Superman & Lois 2x14 + Becoming Elizabeth (2022-?) 1x01&1x02 + Crime (2021) 1x01 + Sherwood 1x04
Worlds War Bizarre
Clark whines. Jordan fights. The Irons kin have issues. Jon is ignored. Ally is a lame baddie, even worse than Edge. Lana and her family whine. People scoff at the idea of aliens and another world. This was dumb. This was under dramatised. There are no constructive solutions. Ally is under feared and a bleak future is feared.
Best Line:
"Scary lady on tv."

Keep Your Knife Bright
Henry VIII is dead, Edward VI is now king and Elizabeth and Mary are pushed aside in this tale of young Lizzy. Catherine Parr gets naked with Thomas Seymour who was famously lively. Catherine Parr does not mourn. This seems an abject failure. There is nihilism. Catherine Parr is a grasping slut. Mary Tudor (Ramola Garai) is precautionary. Thomas Seymour is problematic with an unshakebale commitment to himself. Thomas' brother Edward seeks to control the child king. This was perfunctory and the country is less than harmonious. There are unpredictable pressures. There is a crisis. Elizabeth whines. This isn't realy worthwhile. Thomas Seymour flirts with the underage Elizabeth, oh gross she is 14! Catherine Parr plots. Are we to believe she wanted Thomas to mess with Elizabeth? Oh gross. Thomas burps and pukes and falls around drunk. Edward whines about the possibility of marrying Mary Queen Of Scots who is at present aged 5. The Spanish plot with Mary Tudor. Thomas Seymour and Elizabeth flirt, it's so icky. Anne Boleyn is mentioned as Elizabeth plots to marry Thomas. King Edward shows his religious fanaticism and Lady Jane Grey lurks. Thomas and Edward have issues. Jane offends Elizabeth by bringing up her mother, oh Elizabeth would never like her. Elizabeth whines more.
Best Lines:
"Have faith."
"In what sir?"
"Taking my brother's throne."
"Do you think your father cried?!?"
"Not queen anymore."
"You look thin."
"Some level of decorum."
"Make such an utter disgrace of himself."
"The feckless and the witless."
"I AM THE FU*KING KING!"
"If I lose, I'll be dead."
"The stupid and the godless!"
"Marrying people I should not."
"I carry the sins of my mother."
"I have no owner."
"What are you doing here in MY home?"
You Cannot Keep The Birds From Flying Over Your Head
Thomas Seymor stomps around the house screaming and shouting at dawn. There is a masque. Edward VI is creepy. Catherine Parr is vile. Elizabeth more or less throws herself at Thomas Seymour. Catherine Parr learns her re-marriage has cost her the royal jewels. Thomas and Catherine are grasping vile greedy pieces of sh*t. Thomas is a Tudor fu*kboi. This is incapable of subtlety. Mary is driven out of court. There is a stag. This was not engaging. There is wicked ambition. Thomas tries to have it off with Elizabeth.
Best Lines:
"Loyal oppressor."
"Sad fate for a woman."
"Nuanced religious commentary."
"Can't see the conseqeunce."
"Of no conseqeunce to me."
"Your mother..."
"Is dead."
"The great whore."
"Death to the Pope."

Crime (2021) 1x01
Dougray Scott stars in this Irvine Welsh tale of an abducted schoolgirl. This mediocrity was full of unintentional comedy and comedy 'Scottish' accents and useless slang. This plays like a parody. 2 burly Scottish men fight in a doorway and Dougray Scott goes full on mad ranting at his AA meeting. There are gross details and the missing Britney is an afterthought. There is mansplaining and a poor cat. This was utter crap.
Best Line:
"Serial killing cases that obsess you?"
"What does not exactly mean?"
"Eradicating scum from the face of the Earth."
"How did she react?"
"Sneeringly."
"I smell nonce!"
"Fixating on a piece of f*cking paper!"
"Where's my bairn?!?"
~
Sherwood 1x04
2 killers lurk in the woods. There is family strife and lots of exposition and a reveal and then another big reveal. Ian's wife may be the spycop.....oh nora! This was okay.
Best Line:
"Extract them."
"This place remembers."
"NUM bullsh*t!"
"We fall together."
"Accept whatever's coming."
