What is it with Mondays and rain? I’m sure Mother Nature schedules it on purpose. Weather aside. This last week we’ve been working our way through a selection of new content on Apple TV, and have enjoyed a couple of really good shows and a couple that left us, well, at sorts.

📺 Like many, we’re hanging on a plot thread waiting for the last episode of Silo to drop next Friday to find out what the hell’s going on. That is, of course, if they don’t leave us hanging till season 2. So far though, this one has been engrossing and the performances have been excellent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

📺 We also watched the second season of Slow Horses, which is one of those weird shows that leave you at odds. On the one hand I’m enjoying the political intrigue and machinations. But, on the other hand, there’s not one likeable character in the whole bunch, which kind of makes it hard to connect with emotionally. Though I have to say Gary Oldman has been given a juicy role as Jackson Lamb. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🍿 In between the above shows, we watched the highly enjoyable action-thriller, Ghosted, starring Ana de Armas and Chris Evans, who looked like they were having way too much fun. We laughed, we laughed a lot at this one, which featured a silly running gag and a great deal of humour. If you want 2 hours of mindless fun, give this one a go. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Of the couple of shows that didn’t quite do it for us (having only watched two or three episodes) were Truth Be Told. The jury is still out on that one. Then Liaison, which, on paper and, featuring Vincent Cassel (French actor) and Eva Green, should have worked but instead fizzled like a wet firework in a torrential downpour. This one we might come back to.
