Devs: Episode #1.6 (2020)
Silly stuff but watchable
Well six eps in and I guess I am going to stick with this one. It's so silly at times and the main actress is such a block of wood plus the henchman is just not believable in his role as terror inspirer especially his physicality I just don't buy that he would be able to intimidate anyone - Bardem would have done such a better job. That said I like the cause and effect stuff and Offerman is quality throughout. It would have worked so much better as a 90 min feature film and I hope Garland goes back to the big screen after this forage into "quality" TV.

In the balance
It's such a shame. I really do want to like this show. Alex Garland is such a interesting writer and the premise and Offerman are first rate but it has some serious flaws. The main actress is pretty bad especially at convincing emotion. The statue looks so silly as does the golden electro magnetic office. The spy stuff is also really dum at times. I am going to give it another ep but I it's hanging by a thread.
Devs: Episode #1.2 (2020)
Ok
An ok episode but by god the fight at the end was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen! I like a good stylised fight but the way it played out was so silly. Made all the worse by the dirge of a song playing over it.
Arctic (2018)
Awesome survival movie
Well I loved the grey and this almost wordless masterpiece is right up there. Mads is an excellent actor and after seeing him in the bonkers Polar it was great to see him in a quality film. I am also a big fan of Mystery guitar man and am very happy that he made a proper film.
