TV Time - (but not Doctor Who)

We binged-watched Adolescence in a single day, wow that was intense.

And I was fascinated by how long the single takes were, until the last 2 episodes which I paid close attention and noticed that they were a single take. Then reading up about it, every episode was done in a single take!

The actors are incredible for being able to do that, although one episode took 16 takes to get it right!!

We watched it last weekend. What a technical marvel! I didn’t even think about it being a single-take show until E3 :joy: and it was the first acting job for the boy in the lead, what a talent he is!

I absolutely love Frieren!! One of my favourite anime, and now one of my favourite manga since picking that up after too

Have yet to see it. Stephen Graham is one of my favourite actors but he does make quite a lot of intense heavy stuff that I need to be in the right frame of mind for.

I’d recommend the movie Boiling Point, like Adolescence its a single take & also directed by Philip Barantini & featuring Stephen Graham.

Continued Strange New Worlds last night. It’s such a good show!

Bit more Drag Race Down Under too which was better and the Snatch Game wasn’t terrible.

I’ve tried it some time ago and I remember it being fine. I’m just so used to trakt that it I never started using it properly.

Letterboxd confirmed they will be adding tv onto the platform at some point, I’m just waiting for that. I tried serializd but having to use multiple apps was a bit of a nuisance.

I have a trakt account but can’t remember the last time I used it!

You can get some shows on Letterboxd I just prefer to use it for just films.
