What have you been watching?

It’s “What have you been watching?”, your chance to recommend to fellow TMINE readers anything you’ve been watching this week

I’ve watched just two things, both of them regulars, since last week: Debris, and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. I blame Easter and taking a couple of weeks off. I’ve not even watched last week’s For All Mankind.

Debris was good, but was more a spy versus spy than a fringe science thing, so possibly the show’s first ‘not that great’ episode, although it was good for what it was – I’ll watch last night’s episode later this week.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier seems to be hitting its stride now, which given it’s only six episodes long is a bit belated but has given us some good fight scenes, as well as (spoiler alert) Wakandans. This week’s ep did have a bit of a lull in the middle, though, and we did get a ‘really? In 2021?’ moment when (spoiler alert) the Black sidekick got killed to give the anti-hero a reason to go mental . But the second half was a solidly intense bit of superheroic (and not so heroic) fighting. Plus we got the Zemo dance

Still, fingers crossed, I might actually watch something this week.

But what did you watch?
