What have you been watching? Including Almost Family and Mr Robot

9 October 2019 Rob Buckley 13 Comments

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

Ruby Rose

This week’s reviews

This week’s been a bit quieter than planned reviews-wise. I did manage to review Batwoman (US: The CW) as planned; however, I’m just finishing episode eight (of nine) of Raising Dion, which is obviously a day or two later than Boxset Monday and Tuesday allows. But it’s a shoo-in for next week.

What’s coming this week

Orange Thursday didn’t happen again, either. Sorry. However, fingers crossed, we’ll be looking at Between Two Ferns: The Movie (2019) and – in a brief flashback to Weekly Wonder Woman – Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (2019).

As well as Raising Dion, the coming week should also bring us Nancy Drew (US: The CW) and eternal optimist that I am, I’m hoping to watch season two of Plan Cœur (The Hookup Plan) over the weekend.

And after that, Fall 2019 – part three begins…

Mr Robot
Mr Robot

The regulars

Fall 2019 – part one and Fall 2019 – part two brought us new shows, but I’ve been winnowing again. I can’t really be bothered with either Prodigal Son or Emergence any more, so they’ve been dropped from the viewing queue.

But that still leaves us with Evil, Magnum PI, Mr InBetween, Pennyworth, Stumptown and Titans. On top that, Mr Robot has made his comeback.

All of those after the jump, together with a brief rundown of last week’s extra turkey, Almost Family.

What time, TMINE? Including Nowhere Man, The Name of the Rose and Looking for Alaska

4 October 2019 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK

The observant will notice that last week, there was no ‘What time, TMINE?’ That’s not because I forgot but because there were no new acquisitions or premiere dates announced last week – at least, none that I noticed or anyone told me about.

This week, however, we’ve had a few premiere dates announced. And a faux-acquisition…

Oops, I missed it

Netflix has acquired TV3 (Spain)’s Les de l’hoquei (The Hockey Girls). That got announced this morning, but it’s apparently been available since September 20. Oh well.

Anyway, if you like teenage Catalan roller hockey and want to watch something that “addresses the subject of female adolescence in an honest way, with the occasional daring touch,” The Hockey Girls might be for you.
