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

This week’s reviews

Look at that. It’s September. How did that happen, hey?

Cometh September, cometh the regular TMINE schedule and things are now officially back to normal. Almost. This week’s going to be slightly different in that it’s the slightly unscheduled “Week of Boxsets”, as I finally get round to reviewing all the Boxsets I watched over the summer break.

We started on Monday with season 2 of Netflix’s Mindhunter, quickly followed by season 1 of Amazon’s The Boys.

Today is WHYBW, of course, and the streams can’t cross, but tomorrow we’ll continue with season 3 of Canal+’s Le bureau des légendes (The Bureau), with season 4 concluding the “Week of Boxsets” on Friday.

But I have watched the first couple of episodes of Pennyworth (US: Epix; UK: StarzPlay), so we can talk about that after the jump.

The regulars

With TMINE’s “if it starts in August, I’m not watching it rule” and so many shows in the US having now finished, in preparation for the Fall 2019-2020 season, there aren’t many regulars to talk about at the moment. Thank heavens there are other countries, hey?

So after the jump, let’s talk about the latest episodes of Israel’s False Flag and Australia’s Glitch. See you in a mo.
