What have you been watching? Including Shooter

So it turns out that season 2 of Marvel’s Luke Cage is 13 episodes, which makes my ambition to watch it all last weekend very ambitious indeed. I’m up to episode 9, though – spoiler: it’s better than the first season – but it’s probably not going to be Monday now until I can review it. Sorry about that.

However, I did manage to review Strange Angel (US: CBS All Access) and Take Two (US: ABC), as well as pass a third-episode verdict on Condor (US: Audience). I’ll also be reviewing Yellowstone in the next couple of days. Which ain’t bad.

Meanwhile, after the jump, I’ll be looking at the latest episodes in the TMINE viewing queue of Bron/Broen (The Bridge), Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger, Mystery Road and Succession, as well as the season finale of Westworld and the return of Shooter. All that in a mo.

What have you been watching? Including Condor, Succession and Cloak and Dagger

Not quite as complete a reviewing week as I’d hoped, as Impulse took up more time than I’d expected, as did work. But I did manage to squeeze out a look at Paramount (US)’s American Woman. I did, in the end, give AMC (US)’s Dietland a try but given there was a close-up of a woman using a razor to cut open her own breast in the first minute, I decided it might not be for me and gave up pretty speedily.

I’m not sure I can bring myself to watch anything on OWN – that’s the Oprah Winfrey Network to you – so Strange Angel might be all I’ve got up my sleeve in the next couple of days as far as new shows go. However, as season 2 of Marvel’s Luke Cage is on its way, I feel a bit of a boxset coming on.

That’s all to come, but after the jump, I’ll be looking at the latest episodes of the newly replenished TMINE viewing queue: Bron/Broen (The Bridge), Condor, Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger, Mystery Road, Succession and Westworld.
