Easy Watching

Liz Lemon - 30 Rock. Tine Fey (Creator) 2006-2013. Some political jokes go over head. With Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer. 'Dr. Spaceman.'

Trying again - Season 1. Apple series just made it to BBC. Rafe Spall, Esther Smith. Imelda Staunton good fun as counsellor. Creator Andy Wolton.

The Downton movie. Nicely edited by Mark Day, particularly evident in final, waltz backed sequence.

At Home With the Braithwaites. Sally Wainwright writing cartoonish, grotesque figures like husband Pater Davison, daughters, Sarah Smart and Sarah Churm. Mum Amanda Redman seems model of sanity. 2000 - 2003.

The Old Man & the Gun (2018 David Lowery & scr)

Lowery seems to operate more in the fantasy genre so I'm not quite sure how this came about. It is low key, but most enjoyable, helped along by Daniel Hart's music. Based on the New Yorker article, by David Grann, about the real life bank robber and prison escapee Forrest Tucker.

Good cast comprises Robert Redford (his last leading role), Sissy Spacek, Casey Affleck, Danny Glover, Tom Waits, Tika Sumpter. John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman).
