Finished the fourth and final season of Westworld last night. Entertaining enough, but a shadow of its former greatness. I'm not surprised they didn't bother to go ahead with the originally intended final fifth season.
Earlier in the week I also finished the first part of Yellowstone's fifth season. It seemed to lack the humour of the earlier seasons, but thankfully toned done the social justice elements that usually revolve around the Monica character. I found it as entertaining as ever, but I feel they should probably make the second part of the fifth season its last.
I'm currently watching two other series at the mo: The Borgias, and Taboo. The first I've seen multiple times. The second is a BBC drama starring Tom Hardy, swaggering around Napoleonic-era London like a mad bastard, while battling the East India Company and others over a piece of land on the west coast of Canada, which promises fortune in trade in China for the one who can possess it. I'm enjoying it, but it suffers from being a BBC production: if it was a HBO show, it could probably go darker and grittier, which it would benefit from.
I've recently bought the first two seasons of Peaky Blinders, which I'll get to soon. I'm around ten years behind the times, but hey. I also need to watch the second season of Mayor of Kingstown.
