Outer Range on Amazon Prime. Don't know why I started to watch this, synopsis was a modern day Wyoming rancher struggles to keep his family and land. He then discovers something very strange on the distant reaches of his ranch. Watched episode 1 and I was hooked, Just watched episode 2 and now I have to wait for the rest (weekly.) It is weird, but interesting.

Tried to dive back into South Park for the latest series but I find I can't watch more than 10 minutes of it at a time these days. Nothing to do with the humour, something about the storytelling just doesn't mentally engage me any more.

Also, just saw an article in The Sun (I was pointed to a screenshot) slamming the show for presenting a softened, "woke" version of the T-Rex.

I sincerely hope we have reached peak stupidity as a species because I'm not sure I can take much more.

I do wonder how, from fossil records, they know if a t-rex was woke or not? We don't even know what colour it was!

Raised by Wolves. Sky. Second series of the enigmatic and dark SciFi production that looks yet again at the relationship we might have with sentient machines we may create in the future. Sounds far fetched ? ... but I worked on Neural Networks some years back. They are based on the way the human brain works, although at that time far far less complex. But looking at how electronics and software has progressed in the last 30 years, and will probably progress further at an ever accelerating rate, a sentient machine is not so scifi comic anymore, and it might not be a renegade robot, or a computer with a metallic voice, but something we can't begin to understand.

One for the Footballistas - it's on ITV here, or ad-free on BT if you've a subscription here

From Jadon Sancho to Joe Gomez, a new generation of players raised on cage football and fuelled by the desire to escape deprivation have taken the game by storm.

South Of The River, a new docuseries to be shown on BT Sport, explores the exponential rise of players from the area and takes an unflinching look at the associated social problems including knife crime, gang culture and funding cuts.

Champions League winning captain Rio Ferdinand, who was raised on a Peckham council estate, is an executive producer.

Get this -
In 2020, 14% of the Premier League’s English born players came from within ten square miles of South London

A bit unfocused, but really interesting insight into the grassroots of the modern game.
