What a slug. I grocery shopped, worked a little on a jigsaw puzzle, and then watched an FRS spring training game. I had soup for lunch and started looking for something to watch. And like a couple weeks ago’s finding of Yellowjackets, I got anchored to the couch for the rest of the day watching Deadloch. I found this on Prime listed as New, with a 7.5/10 IMDb rating, #4 in drama TV shows, a tag that said ‘Comedy,’ and New Season.
Interestingly, when I selected season one to look at the episodes, there was a line under Episode 1, but I didn’t remember watching the show, and usually if I watch a complete episode, I keep going… And when watching the show, there were spots that seemed familiar, but on the whole, I’d swear I hadn’t seen it1. It is set in a small seaside town in Tasmania. Some of the accents were kind of thick, and maybe I should have put on the closed captions, but almost all of the humorousness was understandable, and I didn’t have any trouble keeping up with the plot.
There were 8 episodes in season one, and they all clock in at around an hour. Besides a quick dinner, bathroom breaks, and drink refills, I spent from 12:30pm to 9:00pm hardly moving. That new season has just 6 hour long episodes, so you know where I’ll be tomorrow afternoon.
