I've been watching Murdoch Mysteries on youtube. Old Canadian TV show, fairly mild, amusing for an hour or so. They get some history wrong at times, which is annoying, but so do most shows.

I watched Borderlands the other day and was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

I'm also very much into the new series of Reacher.

I'm not game to watch the Borderlands film, which is a crying shame, as the Borderlands games are amongst the few FPS games I actually enjoy playing. With all due respect to Cate Blanchett, I think she was entirely miscast as Lilith. Here's the intros to the main games so you can see what you're missing out on...basically, sheer awesomeness...

And Penfold? I recommend that, should you ever decide to play one of the Borderlands games (assuming you haven't already), play the second one first. You can pick up a lot of the storyline from there, and it's easily the best game of the series. The first game took until the DLC campaigns to truly find its feet and tone, but the second game? Then again, the game has one of the best villains in all of fiction in Handsome Jack. Here he is in all his dubious glory in one of the trailers for the second game...

Anyhoodle, I've been watching a documentary series on SBS on Demand called Crazy Rich Ancients. It's American and highly-sensationalised, but it's fun and entertaining as well as educational...
