Currently Watching

I’ve taken some inspiration from Jessica over at The Pyreflies and her post on what to watch on Netflix, and made my own little round up of what I’ve been watching recently and what’s on my list to watch next…

24Oh 24, so much to say..! Nick started us on a marathon of 24-watching around about a year ago now I think it was. He’d already seen all the old ones before, but wanted to re-watch them ready for the new series, so somehow I got roped into watching them too..!
During our holiday we watched the last series – thankfully only 12 episodes long instead of the lengthy 24 of previous series. I actually quite enjoyed it (probably because it was that bit shorter!) however, it was set in London and there were some pretty obvious errors with locations and timings which I kind of thought was a bit sloppy – don’t they have researchers for this kind of thing?! No spoilers here, but basically one part of the series was based around Wembley Stadium and trying to track a group of people who the viewers could see were looking out at the stadium from their window. As it turns out these people are tracked to a location near Dalston and Hackney. Errr, I hate to break it to you Mr/Mrs 24 Researcher, but it is not physically possible to see Wembley Stadium from Hackney, being that Wembley Stadium is west London and Hackney is east London! I mean seriously, did they not think we’d pick up on this?! Tres annoying.
Overall, having watched all 9 series now, I do feel quite satisfied to have seen them all, even though the plot lines in a lot of them are fairly similar..! There are certain storylines that follow through all seasons though, so it is nice to have watched them all and be able to pick up on the little twists and turns that relate back to previous years.
I would say if you’ve got enough time on your hands then definitely give them a watch, but beware, once you start, it’s a long long road until the end!
