Romesh Ranganathan: The Cynic (2022 TV Special)

Loved stand up part

[5/10 · 25 December 2022]

Chose this as my Christmas Eve comedy and was glad I did.

Romesh is one funny man. I saw him live at Kevin bridges a few years ago and he was funnier than headline act by far.

I laughed from start to finish. Brilliant stand up performance. Some of it I felt guilty at laughing at, like the deserved to meet a paedo at the beach part but it's the way he delivers it. You just can't help chuckling at it lol.

Part 2 was just dire. What were they thinking releasing it? It kinda put me off him a little. Maybe it was supposed to make me think the only people likeable in this family are the brother and kids lol. I don't understand why they realised it. It's why only a 5. If it's an actual representation of who Romesh is then he's a bit of a dick lol. So hopefully he's ment to come across that way, but again, I don't understand why lol.

Prehistoric Planet (2022–2023)

I'm blown away.

Anything with Sir David Attenborough is going to be amazing right? So I started this with good expectations but wow just wow, it far surpassed any of my expectations.

I feel as though I'm watching this as though it was filmed in the wild. I keep having to remind myself that this is about extinct animals lol.

This is so beautiful and mind blowing in every way. The attention to detail is stunning. The research and study that has clearly went into writing and producing this what makes it so beautiful and fascinating in every way. I've been a long term dinosaur fan and watch everything and anything about them but never expected to watch anything like this.

Granted there is some liberties taken with mating dances etc but I want to believe that this is exactly what our world used to be like. The T Rex mating part was em.... interesting 😂.

I really hope they make many many many more episodes.

I've bored my colleagues talking about each episode of this everyday and now my review is a bit over the top gushing so I will stop now.
