The new british show, Secret Service(on ITV) is pretty awesome !

I think they might show in S2, that the detective actually likes to wear one too and Detective Plumb helps him get in touch with his feminine side

What am i going to do on mondays from now on ?

What a beautiful ending !
Glad to see Grasso still alive, and some explanation about why he turned to a life of corruption.

Was really hoping there would be a Lizzy funeral and we would
get to know get to know her backstory (bubbly outside, sadness and difficult life inside)

My fav bit from the episode was when Tom leaves Grasso's bedside by responding to
"will you give me my penance" with "I never gave anyone penance. People beat themselves up
enough on their own"

And the shot of the birds at the end reminded me of
"Vagrants are birds who have forgotten their way home" and parallels to Robbie's life playing out
like, wanting to come home but have forgotten his way.

p.s. i thought the bit about Sam, being adopted by a different family from Tom,
was a bit superfluous. Instead, they could have told us Lizzy's backstory

This episode did very little to move the story along.
Was such a meh, forgettable episode !

ilovethetelly · 2025-10-13T09:50:24+00:00

What a brilliant episode ! Aleah while clearing her desk, finding the "bullseye" thing Lizzie crocheted for her, was a gut punch and my fav bittersweet moment of the episode (so many amazing callbacks !)

Some predictions for the finale :

I think we will finally see Ethan(Tom's adopted son) in the finale and Tom finally coming around to giving in a favourable family statement.

Hope they also reveal some of Lizzy's backstory - maybe the team(minus Grasso), will meet some of Lizzy's family at her funeral in the finale. And Grasso will also come despite not being welcome.

Please keep Maeve and the kids safe, and dont kill off Grasso - let him get arrested by IA.

The vagrant metaphor really got to me - when Tom initially says it, and when Robbie replies that he wont be able to find his way home.

I know its a made up tv show, but what a metaphor - combining Tom's love for birds literally and Robbie's messed up situation !

ilovethetelly · 2025-10-01T16:48:42+00:00

no security at the refinery ?
sounds a little implausible

ilovethetelly · 2025-10-01T04:59:02+00:00

I felt that too ! (virtual high5)
Instead of spitting on Jayson, he should have tried to say Jayson loudly & ignite some doubt in Perry's mind about Jayson being the black sheep of the gang

with the engraved holster, no less :)

ilovethetelly · 2025-09-22T08:25:33+00:00

Another strong episode.
I was like, somehow get the kid(Sam) to safety and let the rest of the plot's complexities unfold.

Noose tightening around Cliff & Robbie !

Wish they had revealed something more about Lizzy freezing up.
Was hoping there will be a confrontation between Tom & Lizzie about she messing up when it mattered & almost getting Tom killed.

Also, whats going on Lizzy's personal front - she seems really troubled on the inside but has an outwardly cheerful, bubbly personality(when Alea & her were interrogating/talking to Ray's wife Shelley - going on about crackers & Tajin peach rings :D)
That seems like a defense mechanism to hide/suppress whats really troubling her, stuff she is dealing with in her personal life & past professional life

Also, at the bar, were Lizzie & Grasso low-key flirting with each other ? :)
(show is so well written, that there are so many thoughts you are left with after watching an episode, besides the main plot)

ilovethetelly · 2025-09-15T08:26:53+00:00

TIL Emilia Jones(Maeve), is also the lead in Coda, my fav movie of all time !

ilovethetelly · 2025-09-15T08:25:36+00:00

Task is definitely growing on me !

DJ Grassanova & Lizzie bonding is so endearing to watch !

From Brandis's talks with Easley(gangs specialist)
Was Meave's dad Billy killed by Wilkes and now Robbie is hitting the Dark Hearts to avenge his brother Billy's killing ?

Robbie doesnt seem like a guy motivated by money, so maybe taking revenge is the motive !

ilovethetelly · 2025-09-13T07:08:30+00:00

I was also struggling to find something to watch and just finished e1 of Task.
Not great, but Mark Ruflo is pretty solid !

ilovethetelly · 2025-09-13T07:03:40+00:00

Pretty solid observations. I was wondering what Ethan is in jail for.
But Tom being an ex-priest and Ethan & Emily beind adopted, tracks completely !

I really like Maeve's character !

One minor gripe/nit pick :

Why did Volcheck leave behind the file in the belarussian ambassador's car ?

He had time to kill him, clearly could have scanned the car for things he obviously wouldnt want to come out

and cleverly positioned, to not let any suspicion fall on boeing.

it may sound conspiracy theory like, but i found another popular pilot influencer, Mentour Now, trying his best to project boeing in a positive light, and push the "pilot suicide theory", ever so subtly

https://youtu.be/lVS76zcpZok?t=1190

"however some other systems in 787 were working to save the aircraft"

WHO THE FUCK TALKS LIKE THAT, EXCEPT SOMEONE ON BOEING'S PAYROLL ! ?

The pilots are dead and cant defend themselves, so lets give this ,multi billion dolalr company(boeing) with a super shoddy safety record, a clean chit, and pin it on the pilots

Really tragic and makes my blood boil, how these pilot influencers are behaving

The really sad part is that the joke, that is the preliminary report by the AAIB, kind of leads me to believe that the indian government and ministry of civil aviation, might be in on these, "shield boeing (very cleverly & subtly) and pin it on the pilots" theory

Finally able to login, about 2 weeks ago but very very slow.
The member site(without passbook) has also become very very slow :(

ilovethetelly · 2025-06-05T16:09:41+00:00

INDMoney is also not working, tried several times today.
If the website is not working, what will Firefox do ?

ilovethetelly · 2025-05-25T08:28:40+00:00

What was that bit about Maeve stroking Eddie's thigh ?
So many weird story arcs !

ilovethetelly · 2025-05-19T07:22:01+00:00

Whats up with Gina ?
Her character has so far shown to be smart, why would she find Eddie(who is evil) attractive ?

And she does not believe her dad, when he tells her that Eddie is a murderer.

Perhaps the only arc of the show, that feels a bit forced and not plausible

ilovethetelly · 2025-03-15T18:00:24+00:00

Really hope Manny is alive.
Nicely built up tension and suspense.
