24th July
Stray observations:
1. I regret having blitzed through the entire second season of BoJack Horseman on Netflix in four days. It has built well on the first season with strong character development alongside a lot of strong gags skewering the vacuous nature of Hollywood. It's also frequently hilariously bleak. The Henry Winkler (guesting as himself) line "There's no shame in dying for nothing. That's how most people die" is a case in point.
It's annoying that I'll have to wait a year for more. But that's one of the problems raised by putting entire series up on Netflix at one time. I think to release episodes on a weekly basis would be unwise and flies in the face of how most people view television these days. A long running series on network television with 24 episodes released weekly leaves six months between series. Perhaps a decent compromise would be be split a season in two, with a later release date for the second half.
2. I stumbled onto the World Matchplay Darts yesterday. Phil Taylor was in sterling form, beating Dave Chisnall with something to spare. It's Peter Wright vs Michael Van Gerwen and Taylor vs James Wade in the semi finals tomorrow. It should be compelling stuff. If you like that sort of thing.
3. Life is infinitely more complicated and difficult than I would like it to be.
