Weekend Viewing

This last couple of evenings we've crammed in the latest episodes of Agatha All Along, which was excellent—you can check out my review here. Thursday and Friday night we started watching Vigil, a six-part BBC drama set aboard the Royal Navy nuclear-powered Vanguard-class submarine, Vigil. We finished the last episode last night and, I have to say, this was one of the best scripted shows I've seen in ages. The plot, characters, and setting had us hanging on the edge of our seats. I highly recommend watching this one if you can find it in your area.

Then yesterday afternoon, through the evening, we caught up on the last handful of episodes of Star Wars: Rebels through to its heartbreaking final conclusion, finding out what happened to Kanan Jarris, Ezra Bridger, Sabine and the rest of the crew of the Ghost. This show epitomises everything I love about the animated Star Wars shows. It had a great story arc and snappy dialogue, and was genuinely entertaining from beginning to end. More of this please.

We also managed to squeeze in Disney Pixar's Inside Out 2, which while not as spontaneous as it's predecessor, was certainly entertaining enough and, had great heart. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend you do so, and have a hanky or two on hand.

Now I'm wondering what we'll watch tonight.
