Hey guys,
It's that time of the year again to start compiling those best of lists so that everyone can learn what they've missed and spend half of 2018 trying to play catch up.
I'm gonna wait for The Last Jedi before my top 10 movies goes up but I'll whack my TV series one up shortly given that I'm not gonna get through much more TV by the end of the year (Aside from hopefully Rick and Morty).

So my top 10 in no particular order is:
13 Reasons Why
Better Call Saul
The Leftovers
The Handmaids Tale
Game of Thrones
Ozark
The Sinner
Mindhunter
Stranger Things
Big Little Lies
Confession; I haven't seen the likes of South Park, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Rick and Morty or Vice Principals this year.

Game of Thrones
The Deuce
Stranger Things
Mindhunter
The Deadliest Catch (I'm a sucker for this don't know why)
The Grand Tour
Doctor Who (Capaldi get's stronger in each season and his last was no exception)
Blue Planet II
Silicon Valley
That's about it, I don't watch a ton of current TV and I think the only movie I saw this year was Spiderman and that was just because my friends wanted to see it.
Super pumped for Good Omens next year!

I've got in the habit this year of going to the cinema after work. There's a big Vue multiplex next to my office and an independent cinema a little further down the road. Those are all great films and I'm sure you'll enjoy them. |

Mr Robot is worth heading back to then? I was so disappointed with s2 that I didn't bother with s3. |

It develops the story well and is a lot easier to follow than the past two seasons. Lots of questions from the previous seasons get answered too. |

Can confirm PBS's The Vietnam War makes the cut. It's a big commitment at 12 hours but covers so many aspects of the war in great detail - the whole history of the conflict, the politics behind it, the type of warfare it involved, the most famous battles and moments in the press, and the reaction in America. The human story/impact is captured with a set of incredibly moving interviews with vets and civilians on both sides. It's all masterfully edited and has a great soundtrack from the era the war took place (lots of Rolling Stones and Beatles). I can't recommend it enough if you like learning about history. |

Ken Burns' documentaries are always interesting to watch. His WWII documentary was fantastic. |
