Alphabetical TV Reviews #62: "Babylon Berlin Season Three". There's so much going on in this again excellent series, it's easy to forget a sub plot but each is as interesting as the last. This season lacks the character development of S2 but still blends fact and fiction. 7.5/10

Alphabetical TV Reviews #1: "The Best of 2DTV". Of course this is dated as it was topical in 2002 but @jonculshaw's (and others') comedy is really well placed. Some proper laugh out loud moments and the political stuff is really close to the bone. 6/10

Alphabetical TV Reviews #61: "Babylon Berlin Season 2". Excellent development of our familiar characters and bringing unfamiliars to the surface. First half is slow but the twists and turns of the second are brutal, engaging and unmissable. The politics weaving with life. 8/10

Alphabetical Movie Reviews #342: "The Deer Hunter" by Michael Cimino. While some sequences are unnecessarily long, it does make the final acts all the more painful. Act 3/4 is really difficult to watch, thanks in part to astounding acting. Viciously anti-war. 9/10

Alphabetical Movie Reviews #216: "Booksmart" by Olivia Wilde. Quite funny coming of age comedy whose main high point is the friendship between Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein. The rest is all quite plotty and illogical. Good debut for Wild, though. 6/10

Alphabetical Movie Reviews #341: "Deepwater Horizon" by Peter Berg. The tech is great and the effects stunning but you need to question why we have such fascination with fetishising disaster like this. Whalberg plays a decent everyman and Malkovich a good heartless tycoon. 5/10
