This week we’ve been watching The Crystal Maze, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Season 1, volume 1. #TheCrystalMaze #TheHandmaidsTale #MargaretAttwood #MightyMorphinPowerRangers

It’s the last show on our old-style TV, but we’ll be back in the near future with a shiny new flat-screen.

This week we’ve been watching American Gods, The Keith & Paddy Picture Show and The Fake News Show. #AmericanGods #TheKeithAndPaddyPictureShow #TheFakeNewsShow #OnTheBox #Television #TheGeekShow #News #Reviews #TV #Comedy #Podcasts
