Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th September 2026.

20th September, 2026.

OK … it’s going to be a quiet Sunday!

At least I think it’s going to be quiet.

I tried watching the first episode of Star City, the other night.

It … 

It’s well done.

But I found it very slow paced: and the colour palette contributed to a case of eyestrain that made me turn off after half an hour.

By contrast?

I caught the first episode of Widow’s Bay, last night.

With an atmosphere that mixed hints of Lovecraft, King, Jaws and The Fog, matched with a brighter overall colour palette?

I found it far more watchable.
