Finished Series 2 of See last night. Not as good as the first, but pretty enjoyable nonetheless, and more to come hopefully. 7/10 Season 2 (9/10 Season 1)

I finished that the other day on my mothers recommendation (she in turn heard about it from Stephen King's twitter). I very much liked it, especially the character of Priest. I did have to suspend my disbelief over some things and did find it predictable, but I enjoyed it for sure. I saw the set at Gary Point Park in Steveston, Richmond, BC, Canada when I went for a walk there one day. Maybe check out The Apostle on Netflix. And for another island series with folk horror and religious aspects, I love The Third Day (featuring Jude Law and written by the maker of the original British Utopia TV series).

The Bambers : Murder at The Farm (2021 4 episodes).
There is already an excellent dramatisation starring Stephen Graham about the notorious brutal murders carried out at White House Farm in the eighties. Jeremy Bamber was convicted of the crimes but has protested his innocence ever since. However The High Court dismissed his appeal in 2002 despite there having been many obvious mistakes made by the police during the initial investigation. However there were only 2 suspects and he had the biggest motive (money) . He tried to blame his adopted sister (one of the victims as it looked initially that she had killed her family before turning the gun on herself) and is still trying to pin it on her to this day. Louis Theroux, in this Sky documentary, delves very deep with as many opinions as he can muster from various parties. There are those including Peter Tatchell (former political advisor and human rights activist) that believe this was a serious miscarriage of justice. Fascinating stuff, make your own mind up! 9/10

^ I enjoy Lucifer as well. certainly my favourite show when it was made by Amazon Prime , then Netflix brought it back for Season 4 onwards and it didn't seem quite as good somehow although I still like it.
Squid Game is a real problem for me . The main character is so annoying it's ridiculous and the episodes are just a bit too long. I decided to bale out half way through episode 2 although everyone I speak to likes it a lot. I don't know if I will return to it though as there are so many other good things across Sky, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, BBC as well as Netflix that I would rather concentrate on for the time being.

^Saw Camelot, Manimal.and Terra Nova.....I liked Camelot...had a good cast but the Arthur story was a bit dull at times but Green and Egerton were easy on the eyes.

^ Manimal and Terra Nova. One could see where the money went on Terra Nova, and it wasn't the script.

Enjoyed Terra Nova and would have liked a second season. I would argue that The Get Down was not a flop at all. It covered in great detail an important part of music history as well as history in general and didn't need a second season imo. The rest pretty much never got to the UK. Thankfully we do have some 'quality control'!

Dr Death 2021 (8 episodes)
not a really bad 1950's B movie but a very interesting dramatisation of actual events that happened in hospitals in the USA between 2012-2017. A rogue doctor (played extremely well by Joshua Jackson) is pursued by a couple of surgeons (played by Christian Slater and Alec Baldwin). Just about the most addictive thing I've watched for a while. 9.5/10.

Well we finally finished all 10 seasons (and the after movie). MI-5 (Spooks) 2002-2011 As I stated in an earlier post this is a great spy show with twists and turns where no cast member is safe. Very highly recommended. Overall series gets an 8.5/10 from us.

Finished Season 2 of the French Sci-fi Missions. A bit of a slow start but picked up when they got back into space. More to come I guess. 7/10

Nine Perfect Strangers 2021 (8 Episodes) 7.5/10 A Psychological drama featuring an 'A' list cast including Nicole Kidman, Melissa McCarthy Michael Shannon, Luke Evans and Asher Keddie just to name a few. Great characters in a little bit of a disjointed story about self discovery and the journey to healing. Strong recommendation.

Goliath S1-4
Sad to see this series finish . Billy Bob Thornton brings his considerable acting clout to always engaging storylines. He is the 'David', a retired lawyer hired to take on massive corporations trying to cover up their evil doings. 9/10. Mr Corman S1 Something different , written by Joseph Gordon-Levitt who also takes the lead role of a 30 something school teacher with anxiety issues. I found it engaging although the lead character is not that lovable or always that nice. However the very varied and interesting supporting cast helps elevate it. Maybe not one of Apple TV's best efforts but not a flop necessarily. 6/10

I know what you mean about the main character, but that changes quickly as we learn more about him. I re-watched it with my wife and realized how funny he was, especially in those early episodes - the gambling bits, accidentally giving a gun to his child for a birthday, asking for another loan from the collection thugs who just beat him... Also, the episodes are quite short compared to most K-dramas, which are often movie-length. (One of the Squid Game episodes is only about 30 minutes long.)

Midnight Mass - Very religious and a few too many monologues, but a gripping watch nonetheless with a loose thread that could lead to further seasons. 9/10

Foundation S1 2021 (8 episodes)
I presume a very expensive Apple sci-fi series that barely managed to get off the ground. I love Lee Pace as an actor, suitably very arrogant as 'Empire' the clone dynasty , and this made it watchable as much as anything. Overall not bad and certainly visually spectacular but not as engaging as, say, The Expanse drama wise. Has the potential to get better (Season 2) has been commissioned. 7/10
