^ Fringe is a great TV show. 

I've got one more episode of the second series of Kingdom (Korean Zombies) left to watch. Hopefully more seasons to come.

Unforgotten UK (2015) (Seasons 1 thru 4)
8/10

A police Who-Dun-It that explores one "Historical Suspicious Death' per season while presenting fantastic character studies of a wide range of suspects.
The Season 4 finale left us baffled and suggests that the series might be done but IMDB suggests there may be another season to come in 2022. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Wizards: Tales of Arcadia (2020) - Man, I don't know where to begin... Firstly, R.I.P. Mr. Del Toro's genius. It'll be missed. Secondly... wait... it isn't worth it. What a crapfest it was... I need my eyes to feast upon a delicious fantasy series to forget my recent disgust. Ugh... Terrible.

Better Call Saul. Excellent writing and acting. Saul was the lawyer in Breaking Bad.

It's proved very popular and ITV (who produce it) are heavily reliant on high rating shows to generate advertising revenue . I think it very likely will return.

Panic - I don't think this was really aimed at my age group, but it was surprisingly OK. A bit of a daft premise: a series of games played each year by graduating seniors to get a chance of leaving a dead end town. Of course the challenges come with some serious risks, of like dying, that these teens take in their stride, this despite deaths in previous years (e.g. walking blindfold across a freeway and Russian roulette). Something to have on in the background really. 6/10

Yea, I just read an article about what went on and it is coming back with a new lead. Although it might not have the same impact as we really like  Nicola Walker.

The Split  UK (2018) Season 1 & 2
7/10

A family of women family lawyers (Mother and daughters) who become victims of their own profession's focus.
Mrs. JD really enjoyed it, I was a little less enthusiastic as the whole destructive relationship theme gets a little much for me sometimes. Life can't be that miserable...can it?

Sweet Tooth - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12809988/  I really wasn't sure about this based on its storyline (a hybrid boy/deer living in a post virus world). In fact it's rather good. Great acting and characters, with a really good plot, set in a future world where most humans have been wiped out by a deadly virus. 9/10

The best show ever: History Channel's "Alone" series--Season 8 just having been delivered to Amazon Prime.

And, Korean show "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" (Netflix) is amazing. In my opinion, issues of mental health/illness have rarely been treated so well--(maybe never).

Paradise PD
my favourite 'Adult Swim' animated show. Crude , very rude and wonderfully silly. 8/10

The Kominsky Method (S1-3)
Great credit to Michael Douglas who puts a lot of himself into the main character , never frightened to take the piss out of himself.9/10

Tigtone (2018)

Outrageous... for most, I guess. Those who are interested in fantasy and can like some brutal humour would probably enjoy it immensely. Not outright a blatant parody aiming to degrade "fantasy", but still incredibly funny. The episodes are 11 minutes each. As of now, it has 2 seasons and 21 episodes in total. I loved it. The first season was more bizarre and chaotic, but its second season was still enjoyable. Strictly for adults and those who can tolerate gory stuff. Even though it is an animated series, bloodshed scenes look pretty realistic. 9/10

Loki 2021 (season 1)
8/10

Another 6 episode Marvel series exploring the life of Loki (God of Mischief) after the movie Avengers : Endgame as he is 'persuaded' to assist the Time Variance Authority in correcting the disturbance in time that he himself has created by f#@king with time. Great interactions between Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Mobius (Owen Wilson) keep this multiverse story line on track with just the right amount of humour vs Sci-Fi.

Kingdom: Ashin Of The North (2021) (billed as a one off TV episode rather than a 'film')

A spin off from the Kingdom Netflix series , perhaps best described as a tale of revenge. Quite lyrical and not the total gore fest I expected . High production standard and quality acting 8/10

Hacks 2021 (Season 1)
10 30min. episodes
8/10

Tells the story of a shunned bi-sexual comedy writer and an aging Las Vegas female comedian icon.
Starring Jean Smart & Hannah Einbinder

Jean Smart has always been a favourite of ours and we recently saw Hannah on Colbert. After seeing the 'clip' we had to check it out.
Absolutely brilliant,. I hope they give us several more seasons.

Yes, watched it last night too and very enjoyable it was as well. There is something I really like about Kingdom which I can't exactly pin point - maybe it's just the charm of it. I'd give this spin off 9/10.

I finished Missions last night too, the French sc-fi about the first manned mission to Mars. Only a 6/10 I'm afraid as despite a decent story the execution was poor.

I appreciate the blend of modern and ancient cultural elements, as well as the amalgamation of the Nordic and Anglophone/American traits. The pace is not tight, and the characters are not that cautious, but have a better conviction as a result; as befitting the Scandinavian culture. 7/10, so not a bad start at all.


Finished watching its second season. I'd say pretty much the same things about it, and again give 7/10.

Epidemiya/To the Lake/Vongozero: The Outbreak (2019) - This Russian TV series with many names also has many things to enjoy. Top-notch acting, quality production and whatnot. 8/10

I need to check this out. Yep, Jean Smart is great. Loved her in that barking mad sci-f show Legion as well doing a great job in Mare Of Easttown.
