^ True Detective and Silicon Valley have been on my to see list for a long time.

While very bittersweet, I loved Picard. It had a heart and it moved me. I thought it to be a very good continuation. I found it heartfelt, poignant, and the way it dealt with frailty and mortality was meaningful.

Other than Twin Peaks: The Return, it's my favourite sort of continuation of an old show (or revival of characters) in recent memory that I can think of.

Yes I found it exactly the same, sad to see the aging but happy to see some of the characters on screen again and I also thought it was very well made.

I also enjoyed binge watching just before I watched Picard, ST Discovery.  Season 3 just started here in the US.

I am starting to wonder are all prog fans also SciFi fans?


A lot certainly are, but then I think that an awful lot of people who like to visit web forums are (and are into the "fantastic" including fantasy and sci-fi genres which overlap). Prog tends to appeal to a certain geeky mindset.

I find The Bridge so very good and yet still have yet to see series four. We had it her on Netflix Canada, but then they removed it. Borgen is one I'm on now (though I'd already seen much of it).
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I watched the first episode and concluded Mrs. Maisel wasn't for me, so haven't gone back.  LOL

With current TV, I've been watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and am down to the last 4 or 5 episodes recorded on my DVR.   On Netflix, I've been watching Deep Space Nine.  I just finished Season 3 this past weekend.  I tend to stick with CBS and watch their 1st run shows, but since the new seasons haven't started yet, I've not been watching that much TV.  With DS9, it seems as though I might sit down and watch 2 or 3 episodes at a time and then not watch again for 2 or 3 weeks.

Seconded ! Thumbs Up

I watch a lot of stuff so have a hard time actually finishing anything. Currently got about 20-30 TV shows on the go which is normal for me.

I finished Future Man not long ago. Its a Seth Rogen thing that ran out of steam even though he injected himself into it to try and give it some momentum. At least it had a proper 'burial' so to speak and the story was concluded. 3 seasons of half hour episodes so easy to watch if you have a bit of time to kill.

I remember being a bit sad when I finished the 3rd season of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. An absolute gem of a show that I would recommend to anyone. Has some of the funniest stuff I've seen for a long time and great chemistry between the lead actors. Alex Borstein (playing Mrs Maisel's agent) is the hidden star of the whole thing. Check it out.

Yessss....Firefly!  Let's protest until they finally bring it back.....okay so maybe by now that is a bit far fetched, but i can always hope.


Somewhere in a parallel universe Whedon was allowed to have Firefly run for the seven years he planned on. I need to find that wormhole that will take me to that parallel universe.


At least you got Serenity. I had no luck in getting Galactica 1980 to continue with Galactica 1981, or more Manimal: "Manimal is back, and he's more Manimal than ever." Just too much Manimal to handle, I guess. Damned speciesists.

Ive always been meaning to give Firefly a proper shot (seen like one episode).

I definitely would have enjoyed more of Galactica. Always thought that they should have expanded on Robert Reed's character and made it a recurring role.

Firefly is well-worth watching. Like a lot of the better sci-fi series, it gets better with each episode.

As you like Farscape, have you tried LEXX?

Before joining this forum, I was a member of the Lexx forum (as FunkET just in case anyone from there amazingly stumbles upon this),

No, I haven't. Thanks much for the recommendation! Thumbs Up

I don't currently have Prime, but I want to watch the second season of the Boys when I can. Not finished, it's still going on, but I watched the first episode of the new series of Fargo the other day (season four with Chris Rock),

Yes RBW was quite bleak, but I was determined to stay with it and about half-way through I was completely hooked.  I have The Boys on my must-watch list, but haven't started it yet, but have high expectations, so we'll see.  

I have been a big fan of the Fargo series, but haven't started the new season yet....

It's perverse, dark, funny and sexy. Rather like the debates here on "Which is better, Yes or Genesis?", we would debate "Who is hotter, Zev (Eva Habermann) or Xev (Xenia Seeburg)?" Then there was bowl of goo Zev which got me going.
