The original UK one or the new one?

The new one which I gather is not as good. I wasn't aware it was a re-boot when I started watching it. I may go back and watch the original at some point.

yep quite excited by that and watched the first episode on Tuesday (think they have put up 3 so far). It tends to go over my head a bit but I imagine fans of sci-fi that incorporates a bit of pseudo political drama such as Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Babylon Five will no doubt love it. For me its the characters and action so it has something for everyone.

Stephen Root is an underappreciated talent.   Remember him as the dentist on Louie ?

^ I found it took a little time to gain some traction. i think they were trying to build the mystery and intrigue.
The second season certainly stepped it up.

Just finished the first season of Barry with Bill Hader and Stephen Root.
1/2 hr episodes with a story line along the lines of Grosse Pointe Blank with John Cusack. But darker with black comedy and holy sh*t moments. Worth checking out. Starting Season 2 tonight.

^ Humour on Ancient Rome: Plebs; great show. Especially the first 2 seasons. Recommended. (Though, I watched its first 3 seasons long ago, so not "recent" at all. I've yet to watch its other seasons.)

Just finished 2nd. season of Undercover:



Wonderful Belgian series, of an undercover cop in the ecstasy mob. Beautiful landscapes, two beautiful ladies and a beating plot.

I liked best the 1st. season but only because of the tone, for me both are top-notch.
Netflix.


Inhuman Resources featuring former (great!) soccer player Eric Cantona:



French series; found it very enjoyable. Only 6 chapters on Netflix.


Justo Antes de Cristo (Just Before Christ):



Spanish series; an absurd / Monty Python-esque (not that much) take on Imperial Rome, relating the whereabouts of a disgraced noble, Manio Sempronio, on Thrace with general Cneo Valerio Acquila. Loved it. Laughed a lot! Saw it on Movistar.

Treadstone -  Bourne diaspora that shows the beginnings of the secret behavior modification program Jason Bourne emerged from.   Not horrible but bromidic, often drags, and is crammed with filler.

Just finished Okkupert (Occupied). Was an excellent series but left way too many loose ends. Its a Norwegian/French produced series about an EU backed Russian occupation of Norway, who had ceased oil production in the wake of severe global climate crisis.

Billions -Final Season
disappointing ending , did they really intend to throw it away like that. Peaked around season 3 as is often the case with many things.

Legion Season 3
A weaker offering than the first two seasons IMHO.
Like Star Trek Discovery, it seems to have had less than stellar  writing.


Six Feet Under
My wife was bugging me to watch this series for the last year or so.
Very enjoyable, although by season 4 it was getting a little heavy.
5 seasons was certainly enough but I would recommend it if you have never seen it.

I just finished watching the entire two seasons of Why Planes Crash on YouTube, even though most of the episodes are listed erroneously on YouTube as Air Crash Investigation. Wacko
