| + | * [[wp>In The Line of Duty]] | ||
| + | * [[wp>Solar Opposites]] | ||
| + | * [[Columbo]] - Working our way through a list of the best episodes, strange to think some of these episodes are more than 50 years old. Fun to see actors like Leonard Nimoy etc. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Superman and Lois]] - Bah, I was annoyed after the first episode, such a focus on emotions. I'm a sucker for Superman though, so will probably watch the others in the background. By start of episode 5: Bah, infuriating emotional teen shite. I'm intrigued by Lex Luthor and alternate realities though.. Damn, still watching. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Resident Alien]] - The pilot was good. I'm a big fan of Alan Tudyk so have to see it. | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Mandalorian]] (Season 2) | ||
| + | * [[wp>Caprica]] | ||
| + | * [[wp>Stargirl]] - Meh, undecided. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Marvel: Agents of Shield]] - This is mostly background. Some of the AI/framework stuff in Season 4/5 was interesting. They didn't do as much with it as I hoped though. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Infinity Train]] - Meh, undecided. Annoyingly short episodes. | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Twilight Zone]] (Season 2) [2020] - Undecided. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== 2021 ===== | ||
| + | * [[wp>Bloodlands]] - Meh, this was ok. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Cobra Kai]] (Season 1-3) - I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. I really like the acting/character from William Zabka. Will watch more when it comes out. | ||
| + | * [[wp>WandaVision]] - Struggling to get through the first couple of episodes. Meh, it was ok. I could have watched the Agatha episode and the finale and that would have been all I needed to see. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Dead Pixels]] - I didn't enjoy this at all. It all felt a bit pathetic - was that the point? I dunno. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Yellowstone]] (Season 3) - I enjoyed it, but was happy for it to end, however the last episode makes me excited for Season 4. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Your Honor]] (Season 1) - Enjoying this. Bryan Cranston is doing a great job as usual. | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Expanse]] (Season 5) - Meh, I enjoyed it, not sure I'd recommend it to anyone though. Althoug this season was good, better than 3 and 4, the first two seasons had more to offer I think. Anyway, might still read the novels. | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Expanse]] (Season 4) | ||
| + | * [[wp>Next]] (Season 1) - I'm always happy to watch a show about an AI. It was a frustratingly stupid AI though. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Traces]] - This was decent. Not sure I'd recommend it though, there are better shows. Martin Compston did a decent job as usual. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Yellowstone]] (Season 2) - Lots of action and stuff going on. Decent. | ||
| + | |||
| ===== 2020 ===== | ===== 2020 ===== | ||
| + | * [[wp>Yellowstone]] - Just started the pilot, looks good. | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Mandalorian]] (Season 1) - Good show. I'm not super into it, but happy to watch it. | ||
| + | * [[wp>His Dark Materials]] (Season 1) - Good new show, I'd read the first book, but the world is all pretty new to me. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Star Trek Lower Decks]] (Season 1) - Really enjoying this, it's a bit over the top at times, but I enjoy the humour and its always nice to have more Star Trek. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Star Trek: Discovery]] (Season 3) - Meh, the show started well, lots of interesting ideas, but I didn't enjoy many of the episodes. Michael annoyed me. The amount of pontificating was frustrating. I had a glimmer of hope when the AI reappeared, but this opportunity was just wasted again. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Automan]] - Wow, this might be one of the cheesiest things I've ever seen. No explanation at all for why this guy was conjured up out of thin air from an early 80s mini computer. I like it :) Only one season before it was cancelled, apparently each episode cost a record setting $1 million to make. Finished: It really shows that they didn't know anything about computers (and assumed noone else did), his powers were getting quite over the top but they had an easy out (his power requirements). Shame it was cancelled. | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Undoing]] - I enjoyed this, though I kinda guessed how it would pan out. The girl was pretty - she looked a bit like a native american Jennifer Lawrence. | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Ripper]] - Interesting documentary. It seemed like they had an unusual amount of relevant high quality footage which I found a little strange. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Raised By Wolves]] - Enjoying this. I think it has a lot of potential. The pilot episode was great, feature length and showed lots of stuff while raising more questions (rather than just opening lots of 'tease' threads). Finished: Meh, the pilot was great. Not much else happened in the rest of the show. It could have been a decent mini series, plenty that could have been cut out and not affected the show. Stil, the world is intriguing. I'll watch another season. | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Boys]] (Season 2) - Wow. I enjoy this show. It's brutal. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Hanna]] (Season 1 & 2) - Meh, this was OK. Bit too 'coming of age' teen stuff for me, and the ending just sort of petered out. | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Fall]] (Seasons 1-3) - This was great show, Gillian Anderson was excellent, I thought her character was pretty interesting. The villian was very good too. Wasn't sure where it was going by the start of season three, which was a good thing. I enjoyed the ending too. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Brave New World]] (Season 1) - This wasn't bad - I liked it. | ||
| * [[wp>Pennyworth]] (Season 1) - I was pleasantly suprised at this. The lead did a great job channelling a young Michael Caine/Alfred. The story got a bit far fatched, but overall I enjoyed it. They painted a really interesting alternative Britain/world in which Gotham exists. I'll watch more. | * [[wp>Pennyworth]] (Season 1) - I was pleasantly suprised at this.

| * [[wp>Inhumans]] - Meh, pretty mediocre. Had it on the background mostly. Nothing stood out much to me, they chould have done a lot more with the guy who saw probabilities (in a sense). I also wanted to hear more about the face in the wall, which could have been fascinating. Oh well. | * [[wp>Inhumans]] - Meh, pretty mediocre. Had it on the background mostly.
