^^Never heard of it, but looking forward to viewing it.

Hope you enjoy it. Not moody and gritty this one I promise.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

I'm watching it! I'm watching ep1 right this moment! 3 minutes in and... God, I'm ridiculously excited!!
I hope I'm not hugely disappointed. Life has been a tad harsh recently, but that would be a serious blow...

[dtaai-maai]

Okaaaay, first off, I'm definitely not hugely disappointed. It was quite good, it might even become very good.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Think I'm going to wait until Paramount+ is available in the UK next month and binge watch with the free 7-Day Trial.... God I'm cheap.

On eztv.

Of the assortment of new things I've watched recently, this is possibly the most intriguing. Early days yet, I've just finished ep 2, but I feel a binge coming on...

A strange one at times, but I did enjoy it - certainly well worth the watch.

Getting back to reality..

Just watched the first ep of We Own This City, from the same team that brought us The Wire. Brilliant stuff.

We Own the City is set in Baltimore 2015. Riots are erupting across the city as citizens demand justice for Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old Black man who has died under suspicious circumstances while in police custody. Drugs and violent crime are surging, and the city is reaching its highest murder count in more than two decades: 342 homicides in a single year, in a city of just 600,000 people. Facing pressure from the mayor's office-as well as a federal investigation of the department over Gray's death-Baltimore police commanders turn to a rank-and-file hero, Sergeant Wayne Jenkins, and his elite plainclothes unit, the Gun Trace Task Force, to help get guns and drugs off the street. However, behind these new efforts, a criminal conspiracy of unprecedented scale was unfolding within the police department. Entrusted with fixing the city's drug and gun crisis, Jenkins chose to exploit it instead. IMDB



You know where to go to get it..

Well ain't that just the durndest thang I ever did see!! I enjoyed it, in the sense that I happily watched every episode. I confess I didn't understand a lot of it, even after going back and watching some bits over again. I mean, what was that business with the bears all about??

Anyway, roll on season 2...

Season 2 of Picard is also available on Amazon Prime.

Just finished watching and very enjoyable it was too!!

Great to hear filming of Season 3 is already completed with an expected release date of late 2022/early 2023.

Unfortunately, it seems very likely that it will be the final season and the last we'll see of JLP

Aging Mike Myers makes Netflix series. Centuries old secret society blah, blah. MM fans might like it.

Yep, landed on Amazon Prime in the UK so will no doubt be available on the usual suspects. Not the greatest of reviews, but I'll certainly give it a go.

Yes, I'm on ep 7 and thorouhly enjoying it. Better than season 1 IMO. I particularly like the way they've introduced characters from earlier Star Trek incarnations.
