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.

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.

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.

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 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. |

^ 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.)

^ 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.

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

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.

Just finished Utopia Season One. Not sure how I feel about it. Bit messy and overly nasty at times but does raise an interesting question or two. Not bothered if Season Two happens (I guess it won't) but will probably watch it if it does.

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.

Barry Season 2. Still has my interest, but it definitely got darker. Bill Hader and Stephen Root are fabulous.

I've only seen the older UK one, but I really enjoyed it. I was going to watch this reboot, but the reviews were pretty poor so passed it over. I would recommend the original though.

I've just finished the first and yet only season of Ragnarok (Norway/Denmark). Worth watching, overall. The protagonist is like the mix of a courageous He-Man and a troubled Evan (Ashton Kutcher). 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.
