Could be we started at like 9PM and made it to episode 6 at 2AM, finished it the next morning. Really hoping for a 2nd season very soon but I suspect it will be 2022. Hoping it does not go the way of The Messiah which Netflix cancelled more seasons. There are 3 books in the Shadow and Bone story, so a good chance it continues.

Time to put this out to pasture! 6.5/10 Up till the last episode I would have disagreed - there were some definite OMG moments and it was all building up to a great climax then Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey, it turned out to be the numpty. When they showed who was being taken into the interview room after they sussed out who was making the spelling mistake (why didn't they do that earlier?) my wife and I both said "oh, it's him" in a disappointed voice. We need a series 7.

Home Before Dark (S1)

The Alienist (S2) 5/10

Just finished "Catch-22" limited-run mini-series.  I haven't read the book or watched the original movie version, but I found the mini-series to be quite entertaining.  The acting is pretty good with some small parts handled by George Clooney and Hugh Laurie.  There were a few fairly gruesome bits, but all part of the story.  I am definitely interested in the book to see how it compares.

I've regularly been watching anime shows mostly on Funimation with my eldest offspring (17)* and have recently finished watching:

- Psycho-Pass (season one) -- it quite reminds me of Death Note which has been my favourite anime series.

- Akudama Drive (first and probably only season). It's made my the maker of the game Dangan Ronpa, and it reminds me of Psycho-Pass.

- The Promised Neverland (season 2). A bit of a let down at the end of this just because it felt wrapped up too quickly. Season one was particularly wonderful, I felt, and it reminded me of Never Let Me Go (one of my favourite modern novels).

- Darwin's Game. This rather reminded me of Alice in Borderland, Dangan Ronpa, and Battle Royale. Think I saw it on Netflix.

By the way I just saw the pilot of the Joss Whedon Victorian sci-fi drama show Nevers last night on Crave HBO (that's my third mention of never, perhaps I should never say never again -- not long ago I was watching all the Bond films).

* When she was three or four I let her post on PA and that troubled some people, while others couldn't tell the difference. How time flies.

Now finished Snowpiercer.

^ We just finished Snowpiercer as well. Cool show, Looking forward to next season.

It's got better after a slightly faltering start but I've warmed to the various strange characters as its gone along. The introduction of Game Of Thrones actor Iwan Rheon for the last 3 episodes is also a big bonus. Apparently no decision has been made on filming Season 4 although Neil Gaiman planned the story arc for 5 seasons and so far he's managed to keep tight reins on the whole project. Just finished it too. I was quite disappointed really. Too much character driven, without much plot. Season 1 was great, 2 and 3 were poor IMO. I've read it's been cancelled, but rumours of a conclusion have been mooted with a movie to finish off. I've just ordered the first 2 books to see how it compares to the TV show.
