TV shows you most recently finished watching

Thanks. I suppose I could read one of the half dozen links that keep coming up on google explaining the ending 

Finally got round to watching the final 2 episodes after the last dropped on Friday. Maybe lacking the mystery and intrigue of Season 1 as we now know the important fact about the surface. However most of the occupants of the silo don't so that is perhaps the 'fun' aspect. Naturally we are left with another cliff hanger as well as a very odd flashback at the very end, the point of which escapes me. This is still a solid 8/10 even if it's not on the level of Babylon 5 (or Star Trek TOS, Firefly etc) or even Fallout which was the standout sci-fi show of 2024 for me. I am a sucker for an apocalypse drama. BTW Seasons 3 and 4 are being filmed back to back so you can get invested in this knowing more is to come.

Aussie made series starring Joanne Froggatt as a British minister trying to negotiate a trade deal with her Australian counterpart but who then suffers a personal tragedy while in Australia. A police detective played by John Bradley (of Game Of Thrones fame) comes over from the UK to assist in the related crime investigation. I liked the way it meshed a soap type drama with a crime drama, even managing to shoe horn in some political intrigue along the way. The characters are well drawn and it has some sharp dialogue. Enjoyable 'throw away' stuff with an ending that suggests a further season could be in the offing. 7/10

Drama about the oil industry written by Taylor Sheridan and meant ( I presume) to be a long term replacement for his much loved other Paramount TV show Yellowstone which has now finished. So instead of Kevin Costner we get Bill Bob Thornton and instead of cowboys we get the 'fixer' type characters that are looking to expand the oil business into areas that are more problematic. In this case, Thornton's character gets in the cross hairs of the Mexican drug cartels who believe they run things in southern Texas. Mostly it veers wildly between very serious violent scenes and a lot of very awkward random humor. Also stars Jon Hamm (as an oil magnate) and Ali Larter as Thornton's beautiful ex wife. Highly entertaining but not as yet matching up to Yellowstone. However I like Billy Bob Thornton a lot and would virtually watch anything he is in. 7/10

I expected it to rival Fallout as my favourite show of 2024 but in the end it fell a tiny bit short. I felt they messed up the last few episodes as it became too unclear in terms of what was happening plot wise and that reduced the tension for me. Also way too much ritual suicide so it all became just a bit too repititive. On the plus side there is a ton of period detail and the lead Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada (as the ''Shogun'') is regarded as one of Japan's very best. He is also well known for appearing in the sci-fi shows Helix, Extant and Westworld. I enjoyed it and would put in my top ten for 2024 for sure. 8.5/10

An entry for crime drama of the year, this is predominantly a cast of black actors and focuses on police detective Alex Cross who specialises in profiling serial killers. I thought the acting was as good as anything I've seen for a long while and found the story tense and gripping. I even cried a bit watching the season finale and generally love things that grab me emotionally. Look forward to future seasons. 8/10
