^ its certainly got quite a cast with the likes of Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis and now Lauren Ambrose who wasn't in the first series. I'm about 6 episodes into Season 2 and its getting a bit easier to watch. Hour long episodes can be a pain but its so well written and acted, must be one the better things around at the moment.

I've been on a long Star Trek binge ever since I first got really into
the franchise last summer, and I finished Deep Space Nine just a few
weeks ago; absolutely beautiful life-improving and affirming stuff, even
better than the already fantastic Next Generation in my humble opinion.
The ongoing story was fascinating enough but the characters are what
truly sold it for me. From my experience as an autistic person and a
trans woman I couldn't help but feel like Odo and Dax were really well
written and on-point representations of those two respective descriptors
even if it probably wasn't entirely intentional; but really the entire
cast shines all the way through: I was no less engaged by the religious
devotion and development of Kira and Sisko even though I personally am
not religious at all; it's like it's got something for everyone.

Just finished it (season 2 of Yellowjackets). Very good all round really. I've read there are to be 5 series in total so not too much has been given away so far. But it's still gripping stuff and quite brutal at times. this season 8.5/10

They were talking about the Emmy nominations earlier today, just hope that Yellowjackets gets some love and its not all about Succession (even if that thing is brilliant).

2 nominations for Best Drama series and Best Lead Actress in a drama series for Lynskey. Nothing in supporting actress category for Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci which is dominated by White Lotus and Succession. Apart from those aforementioned 2 shows, The Last Of Us received a load of nominations as well and good to see Bella Ramsey nominated. Pleased to see some acting nominations in Limited series category for Blackbird. Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser should each be picking up an Emmy in their lead and supporting actor categories. Also nice to see Ray Liotta nominated in his last TV series role. Looking through the nominations it's massively dominated by US shows and especially HBO. Not that much sign that the likes of Netflix, Apple and Paramount are bridging the gap as yet.

Alone. Season 9.
American survival competition series. 10 people try to survive alone in the wilderness. They are isolated from each other and all other humans, have to build shelters and get food by hunting and catching wild animals and eat berries and stuff. They film themselves, so there is no camera crew around or anything. Pretty interesting.

DS9 was a great series. I agree that the characters on that series were really interesting and quite complex. I haven't seen it since it was last broadcast. It's on my list of series to re-watch in the near future. Right now I'm in the middle of re-watching Babylon 5 (which I also haven't seen since it was last broadcast) and Heroes (which I've never seen before), and plan on watching DS9 shortly after I finish those. Enterprise (from 2001-05) is another one I want to re-watch.

DS9 was generally considered the best of the Star Trek spin offs' and delved a lot into spirituality as I remember and the origins of the universe. Had wonderfully big ideas and well realised characters.

I literally just finished The Devil is a Part-Timer Season 2 like 20 minutes ago. My god the animation was a step down from season 1 and the plot has become generic and boring. I just found out that season 3 literally started yesterday, too. I will watch it, only to finish the series, but I just hope it doesn't drag like season 2...

De 12 van Oldenheim - 1 season / 13 episodes (Netherlands): A really good mystery/drama. Interesting story, intriguing mystery with a satisfactory revelation, finely crafted plot, and solid acting. 8.5/10

Catch-22
Blackadder season 2 Creature Comforts season 1 All great! Catch-22 was a positive surprise. I thought I'll try and watch the first episode but got sucked in and watched the whole thing. Maybe even as good as the movie? At least more thorough. I thought Creature Comforts was a kids' show and watched it with my 10 year old.
 Well, she liked it anyway and so did I. |

Westworld Series 4. Series 1 was brilliant, 2 and 3 not so much - it all got too confusing so I've been putting off watching this, the final, series (cancelled after this). It's better than series 2 and 3, but still confusing. Half way through now then I can forget about it after 4 more eps.

One of only 3 TV series I've re-watched in entirety (the other 2 being Blake's Seven and GOT) . I love an apocalypse drama in general (Silo and Last Of Us are also great)

No Escape (7 episodes)
Plenty of tension in this limited series adaption of a popular thriller book. 2 young UK women are fleeing the country for reasons unknown and hitch a ride on a small yacht in The Philippines. Another Paramount + success making it currently my favourite streaming platform. 8/10

Finally catching up with Series 7 of Fear the Walking Dead (SE08 is on at the moment). Also I've found out that The Walking Dead: Dead City with Negan and Maggie is on too - and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon starts in September - in France of all places lol,

The Offer
This limited series drama from Paramount looks at the making of the Godfather from the book by Alan Ruddy (the producer) and details his run ins with the Mafia among other things. Very entertaining , great cast and quite emotional in some respects. Miles Teller is superb as Ruddy especially. 9/10

16 rather crap episodes of Series 7 of Fear the Walking Dead completed last night. I'll probably start watching the second series of Good Omens next.

I finished Futurama for the third or fourth time last March. It seems there is a new season this year, the first in like ten or so years. The first episode was awful. And judging by titles if the rest of the episodes, it's not going to be very good moving forward either - they're way too topical and the premier was way too meta. Also, I think Billy West may be getting a little too old for this; he's straining hard and I don't think characters sound really that great right now. The animation itself is spot on. But this makes me nervous about the show's near perfect legacy...
