Yikes Uncle Reg...I watched the trailer! The Head looks very scary and intense! Hope I get to see it if it comes out on DVD. I will put it on my list of to watch!

Watching Blood Origin now. It's fun. After that I have a few things lined up; a couple of K-horror dramas, and then I think there's a second season of the Lincoln Lawyer, which I liked.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

I'm a bit disappointed with Witcher: Blood Origin. I'm absolutely certain that in the books and the games the first Witcher was Human, not Elven. Surely an origin story should be accurate? Anyway, it's a fun romp, if nothing else.

Am filling the space until Season 2 of Invasion starts so watched the first season of a British series called Kin, set in Dublin and revolving around a crime family. It was a good watch, and it set itself up for season 2 (which has screened elsewhere but isn't yet available here). Glad you rememebered what it was Uncle Reg. I hadn't heard of it but it looks like something I would enjoy ![yes yes](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/yes.gif) .

Hagatha, here is what I found in a search... I understood Blood Origin to be kind of a "prototype" of a Witcher too.
“We know in the books to a certain point how the witchers were created. The reason we call it Blood Origin is because we’re telling the tale of the first prototype of a witcher,” creator and showrunner Declan de Barra explained to ComicBook.com in a December 2022 interview. “This witcher is not the witcher we know who’s humanlike and, you know, can take potions and have powers. It’s 1.0. But it’s the origin of what enables witchers to exist in The Witcher world in Sapkowski’s books.”
Once again, weeds are my life!

The recent release of the episodic game prompts me to mention that if you like big canvass sci-fi, full of large ideas and political intrigue, The Expanse is well worth checking out. I only ever read the first book but they are well regarded also.

I finished Season 2 of Lincoln Lawyer -- a good, solid series -- and have now started Sweet Home, which is Korean TV does horror so very well!
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Sweet Home is indeed good hagatha. Try Hellbound next, or Alice in Borderland. All of Us Are Dead too! (and I am sure some of these have been discussed previously)

Dark Winds definitely sounds like something to look into!

I think one of my streaming services has AMC+ so I'll have a look for Dark Winds. I read a few of Hillerman's books back in the day.

Sorry you haven't been able to get it Lex. It is a great series and you probably would enjoy it even more as you have read the books it is based on. Gerry ![catrub catrub](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/catrub.gif)

I'm going to wait until the whole season of Wheel of Time is available, so I decided to rewatch Good Omens; I watched the first season back when it first came out and have the 2nd season to look forward to. David Tennant is absolutely wonderful is this role. Just shows how versatile an actor he is.

Just come to the end of Grimm ![cry cry](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/cry.gif) - for me, a really great watch so I may have to start again from the beginning fairly soon! An engaging mix of characters with absurd (and humorous) plot lines played wonderfully deadpan. Entertaining without being taxing (in a positive rather than boring way) without offensive language or other potentially jarring content beyond some macabre and violent deaths (but not excessively graphic given the storylines)... Now making do with Jack Ryan until I stumble on a new addiction.

We certainly did Gerry - excellent must-watch stuff: we usually get those and other British productions quite a lot sooner than you do in USA, although I know that Netflix sometimes joins in some bigger productions with the BBC, in which case you may get them at the same time. Most of our regular watching is still the original British channels despite access to Sky and other streaming services. BBC and ITV are now also offering streaming online via the BBC Iplayer and ITVX, but those may still be unavailable outside UK. ![blackkitty blackkitty](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/blackkitty.gif)

Four episodes into season 2 of The Wheel of Time and liking it. Special Ops: Lioness on Paramount + is pretty heavy subject matter but it was excellent. Having a cast with Zoe Saldana, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman does not disappoint. The woman who plays the lead is new to me, Laysla De Oliveira, but she is an incredible actress. If you can handle dark themes and violence this is well worth the ride.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.
