I've been catching up with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which has been awesome. Just watched their musical episode "Subspace Rhapsody" and though it was a ton of fun. There was actually a part near the end that made me laugh so hard I snorted. You can tell they put a lot of work into it, and dang, they've got some amazing vocal talents in that cast.

Lex I love BBC productions they are so well done and the stories so unpredictable. Lots of the older series are out on DVD and i can rent them from our local libraries. Some day I hope to be to subscribe to "Brit Box" that has a lot of British series.

Lex, Grimm was fun.

Finished Season 2 of Good Omens. Fantastic cast. Again, John Hamm was hilarious. Who knew?

I'm watching Season 2 of Hope Street on my PBS channel...enjoying it. I recognize the location where they filmed it...same town as the PBS series Sanditon (based on Jane Austin's last novel). Anybody watched Sanditon? It was an excellent period piece.

I think I may have to sign up for Paramount + in view of TM's recommendation of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!

Lex, great minds thinking alike, I literally just signed up for Paramount + for the same reason. They now have all of the Star Trek content.

Last night Linda immediately locked on to 1883 because of Sam Elliott, so Star Trek will have to wait a bit: there are a few other good things there as well!

Lex I watched 1883 on DVD from my local library...excellent...it was the prelude to Yellowstone. I just got Season One of 1923 from my library. It is another Yellowstone origin story. Will watch it this weekend!

Hagatha I watch the first Season of Star trek Strange New Worlds...waiting for more!

Gerry

The series Star Trek: Discovery precedes Strange New Worlds. If you want to see the build up, watch at least the first two seasons of Discovery.

Didn't know that Trail_Mystic. Thanks.

Gerry

I was wondering where all the Star Trek went. The entire collection was on Crave TV here in Canada and the it wasn't. Now I know.

I'm watching Walking Dead: Dead City at the moment. It's not bad. Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Neegan is closer to the original iteration of the Neegan character by necessity, which makes for interesting times. I'll give it a try.

The other show I'm most interested in is the Justified reboot; City Primeval. The whole season is on AMC+. Justified remains one of my favourite shows ever, so I hope this lives up to the original.

Hagatha I watched the first Season of Walking Dead:Dead City already. I wish the season wasn't so short...you just start to get into it and it ended.

I've also watched the new "reboot" of Justified...not nearly as good as the original series. The main character, Raylan really looks like he's aged...he looks so thin to me. He doesn't have that same feel to the character...at least I don't think so. I will be curious to see how you feel about it.

Gerry

Getting quite into Star Trek: Discovery thanks to T_M's mention, usually while I wait for Linda to come to watch 1883 (as she is not a Trekkie)!

I share your view on the reboot Gerry, although I did enjoy watching it. I also didn't realise that Raylen's on-screen daughter is also his real life one!
Finally got the chance to watch the end of Foundation Season 2. I will definitely have to watch it through again in one go, and might have to revisit the novels.
Now if only Invasion would come down a bit faster

Flotsam I did watch the whole thing too, but I didn't know that was his real daughter. She is a good actress. I will have to wait for invasion to come out on DVD to watch it. I've sen the previews and it looks really good.

Lex I watched 1883 and just finished the first season of "1923" which is another prequel to Yellowstone. It was excellent as well.

I've also seen previews to the new series with Nichole Kidman called "Special Opps: Lioness". Has anybody heard about it or watched it yet?

Gerry

Special Ops: Lioness has also had some publicity over here and I think may be on Paramount Plus, but it rather looked like yet another vehicle to try to eradicate any difference between the sexes in the name of supposed removal of discrimination - or perhaps I am just being cynical, and of course sexist!

I will have to dip into Disney Plus for a month to give Justified: City Primeval a shot.

Lex I thought Lioness was a Spy series about the CIA 's war on terror. You cynical and sexist?...never...not on GB!!

Gerry

Speaking of the war on terror, I rewatched Eye in The Sky yesterday. Its an excellent thriller that also captures some of the ethical and political decisions involved, and of course the buck-passing and 'bum' covering.
It's also Alan Rickman's last film I believe, and he and Helen Mirren are reason enough to watch.

Thanks flotsam...I will check it out. Sounds really good. I love Helen Mirren...one of the all time greats.

Gerry

I echo the recommendation for Eye in The Sky which we saw a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed.

Thanks lex I trust your judgement too!

Gerry

I'm watching Season 2 of Wheel of Time. I think the show is getting better. Looking forward to Season 3.

I'm trying to come up with a list of shows to watch while my mother is here.

I'm watching Wheel of Time too and surprisingly I'm liking it. I was not a fan of the books so this is a surprise for me. I emjoyed the new season of Virgin River on Netflix too.

I gave up on the WOT books after Robert Jordan died -- not a Brandon Sanderson fan and I was getting awfully tired of the series since Jordan milked it for all it was worth, sacrificing story for volume. Hopefully the series will continue being good and will be able to tell the whole story.


EDIT: We're watching Lupin. I'd seen the first two seasons already but it's enough fun to watch again. We're about to start the third season.

If you liked the previuos Equalizer film you will enjoy Equalizer 3. The final season of Billions was also excellent.
