TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[Pathetic Shark]

Any Trek fans here? Netflix had the first series of Star Trek Discovery last year which is set about 15 years before the original Kirk Trek. It is like the film re-boots in terms of effects and ideas and was pretty good. The second series has just begun and the first two episodes have been damn good.

Plus all the other series are on there which at 45 minutes long are perfect time for my exercise session with an iPad in front to watch whilst pedalling/rowing/running.

I thought the first series of the Netflix version was excellent. I'm less taken with the 2nd series. I find the lead role, the female raised by Vulcans, so stiff it grates. She needs a character around her that is a bit looser. The new captain will probably do that role over time but that is still to evolve. I do love Star Trek though so I will keep with it.

Voyager was OK but the ending was absolutely appalling. I have been re-watching the original Trek which is over 50 years old now but still entertaining enough.

And forget Seven, I'll raise you Jadzia Dax from DS9.

Nope, she's only a warp 6.

Yup, I like a bit of Trek. Done Voyager twice through and Next Gen. Still have quite a few Enteprise episodes to get through. First series of Discovery was decent and haven’t started the second series. Also seen on interweb that there’s a Picard series coming up....

DS9 was the most consistently excellent Star Trek. The Dominion story line was superb.

 

[Pathetic Shark]

I can go with that. Best individual episode of DS9 would be the one where they go back to the Kirk days and the Tribbles. Best ever episode of all Treks has to be "The Inner Light" where Picard lives his whole life on a planet in 30 minutes. Truly epic acting and the only episode ever submitted by a fan.

Anyway enough Trek talk. I can see a re-visit to 24 and some binge watching coming on.

As a fan of the Sons Of Anarchy, started watching the Mayans. Two episodes in and not sure yet, I'll give it a chance but it just didn't catch me like the first episode of Sons did....

I saw the 3rd episode last night. That stepped it up a gear. I'm not going to do an episode by episode running commentary but hopefully this means, for me anyway, it is picking up.

The Punisher on Netflix....pretty damn good.

 

[Old Skier]

Das Boot is back. Interesting to see if it lives up to the first one.

Looking forward to Endeavour starting again this Sunday. Always brilliantly written and most enjoyable to watch.

Modern Family is back and Fridays episode, just watched it today, was the program at its best. I love Jay, he gets some great lines and his little looks and expressions are wonderful.

Watching reruns of Wheeler Dealers.

Just stumbled on "Accused " an old BBC series from 2010-11-15 a court room drama by Jimmy McGovern, worth a watch.

Tomorrow night there is a return of Shetland. What started off as a regular detective series was elevated 2 series ago. Now it is a really high quality programme and if you haven't seen it before it is well worth checking out. If you can revisit earlier episodes, start at series 3.
