My son has been watching the first series of the X Files and is hooked on it - he now wants to watch them all!
I've been watching some of them and they mostly stand up very well indeed.

I bought the whole thing on DVD ages ago, and have just bought and watched the reboot (s10 & s11) on Blu-ray. s5e5 "The Post-Modern Prometheus" is one of my all-time favourites, but it's run very close by s10e3 "Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster" runs it close.

Dark Matter was fun, not to be taken seriously but it had its moments... The general "feel" reminds me of Firefly with bigger guns. It's nice to see a couple of familiar faces too; Torri Higginson, who was Dr. Weir in Stargate Atlantis is, apparently a recurring guest, and Zoie Palmer, who played Dr. Lauren Lewis in Lost Girl. Anthony Lemke (Three) also played a recurring character in Lost Girl. I've come to the conclusion that Canadian Sci Fi/ Fantasty TV is quite incestuous. I've just spotted that e4 (I don't know about any of the others) is directed by Amanda Tapping, "Samantha Carter" in Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis and "Dr. Helen Magnus" in Sanctuary. [edit] It gets better. David Hewlett a.k.a. Dr. Rodney McKay (what is it about actors who play doctors) from Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe has turned up in e5.

I've just watched e1 of Amazon's "The Boys" which is a jet-black comedy/drama that gives a somewhat different view of superheroes than we're used to. The elite "Seven" have a huge management company and argue about who's getting how many points from the latest in the movie franchises.
The swearing is industrial-strength, it's quite violent in places, and Karl Urban (as Billy Butcher) has one of those incredibly bad "Perhaps he's supposed to be Australian?" accents that Americans do so well. It's a shame he's actually a New Zealander. I did not recognise Simon Pegg.
I shall be watching e2.

I watched the first couple of series of Lucifer and it was quite fun. I'm not even sure why I stopped watching and may have to pick it up again.

After the excellent Black Sails (not a phone or tablet in sight) We started on Glitch.
Once you get over the simple biology and physiology issues of something that been dead in the ground for 2-150 years coming back it's okay 🤪 Very nice orderly 'Zombies', well apart from the strangley one.
I said to Marie in my best Dr McCoy (bones) voice "it's worse than that, he's dead Jim, dead Jim, dead Jim, it's worse than that he's dead Jim, dead Jim, dead" 😀
Bigamy by re-awakening is a new one on me. Poor Police guy. Tough choice! Blonde or Brunette?
You've heard of Nutbush city limits? (Tina Turner) - now it's Yoorana town limits it seems.. Much water to go under bridge (just don't go over bridge) and enjoyable so far.
When will the Klingons with Aus accent arrive, I wonder?

Kate looks good in jeans in Glitch, reminds me of another Kate in Lost. Although it was always Juliette for me

Finished Glitch last week, very satisfactory ending I thought. Still waiting for someone to have watched DARK, best thing I’ve seen on Netflix speedysteve ?

Yes, Glitch had to end it properly and they did.
