Enjoyed the first episode of Season 6 of Shetland. Sorta sucks that Doug Henshall is leaving at its end but a great show all around.

I've enjoyed the first two episodes of "Sandman," and it reminds me a bit, in tone and atmosphere at least, of the brilliant BBC 2 production of Gormenghast. Sanjeev Bhaskar as Cain and Asim Chaudhry as Abel, in episode two, were great. The "Goodness Gracious Me," connectionis continues with Nina Wadia as "Fate Mother," and Meera Syal as "Erica".
I'm looking forward to more of the same, and to hearing Mark Hamill voicing the chain-smoking janitor, "Mervyn Pumpkinhead". Here's hoping, too. that Stephen Fry as Gilbert a.k.a. Fiddler's Green is another highlight yet-to-come.

TV watching diary cleared..
Time for fun park robots, gone sapient and wanting revenge on a future rather sick world...
Bring on series 4 Westworld.
Perhaps should have retitled it KillerRobotsInOurWorld. We'll see.

Hehe, don't expect it to get any better.. I read a recap of the previous series' before starting a new.. Complicated🙂 They used Lana Del Rey Video games (own instrumental) in episode 2. Episode 3 things got clearer, sort of

Profound sense of relief following the viewing of the last Westworld... got to be a bit of a chore staying with the story line but they managed to end it with some grace and closure.

I watched the first episode of Prime's new "Papergirls," series earlier. It's interesting, and I shall watch episode 2, if only to find out wtf is actually going on.

Watching Sandman. Bit farfetched so far😂
The Umbrella academy, just😂😂
Didn't finish Locke and Key😂😂😂
Perhaps we'll like Papergirls more?
Lots of drama Tennis on Prime to watch too.

I thought Umbrella Academy was so poor I didn't see out the first episode.
Currently enjoying Secret Diary of a Call Girl, with Billie Piper excellent in the role.

There's a new trailer for "The Rings Of Power" if anyone's interested. The series itself starts on Sepember 2nd, and I, for one, am looking forward to it.
And this is the one that was released at ComiCon a month ago...

The right people, or versions of them, were extinguished. Sort of hope going forward. There apparently could be a 5th.. "Westworld' Season 5 Will Be the Final Season of the HBO Series – If It Gets Renewed. Those who watched the “Westworld” Season 4 finale on Sunday evening would be forgiven for thinking it felt like a series finale, but if co-creator and co-showrunner Lisa Joy gets her way, it's merely the beginning of the end."

There was a series that started extremely well, but started to lose its way in complexity by series 3.

I tried watching Kleo last night.
It seems to be all style and no substance, or at least that's my impression from E1.
Has anyone else seen it?

Yay! One of my favourites has returned. Star Trek: The Lower Decks Series 3 has landed on Amazon.
Also on Amazon/FreeVee is "The Following" which stars Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy. I bought all three series on DVD, and Jeanette and I both thoroughly enjoyed them. Shawn Ashmore is also in it, and you may recognise him, or think you do. His twin brother, Aaron, was in Lost Girl (worth watching), Warehouse 13, Murdoch Mysteries, and, of course, Killjoys.
