If anyone watches this can they share an opinion?
I've read the book and thought it good, plus a Hans Zimmer score is no bad thing. A limited series of 6 (with a definite ending) is something I might be able to cope with!

EDIT: Cancel that, just had a peek at the first episode - I didn't get past 10 minutes.
One word review . . . grotesque!

Aaaaaaaargh! That's a FANTASTIC novel. I am going to have to sell my soul, there's no way I can miss that and Silo and Foundation. |

The GonePretty good Ireland/New Zealand joint production and set in beautiful NZ. "Pretty good" - I'm with that. Not amazing but the story keeps me watching. The scenery reminds me of my one and only visit to the island some 30 years ago for work. Whilst on a recce there I was given a Ford Falcon Futura V6 to get about in. I remember stopping in the middle of one of the deserted highways, putting it into sport mode and putting my foot on the accelerator as hard as possible. Now that was fun! |

When I was in Auckland I remember taking a trip to a Maori settlement. That was something I've never forgotten, together with the fantastic landscape. It was more like 50 years ago for me.

You've just reminded me that I made a similar visit Martin. I had completely forgotten!

I still have a tiny Maori wood carving, made into a keyring, that I've kept all these years.

I still have a tiny Maori wood carving, made into a keyring, that I've kept all these years. As the series develops you see more and more Maori culture which has been interesting. One more ep to go. I have an inkling who the killer is but don't know what the motive could be ... I wonder if I will go back to NZ one more time. It's tempting as mum has always wanted to go. |

My sister-in-law lives in Pukekohe, Auckland, and I do intend visiting her one day.

I wonder if I will go back to NZ one more time. . . . I often wonder that, only been once and planned out a 3 week trip of both islands . . . it took me 4 months to do it and I very nearly stayed!

I'd love to hear about that trip some time Tim - I only visited the North island but it left quite an impression on me. |

What was the opinion with Constellation? No-one seems to have finished it?
I watched E1 last night, having fully sold my soul to the dark side by subscribing to Apple TV+. I've had three showers since.
Waiting for Dark Matter so using up time with other streams. Also wanting Silo S2 and Foundation S3.
