Reading reviews on Constellation people are calling it creepy and chilling.

Watching E2, it is creepy. Not sure whether it wants to be scientific or just scary.

Wow. I'd watch it right now if I could. I'll look around but will try something creepy as a warm up.
There was a show called Fortitude. I've always wondered if it ended well. Never got to finish it.

I found Constellation quite interesting, ...until it wasn't. No spoilers, but I took a break to watch something else and discovered that there was absolutely nothing to draw me back to it.

My sister-in-law lives in Pukekohe, Auckland, and I do intend visiting her one day. Finished The Gone last night - my suspicions were correct but the story isn't over! |

Tehran, series 2
With what is currently going on around there I just want the secret services and the police on both sides to kill each other
Leave both countries for the normal everyday people who just want to get on with their lives
No one is shown to be any good here. You wouldn't want any of the characters anywhere near you

I think I can see why some of you lost patience with Constellation. The story seems to be labouring the point that the CAL is causing time/space issues for those exposed to it. Is it going to move on or are we stuck with ever more episodes depicting confusion while the characters are taking an awfully long time to cotton onto it?

Have you tried "For All Mankind," MartinT? It's worth a look if not. |

By the way, I couldn't find Beacon 23 on it. I think it might be coming to Paramount? Beacon 23 Beacon 23 follows Aster and Halan, two people whose fates become entangled after they find themselves trapped together at the end of the known universe. Aster mysteriously finds her way to a lonely beacon keeper, on his lighthouse in the darkest recesses of space. A tense battle of wills unfolds as Halan begins to question whether Aster is friend or foe as her ability to disguise her agenda and motives could make her a formidable opponent. A.J. Simmons and Barbara Hershey make appearances. The music is provided by the usually excellent Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon). It might be half way decent at least as it's currently on season 2. 3rd season not confirmed yet. This might be good news... It'll probably go to Paramount+, but it might turn up on Channel 5 at a later date. I've just put it on my watch list. |

This sounds interesting...
"Michelle Yeoh has been cast in the ‘BLADE RUNNER 2099’ series. She will play Olwen, a replicant near the end of her life."

It's described as a "limited series" I believe, which means just the one series and it's done. Mind you, they've been talking about it for years and it's no nearer production as far as I know. |

I've just watched Dark Matter E1. Yep, it's pretty good and follows the book, so far at least.
I do rather like Jennifer Connelly, too.
EDIT: if you like Blake Crouch, the series Wayward Pines is excellent, equally mysterious and probably available free from several services ok, it's on Prime so therefore you have to pay extra, like everything decent on there.

I'm guessing that there are very few, if any, Neil Gaiman fans here, but just in case e1 of " Dead Boy Detectives" was quite fun. The the series is set in the same continuity as The Sandman, so Kirby Howell-Baptiste reprises her role as Death in the series. Others may follow. Dead Boy Detectives, also features one of my favourite female fantasy fancies from the past (mostly because she reminds me of an "ex" from my disreputable past) , Ruth Connell, a.k.a. " Rowena" from Supernatural, playing " Night Nurse," who is a trans-dimensional being who works in Death's Lost & Found Department.  |

The Responder is a British police drama television series set in Liverpool, written by former Merseyside Police officer Tony Schumacher
Watching series 2 currently
Grim, grinding. If it can go wrong it will, even when it goes right there is a catch
All of the characters flawed in one or more areas
Recommendation ?
Maybe

For All Mankind: I'm enjoying it, it's a pretty decent alternative history sewing in real and imaginary events together very cleverly.
