Sherwood was excellent. For a bit of a change, I'm hopping over to Amazon/Freevee, for " Masters Of Science Fiction s1". It's a series of 6 tales written by some quite well-known people; Robert Sheckley, Robert A. Heinlein, Harlan Ellison... It's knocking on a bit now, it was made in 2007, but hopefully the strength of the stories will see it through. Each episode is introduced by Stephen Hawking You can read about it here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_of_Science_Fiction and see how many famous actors are in the stories too. |

We're watching Dear Child, a German mystery with a touch of Dark about it. An injured woman and a girl are found and the hospital and police try to piece together the story from the young girl's testament - who seems to be autistic.

I've just watched the first episode of KAOS. It's absolutely demented, and excellent, with great use of music too, plus a stellar cast. What's not to love?

Great news on Silo, Hugh Howey's books are easily up to it and... don't you want to know what happens now that Juliette has gone outside? As for Dark Matter, is Blake Crouch still involved? If so, excellent news. |

It's getting curioser and curioser, and more complex by the episode. |

We watched that a few months ago here and thought it was excellent. It certainly keeps yoiu guessing!

Not bad, but at least 2/3 episodes too long. Took forever to come to conclusions that were fairly easy to work out. But at least it killed a couple of evenings. |

It's more than " promising". e1 sets the scene pretty well, and I can see why some critics are drawing parallels with True Detective, especially the last season, which was very good. There's some spooky shit happening, but is it just superstition, or..? |

We thoroughly enjoyed both seasons of Dark Winds here at Reality Ranch... and look forward to season 3.

I'm really enjoying Severance (weird dystopian future for employees of Lumon, a giant all-controlling corporation); George Gently (never watched it before); and I'm rewatching Lost (brilliant picture quality on Netflix, never seen it look this good before) and The Expanse (simply one of the best ever).
Dear Child was good entertainment until the end.
I've given up on Sunny (too weird even for me); Outer Range S2 (goodness knows where it's going and I've run out of patience).

Jeanette and I quite enjoyed, George Gently. Mind you, she'd always fancied Martin Shaw.  I'm tossing up whether or not to re-watch "Fringe" at the moment. |

The Fall of the House of Usher - Netflix Edgar Allan Poe 21st century update I watched that. As a Poe fan, let me say it was not made for "traditional" Poe fans.  It was a decent enough slice of horror/gore though, and knowing the story did, I suppose, induce the odd smile, or even a chuckle, here and there. |

I've watched four eps now - wasn't expecting it to be quite as gritty as it is; some of it is quite gruelling to watch. Very well made though, good production values. |
