No Offence is excellent and the new series has already shown it hasn't lost it's way at all, I am loving it so far.

Tried. Desperately wanted to love it Gave up as a naff After two episodes I'm hooked. ST: Discovery is much darker than previous series with a main character who is very flawed and none of the twee naffness of the Jean-Luc Picard era. The production values are high, too.

SafeWe have just finished watching this Netflix original series, starring Michael C. Hall, the lead in Dexter and Amanda Abbington from Mr. Selfridge. I am guessing it is a crime based mistery thriller. The story and acting are both excellent and well worth a watch.

After two episodes I'm hooked. Sorry to quote myself, but ST: Discovery is like no other Star Trek I've ever seen. The captain, Lorca, is a bit of a nutter hell bent on destroying the Klingons using new biological technology. He keeps incredibly dangerous animals as pets. The first officer holds a grudge against our principal character for killing his captain. Our principal has a man's name and is a convict, accused of mutiny and intercepted on her way to life imprisonment by Lorca. The security officer, in contrast, seems quite a grounded individual. And our principal's roomie is a proto-captain with special needs who talks too much. She's a redhead, too. A young Captain Janeway? They also have new things like 'Black Alert'! And far more questions than answers. This is how ST should always have been!

Duh. I meant Star Trek with Scott Bakula. Don't know Discovery Funny. I think Enterprise is the best ever "old" Star Trek series. It even has Russell Watson singing the theme.

If you haven't seen Discovery, you can't know what I'm talking about. It's nothing like Enterprise.

Anybody else catch The Circle? Interesting exercise in social media interplay, complete with Catfish and all the other shenanigans that goes on by some.. Was cringeworthy a lot of the time.. youth in action
Not a drama as such, but quite dramatic at the end..
And no, I did not watch it all...

Mike, I would judge it to be soooo NOT you Know nothing about it, haven't seen it, but now, for some reason, I really want to. Find it on All4 catch-up It's good to keep abreast of the current generation / try to relate to them. The ending was rather OMFG! I never watched big brother other than to clock what it was about. Like watching paint dry!!! The circle on the otherhand was fast paced, intense and even if you didn't like the individuals or the way they speak, the fact that we all use social media and have come across trolls, catfish, liars/exagerators, spoiling for a fighters, sociopaths etc, but in real life you only see one side. The side they want you to see and can hide behind.. They've learned a lot, come a long way in making it interesting for TV I think and relevant to anyone who interacts online. Here you witness the real them and what the others see through the limits of being online only, and how they experience that and react to it and make deductions. We are still very much in our baby steps phase with the internet..

BBC article about the experience of the winner We watched the follow up programme too - my daughters 24 and 21 are quite interested in this sort of thing - one uses Instagram to promote her Illustration business. It's interesting how that differs / has similarities to chat fora like this one - who are the Catfish here I wonder? link

Star Trek: Discovery is an absolute blast. I've just seen E14 and the story arc is superbly well done. I can't give too much away but the lack of stability of characters reflects much more modern series, there is no 'comfort' of a set hierarchy of personnel on a set ship as in ST series of old. I can only imagine that the cast are loving it, especially Michelle Yeoh.
Great stories, Great cast, Great effects, Great fun.
