I had a free day today so i watched all 8 episodes of ahsoka, I was hoping this would be good but found it really disappointing.
I really liked the animated series clone wars and rebels but this was pale in comparison. Bad acting, dialog and poor choreography to name a few things i didnt like. In the animated series ahsoka is an amazing fighter, in this she was terrible.
Overall ive liked most of what Filoni and favreau have done but the recent stuff just isnt as good. Maybe they're running out of ideas.

From is an odd one, solid premise and some aspects are well executed, but sadly I've got a feeling they are basically just making it up as they go along and some bits are overplayed or just don't work as well as they maybe sounded on paper. Still I'll be watching season 3.

Watching another Swedish noir called Yana: Marked for life and it's really dark.
Really impressed with it so I highly recommend it.

Really enjoying Designated Survivor. Only a few episodes in.

I finally got round to watching the last 3 seasons of GoT (yeah I know, bit late or what ). Action really took off, but boy Emile Clark character going from wearing all white to all black in the space of 1/2 an episode wasn't exactly the most subtle way of signalling a massive character shift.

Finished Animal Kingdom on Amazon. Overall it's a very good show, a cross between Point Break and Oceans 11 perhaps, but I'm unsure of the finish. I get how it might work in a film, but in a TV show, spread over many years, it seemed a little odd to me.

Still suffering Prison Break on behalf of my wife and now she's torturing me with The Walking Dead: Darryl Dixon.
Only watched the first episode and I must have face palmed half a dozen times.
I gave up on The Walking Dead after five or six seasons, but she carried on, although I did watch the last half a dozen with her. They didn't convince me that I'd missed anything good.

Yeah, I really enjoyed Supacell. Though I would've wanted 1 more episode but really hope we get another season. Never know with Netflix.
Started watching Sunny on Apple TV. Only the 1 episode so far but quite enjoyed what I saw. Only 35 minutes an episode as well which I do quite like. When everything is 60 minutes an episode it can be daunting to start.
What we are really looking for is something like The X Files. Really enjoyed watching all of that recently. I do love a good over arching story but TV seems to be missing self contained episodes. Everything is trying to be the next Iliad

Watched 6 hours of The Cops last night and thoughly enjoyed it.
Seems there are quite a few police dramas on the BBC iPlayer so will be making my way through all of them.

Got round to watching Ghosts of Beiruit which may have been recommended on here. Superb 4-parter and if you like your spy stuff, you can't go wrong.
I saw 2 episodes of Ripley last night. Rather good so far.
Based on the 1999 film 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'.
Edit: I've now seen all 8 episodes, and I thought it was very good indeed. I actually enjoyed it more as the story unfolded/progressed further.

Can't actually find a thread on this but as a filler after having a rerun through Stranger Things, we've been watching Star Trek Prodigy.
Have to actually say of all the recent ST iterations it's actually the most enjoyable. Decent story line, decent characters, a bit of humour, little to no "woke" or minority agendas, just good old fashioned entertainment. Yes it's animation and apparently ditched it so was picked up by Nickleodean and Netflix but even though it's billed as a kids' show, actually suitable for everyone.

We're watching this too, about 4 or 5 episodes in so far and I'm enjoying it, but I love sci-fi time travel stuff like this. I read the book while on holiday so i know roughly how it goes but it's always good to get a reminder about a few things I've forgot!
I believe there're a few changes from the book too (nothing too major I don't think) but my memory sucks and it was about 4 years since I read the book so most of it seems new anyway!
