I haven't read the books, so can't comment on the faithfulness to the original material. Have to assume that, as an Executive Producer, Michael Connelly was happy with the results? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyJ Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) During the last few months I've watched and enjoyed: "The Last Kingdom" (liked "Vikings" more, partly because of the nudity and sexuality, partly because the plot device of the hero's relationship with Alfred on "Kingdom" gets repetitive although they kept it interesting); "Halt and Catch Fire" (Advise skipping the final season - some excruciatingly awful episodes with every actor having their "moment); "Official Secrets". Thank you to those who recommended them. Edited May 14, 2022 by JimmyJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw that American Greed James.McGill, it's a parody of those "hard-hitting" investigative reporting shows, treats the story as if Saul was a real-life character, pretty funny. The Kettlemans are in there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was watching 'Discovery' till this latest season started and lost interest. Did catch the episodes of recent Pike in Discovery and downloaded the new version, but didn't get around to watching yet. Guess if it's a 5 yr run, we know how that character will end, as was shown in Discovery, unless they mystically change the timeline ... yet again ???? I seem to recall something about Pike dying in a state of disgrace in "ST: Into Darkness," am I wrong? I was trying to recall while watching this first episode, where he can see his own death. Think I'll pass on this one. I'm with you on Discovery, seems to be more centered on the inter-relationships of the crew members than sci-fi.

I think you're mixing up Admiral Pike, who gets bumped off at the big meeting by Khan, with Admiral Marcus, who wanted to start a war, and who Khan kills at the end.

I take recommendations here under advisement only, then do my own research. Enjoyed quite a few gems. Look, I've watched and enjoyed hundreds (~500?) of David E. Kelly's courtroom/legal dramas over the years. Boston Legal, Ally McBeal, LA Law, The Practice, and other shows of his like Picket Fences. That I don't like one isn't all that shocking? BTW, it was cool to see LisaGay Hamilton, from The Practice, in The Lincoln Lawyer as Judge Mary Holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) If you missed Heartstoppers you missed something great. Its not only for young adult and gay viewers. Its G rated. The two leads are now instant international stars.. Good news now is there will be a second season where some of the minor characters in season one will be developed. Heartstopper heart warming.

delgarcon Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 "Don't Look Up" is a great political satire which I'm sure that most of us can relate to. It's funny and at the same time sad, probably because it's mostly believable. One of last year's best movies, imo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
