be the judge by yourself... many times i watch highly rated movies/shows only to be disappointed. try season 1 1st. it has a good storyline and the actors are ok. the cinematography beats many sci-fi movies hands down. you do what you wish... but it is quite good

 

I take reviews into proportionate account. SciFi often gets mediocre reviews as a matter of course but as a fan I usually find it worth watching anyway. I liked Foundation OK despite hating its serious flaws and annoyances. I dream of what it could have been. Highly rated are sometimes the worst, given high ratings because of agreeable politics, or because Brits love Brits. A lot of absolute shredding, though, tends to be on the mark; and I hate wasting time. I may take a look at the first episode. 

for anyone who missed this sci-fi series that came out in 2020 this is a very good show. unfortunately it only ran for 2 seasons and was cancelled

 

Raised by Wolves (2020)

After Earth is torn apart by religious differences and the human race teeters on the edge of extinction, an atheistic android architect sends two of his creations, Mother and Father, to start a peaceful, godless colony on the planet Kepler-22b.

 

damn, this show sucks after ep 1. all episodes are uploaded already... full of cliches and very predictable... terrible

Looked interesting, petered out after a few episodes, gave it up.

 

I've mentioned Silo before:

And Andor is pretty good, best recent effort in the Star Wars genre:

 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9253284/

 

Mandalorian gets a lot of love but didn't do much for me, quickly dropped it.

 

Star Trek: Strange New Wolds was tolerable in the 1st season, 2nd season not worth watching

I dont know if anyone is interested anymore, or even if it has been mentioned .. the penultimate, The Grand Tour, The sand job, aired on Thursday night - just one more and they are retiring.

Yes, I enjoyed season 1 of Silo. I hope season 2 is as good.

 Watched "High: Confessions of an Ibiza Drug Mule" and "Worst Roommate Ever" both on Netflix and while not great, both were pleasant surprises.

This looks good.

Tony Hopkins is always worth a look.

 

The story of Sir Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued over 600 children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.

 

 

 

Saw the new "Mean Girls" last night, a few pretty good laughs but pretty lame.

Might see: "Baghead" today while the wife shops...

A very good movie but a slow start which gets more interesting later on, and the ending is a stunner. Well worth a watch IMO.
