"Reacher" Season 2 finale was poor. They really overplayed their hand with this one. High hopes for a season 3 however.

"Bosch: Legacy" Season 1 finale was similarly weak. No spoilers, but CSI: Las Vegas did it better. Now onto Season 2... and it's very good so far.

The problem with Reacher is that the lead can't act for toffee and (although the story fits with the books) they brought in a supporting cast who acted him off the screen.

The problem with Bosch: Legacy season 1 was Covid - it was written and shot during serious restrictions. However, Bosch as a whole, including Legacy, is absolutely brilliant. Probably the best single US series since The West Wing.

BTW, I know it's a left-fielder because of the 80s (70s?) "original" but the Battlestar Galactica reboot was very good, and worth hunting down on the streamers or even buying.

I was doing some boring stuff yesterday and had this on in the background.

How large investigations start from a small seed.

Does seem leveraging technology would increase the arrests.

One was a drug dealer driving a stolen car. ANPR would have helped.

Another was two armed robbers noticed by a security guard - tagging and noticing patterns around banks would make sense.

Burglar driving a stolen car.

Yep

Its got Lexa Doig and Michael Shanks (in one episode so far)

I suspect it will lose momentum, Stargate did eventually. Dr Who did. Lexx went off the nutty board straight into the sharks.

As a fine example of losing momentum, sense, story, continuity, or anything else, Andromeda has just wrapped from S4 E22 to S5 E1 on Leg End.

apologies I have been remiss

a few straight to prime.

Unfinished business - failed salesmen get a contract and laid, very mediocre.

The Escorts - Mr cherry pie fornicator drives escorts around in a volvo with Daily Mail 'hilarious' consequences. - not terrible.

Black Lotus - Frank Grillo (yes he is as small as Tom Cruise) versus an unknown - rivulets of blood and poorly placed blades, some good fight scenes done in Amsterdam one of my favourite cities watching it and shouting - been there!

See for me - Blind ex skier goes house sitting. Got distracted so doesn't make you think its good. Will finish and do a review.

Victorian Farm & Edwardian Farm - living history - Pretty good! Soo much I didn't know changed in both periods.

currently on some dark ages series will report back.

[I just need to test it]

"Kin" on BBC I-player.

The adventures of flawed family of drug dealers - I thought it sounded awful, but actually it was gripping.

The good morning killer basically a Bosch Prequel, Titus Weliver doing Bosh, needs a bit more jazz.

Herd - LGBTQ do Zombies. Poorer government communication and more confusion which seems right.

Barbie - Feminists blame the patriarchy.

Cold courage - investigates the idea that right-wing politics are being fixed and all the reasonable candidates are complete out and out scumbags. reasonably interesting and good acting, the reality is that it wasn't really believable SYL doesn't have that depth.

Herd - LGBTQ do Zombies. Poorer government communication and more confusion which seems right.

Barbie - Feminists blame the patriarchy.

Cold courage - investigates the idea that right-wing politics are being fixed across Europe and all the reasonable candidates are complete out and out scumbags. reasonably interesting and good acting, the reality is that it wasn't really believable SYL doesn't have that depth.

Hint for the lefty conspiracy theorist just make the NHS, Housing, Policing and waterworks etc run well and the opposition will never get in.

Never to late - a autumnal love tale from a nursing home. pretty ok. Thankfully Dennis Waterman didn't sing the theme tune solo!
