Star Trek: Picard
Season 1: Better than most of the modern Star Trek series & movies. 8/10Season 2: What the **** happened here? This is overflowing with romantic schmaltz, unnecessary dream sequences, and stupid conversations. Picard comes across as a feeble old moron. 5/10
Season 3: It's an improvement, but the new character (Jack Crusher) and the actor are annoying. 7/10

I preferred the And Then There Were None adaptation, but this was decently done as well

Started watching Twisted Metal yesterday. I'm not sure how I haven't gotten to this yet. It's a lot of fun

Not actually a cliffhanger (the ending is quite definite), but it did leave a lot of people scratching their heads.
Also really enjoyed the show. Sopranos and OZ, to my mind, are what got the ball rolling on proper prestige adult TV.
Started watching Monarch on the weekend having not gotten to it for weeks now mostly because my wife wasn’t infested.
We tried the first episode and she actually said let’s watch another one which was surprising.
So we are a few episodes deeper and while the content is nothing new really it’s bonded together in a very engaging manner that keeps you wanting to watch more which is ultimately what good TV is about.
Also started Criminal Record as we generally enjoy British shows more but the first episode was a surprisingly slow burn and Monarch kind of took over so we haven’t been back yet.
Expected a Hi/Jack vibe from it at first, but it actually reminds me more of The Wire in many ways.

For All Mankind
Season 1: Surprisingly good. 8/10Season 2: Bloody American blowhards. No likeable characters. Still a good watch. 7/10
Season 3: To Mars! Why do 90% of the characters either have to be know-it-all wise arses or hard/jock types? Great story though. 7.5/10
Season 4: This story has now also gone down the toilet. Absolutely zero likeable characters. 5/10

Yeah, I am struggling with Season 4 now. The magic seems gone.
They could have done more with Margo and her "ex", and how she committed "treason".
The whole thing about Helios and Dev taking over again is just silly.
And then Kelly going to Mars which I can only assume that she or her dad Ed will die .
...its just flat!!

Danish LanguageSeason 1: This story is all over the show and doesn't seem to have direction. Most episodes feel like they have been filled with fluff to make up the 58 minutes. Ridiculous dance scenes come to mind. 6/10
