To see what I rate a series check out my ratings on IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/user/ur19086692/ratings
(Caveat: Alas on IMDB it merges all rated films along with TV shows together so you'll have to sift through to find just my TV shows but you can filter by name or ratings).

(Cavaet could be more if a new series is made after I watched so will need to continue - think Strike Back is a case in point, have heard these another series since I thought I finished the show)

STRIKE BACK (2010–2015) – S5 E10

Yeah 2 new series I think since that finished with a third starting soon on Sky. Highly enjoyable show with implausible twists and turns

Watched ep. 1 of The Outsider last night. HBO/Sky Atlantic adaptation of a Stephen King story. Has anyone seen more episodes or is familiar with the source material and can give a not too spoilerish spoiler?

Basically I'm concerned it's going to start 'normal' then take a paranormal twist. I don't mind paranormal (loved the X files) but only when it's in the premise. When something that starts rooted in normality but then veers that way, it feels like a bit of a cop-out. Fargo series 2 for example.

Anyone else watching PIcard? Very Blade Runner plot (rogue synthetics) but with 50+ years of Star Trek lore to back it up.

Idea behind it comes from Brent Spiner (Data) and it will include Jeri Ryan (7 of 9) somewhere along the line.

I am, shockingly, going to recommend a new ITV sitcom.....

Kate and Koji.

Written by Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton which is a good sign and despite almost being corny it is very, very funny. Proper old school sitcom but with added modern issues (Kate is an old bag running a cafe and Koji is an asylum seeking doctor who sets up an unnoficial practice in her cafe).

Just watch it and laugh.
