Incredibly, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is on it’s third season and it’s still excellent. Many science fiction shows start out bad. Some, like Star Trek: Picard, are bad for two seasons, then have a good season. Some, start strong, but fizzle out, like The Mandalorian or Stranger Things. The Orville was good for all three seasons, but it wasn’t part of a franchise. That’s easier because there isn’t franchise lore that has to be respected.
Sophie Turner takes on Lara Croft for upcoming ‘Tomb Raider’ TV show
It should not be this difficult to tell a good Lara Croft story. It’s just a girl version of Indiana Jones. Replace the wit with sexy, and you win.
After three episodes, I posted that The Murderbot TV show is a disappointing 6/10. The rest of the season has redeemed the show. Murderbot had a slow start, but turned into a great show.
The best thing about Katla is that it’s from Iceland. Everything about it is a little different from other TV shows.
Seeing an article about the TV show, Tires, I noticed that Shane Gillis looks like my doctor. The article said that season 2 is much better than season 1, and the show sounded like it was worth a try.
The new Murderbot TV series on Apple TV is disappointing. Nothing was changed to appeal to “Modern Audiences”, and after three episodes, it sticks pretty close to the books by Martha Wells. Murderbot suffers from poor casting and a lack of understanding of the source material.
The Youtube algorithm suggested this video, and it’s fascinating.
I’m out of anything new to watch, so I went to a Korean TV series I’ve been sitting on for a while.
It’s your standard zombie outbreak centered on the situation at the high school, but man, Koreans go hard. When the zombie horde finally breaks into a classroom, they go charging in like a bunch of hornets. Some keep going, and crash through the window and plummet to the ground.
It’s different. But it’s dubbed in English, so not too different.
