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.
Sparkidemus makes an appearance for Good Friday.
After watching a few episodes of The Chosen, Sparky decided that the pharisees were dicks, but Nicodemus seemed like a decent guy.
Actor Richard Chamberlain just passed away at 90 years old.
Chamberlain was trying to be an American Peter O’Toole. He was a little much. Chamberlain started out as the lead character in a medical drama, Dr. Kildare, in 1961, then bounced around doing TV movies and being a guest star on other TV shows. He kind of settled on mini-series.
He seemed kind of cheesy, so I knew what he was in, but don’t recall ever watching any of it.
Falling Skies is okay. Not great science fiction, but good. The special effects are convincing, but there isn’t much of it. Most of the action takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth. I haven’t watch much of The Walking Dead, but it’s along that line. The good guys are fighting the monsters in addition to a few bad guys. The best thing about it is the series runs to completion, wrapping up the story.
