Be Excellent To Each Other

Paradise on Disney+ is outstanding. Don’t read anything about it or watch a trailer. Just go….

Resident Alien, starring everybody's favourite Wash off of Firefly, is being nicely enjoyable on Netflix.

Slightly reminiscent of Solar Opposites, Invader Zim and... Something I've forgotten since Zim popped to mind... But live action.

Not what I'm thinking (or reminded) of. Nor is American Dad. I'm baffled at this point.

Big fan of Resident Alien. It might have gone on a bit long, but it's still entertaining.

Zero Day. Unfortunately both unbelievable from a Deus ex machina perspective and laughably unimaginative through the lens of Actual America.

We are enjoying this one a lot. We've only got one more episode to go, eps 6 and 7 were very tense, very well done.

Really nothing there to suggest there'll be another musical episode. But still 10/10 on the anticipation scale, ta.

They’ve said no musical, but something equally out there. I’m guessing that’s referring to the sci-fi tv show ep

The thumbnail for Tracker, on Disney+, looks like a low budget Reacher (muscular, handsome man standing in a slightly flexing pose with the name in CAPITAL LETTERS behind them).

It's actually quite entertaining though in a nice simple kind of way. At first I thought it reminded me a little of early Supernatural (travelling round America, getting into a bit of fisticuffs - but it's OK cos the main character is tough - solving the problem of the week and then moving on) just without the, um, supernatural elements. Then I remembered the TV show Renegade, which was on Sky One in the mid-ish 90s. It's really like that, and I loved Renegade, it was simple but fun. I'm sure there are countless other similar TV shows about the wandering bloke solving crimes, charming the ladies, getting into the odd scrape with the law but always saving the day and then moving on, but right now I can't think of them.

The Residence is like Knives Out but about the white house and spread over a dozen episodes.

Good fun.

There’s only eight. We’ve done four so far and it’s great fun.

I like Kevin Bacon, and the splash trailer at the top of the Amazon Firestick homepage made The Bondsman look interesting.

It's not bad but after the first 2 episodes I'm wondering if there's much to see here. It felt like the extended trailer at the end of Ep1 was the show blowing its load too early and saying "Coming up on this season of The Bondsman - here's all the good bits".

The monster design is quite good, creepy faces and all, and the special effects are also quite good for a TV show. But i have a feeling that a lot of the climactic fights will be the main character getting thrown around and pounded only to narrowly scrape a win with a lucky shot or some other fortuitous intervention.

Season 2 of The Last Of Us started really well.

I expect they’ll need to split the game over two seasons to do it justice.

I watched all of Ep 1 but managed to fall asleep partway during eps 2, 3 and also ep 4.

Starting to watch TV shows after 10pm is not a great move for me and that also means it isn't a fair assessment of the show, but it does demonstrate that I'm not exactly hooked by this and it's not gripping TV.

After mainlining 16 seasons of Ink Master, we've decided to watch some actual TV shows. Currently going through these two.

Not Dead Yet - comedy thing where a woman is working at a newspaper, writing obituaries but she sees the ghosts of the people she's writing about. It's all very nice and harmless. The security lady from Superstore is in it and she's had a serious glow up.

Good Cop/Bad Cop - comedy cop show where a brother and sister team investigate crimes in some quiet town somewhere. He's full on Sheldon Cooper ASD and she's super nice. It's pretty enjoyable.

It's distinctly reminiscent of Justified x That Other Thing From 20 Years Ago, but we enjoyed it.

We watched ep1 of St Denis Medical and it looks like it could be a decent show, funny and a bit scrubs-y but less wacky. The actresses that played the mom mum from The Goldbergs as well as Sandra from Superstore are in it too.



(I always thought she looked quite nice when not in the daggy store outfit)

The Andor season 2 pitch must have been something like "rebel moon? Hold my beer!"

yeah true, they definitely worked hard to dress her down in that show.
