Star Trek: Lower Decks. For a 90s-era Star Trek fan like me it is like a waterfall of easter eggs that also happens to have depth, in a way that the first two Abrams movies especially lacked.

On recommendation by @IceBone I gave this a chance, despite being neither a hardcore Trekkie nor a fan of animation or comedy shows. Nevertheless, I was hooked about 1.5 episodes in and needed about four weeks to watch all four existing seasons. While also spending many evenings reading a book.

It's not only the many, many references to earlier Star Trek, often in form of fourth-wall-breaking, but the look and feel in general. The really used the freedom given by animation. It's generally well-drawn, the ships look sleek, the planets creative and space just gorgeous. The fast-paced action scenes are wonderful. And they use the opportunity to paint some missing pictures in terms of world-building that the live-action films and TV shows never get around to.

Also, Mariner is one of my favourite Star Trek characters ever. Certainly the most relatable (I should probably see a psychologist :D ).

The one thing that irked me a bit also proves how far the show surpassed the initial impression of "affectionate Star Trek parody": I'm mildly annoyed by convention-induced plotholes - mostly "the main characters do everything", as if the ship didn't have more personnel than the four focus ensigns and five senior officers.

I can't wait for season 5.

I wish they had spent more time on Mariner's backstory instead of just basically infodropping it in form of her talking about her trauma to a Klingon for three minutes, and that's all it needed to finally overcome it. I realize that's probably the joke, but there's so much more potential. Perhaps in the next season.

They have been pretty good with never fully overcoming Mariner's issues all at once, so I expect they'll continue to address things throughout the series.

Ok, going to give this a chance too. :)
 
In 1999/2000 the UK Post Office rolled out a new IT system, which led to subpostmasters experiencing accounting shortfalls that they could not explain. Over 700 were wrongfully prosecuted for crimes such as theft and false accounting.

Great production, cast and reviews.

We've been watching Lourdermilk. Not something I'd normally pick to watch, but my girlfriend started it one night, and we're just about done with Season 2.

It turns out I've seen a couple of clips from the show posted to imgur and reddit, but didn't know where they came from.
 
I really really really missed @midnight, and I'm glad to see that so much of the charm was retained in the new @fter midnight, despite the new host (who I'm also a big fan of). I think the first episode was a pretty strong start and was a lot of fun.

Took me 21 days. Some episodes were utterly cringeworthy (peanut hamper marries a bird...) others were really good. = Overall I liked it. - Granted most references probably flew way over my head, but still. Also liked the changing dynamics with the promotions, and the very long arc of Mariner. The female Vulcan LT was also a good addition, I enjoyed her character.
 
The Floor. It's trivia game show meets the board game, Risk. Hosted by Rob Lowe. It's head-to-head timed trivia duels to capture territory.

Some (most) of the things people are being quizzed on are cringe-level easy. The twist of the show is that, while you bring a topic of expertise to the show that you defend, when you steal someone's space, you then absorb, and subsequently have to defend, your opponent's expertise topic. You might come to the show with an expertise in horror movies, but then have to later defend your spot as a exotic bird expert.

It's addicting as someone with a passing interest in miscellany trivia, but it's so excruciating when someone claims to be an expert on "tools" and calles nails "screws", or who thinks Leona Helmsley is a fictional character.

Oh yeah, that one's special. I've rewatched almost all the episodes but have never put that on since the first watch.

I'll have to watch Trigger Point.

True Detective Night country is 6 episodes so fairly quick watch. Jodie Foster has been Jodie Foster. Kali Reis who plays opposite has been very good. The pace has been brisk, the characters and setting familiar, the events sufficiently creepy to peak curiosity. I also am interested to understand the connections to the first season
 
Just watched the fifth season of Fargo, basicly in one go. - Was awesome. Fecking A. I Want more of this. - 10/10

Funny thing is, after the end of episode 7 in my eagerness to move on I accidentally clicked on episode 9 instead of 8, and naturally I got a bit confused whilst watching, but secretly I admired the director(s) for letting important deaths or story changes happen offscreen. :ROFLMAO: - I have to admit that it took me more than half of episode 9 until I finally hit pause with a "something is really wrong here" tought, and only then I grasped my mistake. :blink::ROFLMAO:
 
Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows were I might be able to find a 720p version of James May's Top Toys.
The only version I've been able to find thus far is a dailymotion upload with a cromulent resolution of 340p

As a fan of the games, I think they did an excellent job paying homage to them. Everything makes you feel like you are watching cutscenes from the game.

The story is solid and engaging, with a nice cliffhanger to build the second season on. I think even non fans will find this show entertaining.

I'm halfway through the season (watched episode 1 a few days ago, and 2-4 last night), and I never played any of the games.

Works very well on its own, but I keep wondering how much better it would be if I had played the games.
