Started For All Mankind
5 episodes in - it’s very well made and is kind of engaging at this point - does it pick up any more steam?
Seems to be low on sci-fi and heavy on marriage politics in the 60’s.
It's not so much sci-fi but alternate history. They always stick to science that could have been pursued if the cold war superpowers kept spending on the space race.5 episodes in - it’s very well made and is kind of engaging at this point - does it pick up any more steam?

I don't think this is a spoiler, but it's now got to the stage where it feels like it could be the prequel to The Expanse, which is centuries in the future, but the science is still 'grounded'.
I also felt season 1 focused more than I would like on the domestic dramas. But in later seasons they get the balance right.

I think this is fair, but then again it makes later series more “satisfying” when we know the main characters’ backstories so well…Edited by SpudLink on Wednesday 15th May 12:53

Anyone watching Dark Matter?
Can't quite figure out whether it's any good but am sort of enjoying it partly because I really can't predict where it's going.
I'm watching but it's reeeeeally slow isn't it? I suspect the first series could have been done better as a 2 hour film.Can't quite figure out whether it's any good but am sort of enjoying it partly because I really can't predict where it's going.
It's starting to feel like the kind of story that is being written as they go along.

Enjoying it but you do need to turn off part of your brain to enjoy it, (with drugs maybe) it's like 30% plot holed pure trash, 70% decent fun.Can't quite figure out whether it's any good but am sort of enjoying it partly because I really can't predict where it's going.
Coda
Movie about a family all deaf bar daughter who can her and is the translator for the family even though still at school.
They are sea fishermen close to Boston.
Girl has a good voice and main subject is her conflict about leaving the family to better herself or remaining with them
Surprisingly good.

very late to the party but just finishing off Masters of the Air (having just visited the 8th Air Force Museum in NC) - bloody excellent it is too
Ahhh I was a bit disappointed tbh - doesn’t compare well with Band of Brothers in my opinion (and neither does Pacific).Lefty said:

a lot of these type of series now really dont bring anything new to the party, although the ending perhaps will be different, we've seen this in spades recently - dark , mysterious, slow burner scifi that deliberately confuses you until the end (being 8 weeks down the line)....ive just lost interest in these types of things

Jackson Lamb is a great character
