How this series made it to 6 I'll never know. Watch the first series, then skip to the last two episodes of the 6th series and believe me, you wouldnt have missed much. Total cheese. "did you have a vision johnny?" "Yes". "Did you see timmy trapped in the well?" "yes". "Will we have to unblock the toilet and save the reoccuring actor this time playing a pilot from drowning in the lake in order to find the car with the unique spanner in the trunk and thereby save the world/homeless person/charity show/etc?". "yes". says it all. Producers take note, pretending to have a long arc (armageddon which never happens) but stick the show full of stand alone episodes that have nothing to do with anything is a bit of a con

The boys is a great pastiche of modern celebrity worship. Twitter is just facebook for celebrities, chefs and footballers and actors are now the new superhereos. We buy what they buy, we do what they do, We dress like them. This highly intelligent series uses the super hero marvel comic book phenomenon as a canvas to show how dumb we are to follow these superheroes, they are just as frakked up as the rest of us, and, in the end, its all about ego. Brilliantly cast, excellent production, but mostly fantastically honest and talented writing. It's one to watch over a weekend with a few beers and nibbles and a few non-covid friends

Watch this series as if your life depended on it - and even then, you'd probably doze off and accept death with relief

If you havent seen terra nova, just imagine jurassic park meets the swiss family robinson with a few colonists thrown in. It was released in 2011 when cgi was expensive and therefore it was cancelled after the first series. Cgi is no longer expensive and therefore theres no excuse NOT to bring the series back (netflix and amazon take note). It was a fantastic series and left on tempting morsels of future series production - at least 10 series could be wrenched from it - i'll write it myself if you like. This series is a recipe for success, if you're a producer reading this, don't be a muppet, commission another series and you'll see for yourself

Most people will probably view this film like its a documentary - or at least 'based' on a true story. It isn't, it's fiction. There we re no people prosecuted or even fired because of the travesty that what the iraq invasion was, a land take by the US government for oil. It's almost propaganda in essence but should just be seen for what it is, over paid actors running around shooting people with blanks for effect and pretending the world is abetter place for doing it. If you like eating popcorn and ignoring people truly died in a war over oil when sunshine is free, turn out the lights and fill your boots, its great for that at least

This would be a good film, if it was any good.

This dull series has ripped off every other sci fi series and is so bad I wont even bother finishing this sen

A truly woeful series but watched it due to liking books by orson scott card. Should be renamed "kids gone feral". Synopsis, kids, trapped on a planet, dressed in immaculately tailored robin hood outfits, with bows and arrows, shooting each other. They have an 'obelisk' (ie. google) that tells them everything, and have 'drones' (ie, alexa) that tells them what the weathers like, etc. Truly dreadful and very boring to watch, Orson? Im disappointed

I excitedly watched the first episode of series one and eagerly told everyone "It's brilliant, watch it!". That was quickly replaced after watching the whole series by yawning, thinking this isn't star trek, it's a soap opera about a character called Michael Burnham. Series II was no different. more yawning, is there a scene that DOESNT have Michael Burnham in it? No. Third series, watched the first batch, more Michael Burnham. This is not the voyages of the star ship 'Discovery' boldly going with rich diverse story-lines involving the entire diverse crew, instead, it is the tedious meanderings of the star ship 'Diversity' (which is an impossible mission). I get that the idea is not having so many white men in starring roles, I truly do, I'm totally in favour, but just to switch them out with women, aliens (played by mostly women), and members of the LGBT community is counterproductive to the diversity angle. I'm a true Star Trek fan and truly believe in the ideals it shines a light on. But this present incarnation of Star Trek is focusing on diversity as a single issue as a long arc is a mistake, lost is the inter-twinning of ALL issues of the day from what all previous Star Trek series had. What Disney did to Star Wars films by destroying them with mediocre scripts and great CGI and losing the heart of the essence of what Star Wars was, CBS is doing the same to Star Trek. Shame - in fact... I'm telling my mum on you!

During covid I re watched this series along with friends, what a godsend! Apart from the class writing, casting, acting we invented a new drinking game, "Hill Street Booze". The amount of famous actors that started in this program was ridiculous. One point for every actor you spot "Oh my god its...!", an extra point for every tv series & film they went on to make, and triple points if its a sci-fi series or film (dont worry, you name the sci-fi series or film, you'll spot someone that starred in it). Have fun - and hey... lets be careful out there :)
