Ahsoka: Season 1

I pushed through all 8 episodes. Sorry, this was quite poor. I don't know specifically what's wrong it just doesn't work. After the other shows recently Like Kenobi and Mandalorian I had a different expectation. This is, boring. I say 5, thats frankly on the generous side.

A 3rd season mix here... very sad to see some of the current cast leave (for a variety fo reasons) - it seems like the Network decided to use the last episode as a mass cull!!

Awesome.

I realise much is done for drama and of course storyline but it does beggar belief really that a person whose has committed crimes can say “I don’t remember” and get away with it.

Any real resemblance to Agatha's novel is almost merely coincidental; so much is altered and inserted that it's almost a completely different animal.

That said, it does all mostly make sense, perhaps in truth in some ways the original novel doesn't; it's certainly updated for modern times.

After all is said an ddone; be careful who you drink with :)

I can see why it appears to have been dropped; all but one episode is poor really; almost like they weren't really invested in this anymore except the last espisode which maybe was shot in season 3?....

Lost: Season 5

Having seen the arrival, the finding out about the island, the getting off the island, the getting back - now we get to see why and what next.

Great season, particularly the last few episodes. Plenty of life left in this show yet

Lost: Season 4

Season 4. Island under attack. This show just got even more weird, yes, it is possible!

Am I current time, historic or future, amybe none of them. Somehow the complicated is made to be understandable yet we are left with so many questions; will they be answered in season 5. Probably not.

Lost: Season 3

Fabulous season in which we learn much more about the island and it's inhabitants, familiar faces are joined by new faces and more questions are left handing than are solved

Dynasty: Season 1

I didn't watch the original show from the '80s but I do know it's synonymous with scrappy fights and over the top-ness

Ever episode here is fun, but it really does get better in the second half of the season to end with a roaring season finale you just don't expect!

Great first season. I really hope they continue.

I have read the reviews currently shown and whilst you can't disagree entirely with them, I think personally some are a little harsh.

Yes, the story is maybe predictable, but, then it would be wouldn't it. It's a reboot of an old classic. It has been updated and frankly is way more realistic and plausible than the original, in my view.

the robot stole the original show and steals it again here; I would like to see more of it - perhaps thats season 2

The Crown: Season 2

Building on Season 1, this was a totally enjoyable and enthrawling season; I'm so excited to see season 3

This show really is a must for everyone IMHO

This has become a show where rules were made to be ignored, unless the character's magic eight ball says otherwise. Use of humour adds a nice inflection at times; I do like the character of Nate and his friendship with Ray

So much timeline to be messed with, I feel only these guys are capeable!!

12 Monkeys: Season 2

Season 2 was a roller coaster of splinters in time, back and forth - so very confusing! I think, and thats just a thought, that the ending brings it all together; you have to stick with the episodes though!! If nothing else, the visual effects are really quite stunning at points, you have to love the show for this alone.

The door opens for Season 3 which could be stunning as there's certainly plenty of material they can use here. Doesn't every viewer want to find the Witness??

I do really love how the children are the only ones able to see people for who and what they are; the characters are brilliant.

Brilliantly odd show; love how they continually try and tell you to 'not watch' LOL

Helix: Season 2

Building on season 1 this had a good promise which did loose it's way, particularly the last 6 episodes maybe. It's certainly off the chart weird

Thunderbirds Are Go!: Season 1

I'm not exactly a child any longer, so, should knowing this series is aired on Children's TV in the Uk be an issue; heck no!

I loved the original Thunderbirds series, despite the fact I first remember watching it 15yrs after it first aired. This rekindling takes the same premise and moves it into the future, further and in a more contemporary manner. Most episodes in this season were hugely entertaining.

Broadchurch: Season 2

Season 2; I was thinking, can this be 'as good' as season 1. Hell yes!

Season 2 deals with the aftermath of the events of season 1 and it does so really well, but, we have other material to be concerned with, that being will Hardy and Latimer solve another old case.

Series 3, please!!

Broadchurch: Season 1

Late to watch this show, totally hooked as soon as I started, watched all the episodes as quickly as I could - I just had to know who the killer was!!

Gripping stuff. Instant classic as far as I'm concerned.

Awesome; better than season 1 with an ending to die for

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 3

On balance a good season, finishing with what is perhaps one of the best cliffhangers ever; strangely one of the worse episodes too (for me anyhow) with Barclay!

The Following: Season 3

Season 3 started well, fell flat in the middle and finished extremely strongly; very happy with the final episodes. Season 2 was hard to watch, very dark. I'm glad season 3 gave some closure although not exactly a happy ending...

Mixed thoughts on Season 2; some major plot holes and wow do these people hold grudges!

I think the right decision at the end to take Joe back into custody; at least Ryan doesn't have his death on his hands. Mark, well, he's missing in action and seems to be able to carry the weight of his dead brother for miles no trouble at all!! He's soon to be plotting revenge, disability or not!

Under the Dome: Season 3

I was surprised this show made it to three seasons. The whole third season was pretty 'trip' and many things were so far beyond plausible it defies explanation. The final episode brings things very well together although no true ending exists; things are very much open to continuation.

Even if there ever was a remake or a season 4 I don't think they would find me watching.

RIP UTD

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 2

Great second season on balance; I particularly disliked 'The Royale' which reflected in my /10 score. The characters are well bedded in now and the freshness of season one has gone; you can see they work better together. The addition of Ten Forward is welcome as the scene's become more flexible.

Marvel's Agent Carter: Season 1

I kept this show to one side to watch when I had a moment; I'm kinda sorry I waited so long. I love the date setting and attention to detail given to costume, location and wordplay.

Looking forward to season 2!
