Damn, this show is really starting to come alive. Great interactions between Saru and Burnham. A quality captain in Jason Issacs’ portrayal of Lorca. Rainn Wilson bringing back a funny, colourful character. Gritty action, fantastic visual effects. The dodgy acting of the first two episodes seems to be gone too? Things are looking good! It’s just a shame the season will end as it’s starting to get interesting.

19-2: 2x01 School

Amazingly planned and executed episode. Captured the confusion, pain and loss of the situation perfectly.

Top Gear: 24x03 Episode 3

Mostly good. Nurburgring segment was a little weak (everyone simply moved off the racing line for Schmidt) and the guest segment was just okay. Enjoyed the brief history of the VW Golf.

Top Gear: 24x01 Episode 1

This was FANTASTIC. That piece about the Ferrari made me drool, some of the footage was really great especially the helmet camera. The space theme behind the Kazakhstan segment gave me a few goosebumps as well!

The Grand Tour: 1x03 Opera, Art and Donuts

I find it's gotten worse since the first episode. The 3 guys still have great chemistry but it seems like they're just using a big budget to goof around more than ever, massaging their ego's and rambling on about Britain.

Episode two was pretty bad. It would be nice to actually get some proper opinion and analysis of the cars being driven. Many scenes seem to take place outside the car. I don't expect 5th Gear levels of information but dedicate at least a few minutes to this, having a look at road cars and a bit less time destroying things!

Also, what's is the deal with the celebrity introductions? Is the same joke still funny 10 times later? Rant over :)

The Man in the High Castle: 1x01 The New World

Fairly average pilot.. a bit far-fetched. None of the actors speak German or Japanese, which kind of kills the realism (some of the soldiers are supposed to be American Nazi's, which is fair enough).

I might come back to it eventually.
