Lucifer - 2016-2021 - IMDB rating 8,10 I believe it was Stormy who mentioned it and I decided to check it out. It is absolutely great! Now I thought there was another series with the same name a few years back, different actor etc? I believe the actor in that also played in Supernatural? But this, it just works! His charm, the wit and dynamics between actors, his script is amazing too. All that with a British accent from Lucifer... I'm sold! I started watching this a couple of weeks ago. I'm totally hooked... Definitely binge worthy, I'm at the end of season 3 already, haha. |

I almost gave up on it. But thank goodness they managed to tune into their mojo and it got good again. I was glad I stuck with it! |

Oh good, I was sort of feeling the same way and the last few episodes were frustrating. But I kept watching it in hopes it would change directions. Glad to hear that it does. |

Just finished the last episode of Sherlock, damn what a good series!!
I enjoyed this second time watch tremendously, not sure why I didn't appreciate it as much the first time round. Now I gotta find something else again... |

I tried movie Kimi but found it horribly boring. I tried for 20 mins but acting was flat, so was the sound btw, and nothing was happening.
I watched golden oldie The Net with Sandra Bullock instead. |

I'm certain I posted it but it has been removed?
TV series Halo - series - 2022 - SciFi Really good so far. I'd say sci-fi / action as it's set in the future but not your regular sci-fi. Really worth checking out if you're looking for something new. |

Yes, I watched it the other day after I'd seen you post it in another topic. Really good movie and for me it was the same, didn't expect this either! Very well done. Great to see Mel Gibson do something good again :) |

Magpie Murder - 7,4 IMDB rating
I'd rate it a 9 for sure. Excellent British series. Mystery, crime The story focuses on the murder of a mystery author and uses a story within a story format. Editor Susan Ryeland is given an unfinished manuscript that will change her life. |

Karen Pirie 2022 - series - 7,6 IMDB rating Police series set in Scotland.
Absolutely brilliant!! My rating would be a 10. Might get renewed, not sure yet as it was only released in September last. After the promotion to Police Scotland's Historic Cases Unit, Karen Pirie reopens the cold case of a murdered barmaid. Her investigation unearths flaws in the original 1995 inquiry.[/i[ |

Hidden Assets - 2021 - police series - 7,2 IMDB rating
My rating would be 6-7. It was okay, yet somehow didn't do it for me. Not sure if it was the Irish & Belgian vibe, the production, or the cast, or the whole lot. It just didn't hit the spot for me and in a way surprised it got such a high rating. A diamond haul in Limerick, a body in Antwerp and a terrorist bombing campaign. DS Emer Berry must work out how they are all connected. |

Started watching the Canadian police/crime series Cardinal.
First few episodes I wasn't sure, but then it began to grow on me. So far I like it :) With Canadian series it's always peculiar to see the same actors time and again. As if there only are a handful of people in Canada and they have little choice. Anywho, the series is good and the 2 main characters are new actors for me which is nice :) |

Believe it or not, "Battleship". It will surprise you!

Oh yes, and Passengers
