Stavros: .... I will not watch any episode of Breaking Bad again, it is not worth the effort to do so.

Agree wholeheartedly ….the writers decided to descend the show into a sadomasochistic exercise when they ran out of ideas for a decent story line. I probably broke away from Breaking Bad a lot sooner than most people.

Currently trying to catch up with the science/space operas that I missed due to work or travel . 3rd Rock from the Sun , Reimaged Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek Voyager and Star Trek Next Generation with the exception of Star Trek Enterprise . Way too dark and a cramped gray setting. Also just tired of seeing yet another Scott Bakula project. My prejudice = my loss I guess....

The BBC is showing again all five series of its Corrupt Cop drama series, Line of Duty. Quite by coincidence, I bought all five on DVD the week before, and have now watched all five series back to back. Although it is one of the best crime dramas we have seen in the UK, there are lots of holes in plots, while the ability of DS Steve Arnott to survive a couple of incidences of being beaten up, and thrown a couple of floors down over a flight of stairs and return to work not long after, is of extreme interest to medical science. The strength of the series is in the scripts, the tactic of filming interviews quite unlike, and much longer than conventional interviews, and in the 'sudden death' syndrome whe characters you expect to be around for some time, are suddenly removed from the scene.

Recommended, and no, I don't know who 'H' is, or if, as implied in Series 5, 'H' is even the key to the mystery -is organized crime embedded in the Police Service? What a question!

Extant (Mickey Fisher) Season One 2014

I bought this in my local independent CVD/CD/ Vinyl store, and managed to get through the first DVD. The thought of watching the rest did not appeal to me. More extinct, than Extant. This box is headed for the charity shop or the Entertainment Store where I can at least get a couple of quid for it.

The Expanse, Season 1, 2016

Having heard good things about this show I purchased the box set of Season One on Blu-Ray, and am now more concerned with the expense. Great production values, but a tedious seen-it-all-before drama with characters with the interest of a loo-roll and the acting ability of a bar of soap. No matter how far into the future we might go, we seem to take all our past problems with us, and for a show so modern, there was a distinct lack of AI, and no thought as to how the future might look outside the technology -as usual, overcrowded rather than de-populated; a spead of ages rather than, say, a concentration of elderly or young people. The dialogue needs subtitles because on Ceres the people speak a mix of English and a South African sounding patois -why? Worst of all, even by the last episode I was still confused at who some of the characters were, but since I really didn't care, I can't be bothered to explore this further.
