3 Body Problem (2024)
Pass
I love good Syfi that requires one to pay attention and not settle for cheap special effects and cheap scares. But this show, and the books, try way too hard to be cerebral. There is no real payoff in earth's confrontation with the alien species. Just have to wait for 4 hundred years to see that happen. It's not really the television series fault for that as it's based on a series of novels written by a real physicist and rocket scientist. I guess if you are one of those it will help to understand and enjoy this series. I'd rather settle for less nerd speak and more shields to maximum and ready the proton torpedoes. If they make a sequel to this series based on the second novel, expect more of the same but it does offer a answer to the question of if someone else is out in the universe, where are they ? God forbid if they do a series on the third novel as that one is full on geek speak.
The Prisoner (1967)
Still the strangest show ever
You can watch this series repeatedly and just when you think you have it all figured out, you come away with a different perspective. If you are looking for a show that is all tide up in a bow at the end of the hour, this isn't it. Strange doesn't begin to describe it. Part science fiction part mystery part social commentary. Add them all together and you come out with weird. It can be rather maddening and leave you with a what the heck was that about but it makes you think and use your imagination which very few shows do, especially today. As for the last episode that is still talked about today which left most viewers mad with an undefined ending including its most ardent fans I fill you in. It was the 60's and these people be tripping.
The Old Man: VII (2022)
That's it ?
Well that was a let down. We have to wait until next season to see how this plays out ? One season one story line please. Don't drag it out. I feel like a chump waiting around for the reveal.
The Terminal List (2022)
Requires you to put aside logic.
Lot of bang bang and shoot'em up but story has more holes in it than a pound of Swiss cheese. Just a very illogical story line. Reacher or the Jack Ryan shows are much better.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Fantastic
Captures the spirit of the original series like no other. The cast is outstanding and I can't wait for the second season. Or the third or fourth or fifth. I'll take all I can get.
Outer Range (2022)
What the heck.
What started out as a reasonably good story drifted so far off the path I would have laughed if it wasn't my time that was wasted. Huge difference between the first four episodes and the insanity that followed with the last four. If they are expecting to tie up all the unanswered plot lines with a second season, count me out. I know when I've been strung along and played and I guarantee you won't get a second chance. And yes, all those other reviews commenting on all the dark scenes are correct. Annoying.
