The Game (2014)
Spooks 1972
Excellent mini series. From the story, characters, filming style, it's very easy to see this as sharing the same universe as BBC's Spooks. I would love to have seen this continue, move into the 1980s, 90s, end of Soviet Union and introduce young versions of characters we later see in Spooks.
Star Trek: Picard: The Star Gazer (2022)
Bloody hell - best episode of ST to date.
Just amazing. Legacy, new, emotional, perfect. The first season of Picard was great, but if the second is anything like this episode, this is going to be amazing.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Paradise (1994)
Strong Episode
Simple concept of a no technology society, but with an interesting twist, and a dark undertone.
Alexis is excellently played, but the moments that stand out:
1. Sisco's shake of his head to Miles.
2. The children left staring at the box at the end, contemplating their future....?
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Lower Decks (1994)
Excellent. Genuinely moving episode.
An excellent episode, and study into the complexities of being a leader, and a member of a team. Also, as a former Naval Officer, the tension between the senior officers and lower ranks (albeit still junior officers) was realistic, with the usual dramatic licence. But great to see a break away from the usual 'Wardroom' perspective of every other ST episode.
Tenet (2020)
Classic Nolan
He's done it again! A masterpiece. And like Interstellar, you either love it or just don't understand it.
Fleabag (2016)
Great surprise
Have always been vaguely aware of Fleabag, but it never appealed (on paper), as a man in my late 30s. But wow, just binged in the whole series. Very, very funny and moving at the same time. Not one to watch with your parents or more sensitive friends though!
