"This is a very well crafted, very well acted series. I knew the 1980 series before watching this. I saw the high budget of this, but alas the series left me hanging. There are no great battles here and it almost ends on a cliffhanger with what coming next left unresolved. Many characters also felt not flat, but undeveloped and underused to me - and consequently I didn't love nor hate them. Or hold any strong opinion about at all."
77 70% Constellation (2024) - Rated 23 Apr 2024
"A sci-fi mystery box where the mystery is worked out by the viewers at the midway point, but the characters are none the wiser. Except it all at does make sense within the story narrative as to why they feel like that. Two competing alternative realities where people in space 'swap' between by accident and end up falling into different lives causing the returning astronauts, if one survives, to go mad from the feeling of uncanny valley and not belonging."
57 27% Dummedag (2023) - Rated 09 Mar 2024
"I watched this because I like post-apocalyptic series, and because I like pandemic series (and this is both combined). The idea of a pandemic that makes people dumb and effectively toddlers sounded funny, but it was hardly realised. We barely see them. They don't even act like toddlers specifically. They just charge the characters more like traditional zombies. Yes, they can be distracted kind of like toddlers - but it would make more sense if they didn't actually necessarily do that."

74 56% Gyeongseong Creature (2023) - Rated 29 Feb 2024
"A monster romp that you probably don't need to think too hard about. It's fun, the fighting choreography is well done, it has some occasional movements of good dialogue. It's not quite on the level of Sweet Home S01 (it's definitely better than S02). It has plot contrivances, but I've seen those contrivances in a fair amount of K-Drama now. The characters and their chemistry start off a bit rough, but it develops well enough."
72 49% Charlie Jade (2005) - Rated 16 Feb 2024
"A surreal, somewhat low-budget parallel universe noir with good acting. Labours a bit throughout the middle, and some plot points just suddenly "happen" in order to get to the end. The anti-villain of 01 Boxer does a lot of heavy lifting for the show. The main character is like a noir version of John Crichton from Farscape."
55 25% Terra Nova (2011) - Rated 15 Feb 2024
79 75% Counterpart (2017) - Rated 12 Feb 2024
"So far, an excellent sci-fi trenchcoat show that deals with two parallel earths engaged in a cold war between each other."
