I started S1 E1 of The Fall.  I was not able to get throuh the episode, just too slow for me.

So I started S1 of Fortitude.  This is a much more interesting tale of crime(?) at the most northern city on the planet.

Of course! I had some extra because a (former) friend of mine never showed up for his slice. It was delicious.

Damn, you guys are kinda getting me hyped for For All Mankind... How does Moore's writing compare to Battlestar Galactica?

Shame it's on Apple.

Is For All Mankind all science-fictiony?

Not really.  It's a take on what would have happened had the Russians been the first to land on the moon.  It's not so much science fiction as it is just good fiction with interesting characters.  Space exploration and the battle with Russia to be the first in space, land on the moon, put a base on the moon, etc. is the back drop.   It also touches on social issues from time to time.

I'm not a science fiction fan... and I like For All Mankind.

Finished S4 of Rake

Really have enjoyed this series and the characters.

I actually laugh out loud at some of the predicaments he gets into.

@Lou I know you have seen this and I agree that it's a good break from murder mysteries.

One more season to go.

Apple has one of the best streaming platforms. Shut your mouth.

The writing is great, but you can’t really compare BSG and FAM

Season 4 is brilliant. Did you watch the remixed version or the original? You can find the original version under "Trailers and More" on Netflix.

After watching it, you have to watch it again to recognize just how genius of a season it is. It's put together so well.

I’ll take your word for it, man. Will give it another chance.

You have to really pay attention to all the clues they leave in the first half of the season, which pay off in the second half. Once you've seen it all and you go back, it's incredibly rewarding.

Source: I'm actually watching S4 again right now, for the first time in several years, and I'm enjoying it even more than the last time I watched it.

I've only seen S5 once and wasn't a big fan. I'm curious how I'll feel about it watching it the second time.
