A solid entry into the fantasy realm but nothing to write home aboit
Shannon was lauded as the next J.K. Rowling by some but she didn't develop the same kind if following. Her books are good, not great. The world she creates, while interesting as not as compelling as others out there. In a very crowded genre, this series just failed to stand out enough.

The large garage sale Meg and Michael are throwing to clean up their new home is drawing huge crowds. Sorry, the body in that trunk isn't included. The humor had me laughing the entire way through, and I thought this was the best mystery of the series. Very well done.

Cracking Thriller
Finally got around to watching one of the most talked about TV shows of last year. It centres around the Personal Protection Officer to the Home Secretary. The first few episodes were very exciting with some great action scenes. The later episodes concentrating more on investigating various plotlines and conspiracies. It's interesting as we get a look into how the Police, Counter Terrorism and Intelligence services work. It all feels very realistic in terms of how the various teams work for the Home Office. There are plenty of twists and turns, the tension will have you gripped to your seat. Perfect for a short tense series.

Follow up to season one of Star Trek: Picard, with this series obviously taking its cue from 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home', in that Picard and other key characters all find themselves displaced in time, working to find their way back home.

Very much hit and miss: there were some good episodes, yes, but also some, shall we say, somewhat questionable decisions made and actions carried out throughout the course of the season.

Anchored, as always, by Patrick Stewarts Captain Jean-Luc Picard, with this season also seeing involvement by his old frenemy Q.

I think, all in all, I enjoyed this more than season one, but that wasn't a particularly high bar to clear ...
