Funny crime series
A cool lighthearted for the most part Drama series. Quite funny and with a good mix of action. The cast make the show and have great chemistry. Cobie Smulders, Maria Hill in the Avengers films, is a great lead character. She becomes a private eye in Portland after hitting rock bottom. Often getting in to danger or trouble with the police but using her military skills to solve her cases. Her clapped out car often choosing a suitable tune for the current scene with the broken player. A good mix of humour, action, good characters and interesting cases make it a fun series. Roll on season 2.

Book Rating
It's been a long time since I read a series of books where every book has been consistently as good as the last, but this series by Jim Butcher is putting that to right.

This is the eight book in the series and, normally, by this time I'd be beginning to get a little bit too used to the characters: a little bit washed up, if you will, by the books. This one bucks that trend as well as seeing the return of the Carpenters, and providing further ammunition and open plot lines for subsequent books (even if Waldo Butters isn't really in this one). Well worth a read, but read the earlier books first!

I've slipped into the middle of a series......I need to read the others!!

To say we are reading a murder mystery, Dead as a Duck is a lot of fun. I enjoyed the closeness of the main characters, the different personalities bouncing off each other.
    Kit is a bit if a firecracker and very determined in the things that she does.....especially when suspicion is cast close to home.

As I said this is part of a series, however, it could easily be read as a standalone.....don't do it!! Go for the whole series and treat yourself to a cheeky bottle of wine.

Carries on from the Mandalorian series 2

First half is pretty slow
Return of the Fett
Well this continues on from the Mandalorian series 2, there is a teaser at the end of the last episode of that. So make sure you watch the 2 series of that or a lot won't make much sense.
Good to see a back story of how he escaped the Sarlacc pit in Return of the Jedi and up to appearing in The Mandalorian. It does continue the story of The Mandalorian quite a bit rather than being totally separate.
So if you liked that then this is pretty similar of not the best plot story.

"So say we all!"
2003 Minis-series that acts as a backdoor pilot into the series proper of the reimagined BSG, one of the highlights of the last 20 years sci-fi TV.

This helps set up the scene of said series: just why are the fleet looking for Earth whist being pursued by the Cylons: here, reimagined from the late 70s/earl 80s clanking Robots (although those models still exist) into near-perfect simulation of humankind who are able to infiltrate the 12 colonies before launching a genocidal attack.

And thus set up the central dilemma of the show: if anyone can be a Cylon (and maybe not even know it!), just who can you trust?
