Charlotte (184 KP) rated Dead as a Duck (Washington Whodunit #7) in Books
Sep 10, 2021 (Updated Sep 10, 2021)
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.

Back story clear up (1 more)
Carries on from the Mandalorian series 2
Only 7 episodes (1 more)
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.

David McK (3755 KP) rated BattleStar Galactica - the Miniseries in TV

"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?

The battle of winterfell was dark as anything. Clearly
a production problem not our TVS!!!
Spoilers ruined this season finale, making it predictable and not worth watching tbh.
Such a disappointment
I don't like to include spoilers in my reviews as it ruins it for people who haven't seen it. Although the following is quite negative I would urge people to watch this series and make their own minds up about it. It has some awesome moments that had the essence of the good thrones series. G.O.T. fan when this season started I counted down minutes until I could watch it (yes I'm that sad). All I found after 2 years of waiting was a rushed finale that could have used atleast 2 more episodes or even another series. Despite the fantastic actors they have in thrones, the writer's clearly just wanted to get this over and done with. It is rumoured that George R.R. Martin wanted 2 more series after S.8 (he had written up to series 5 i believe). Series 6 and 7 weren't awful but definitely not as good as the first 5, this was the final nail in what was a perfect coffin.
I would have preferred to wait longer to get what the person that created the world wanted than writers just winging it. It's been months since the finale and I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it anymore if I'm honest.
Again, I know how sad it sounds but I am actually heartbroken as it was a finale so many had waited for and it just didn't live up to true thrones standards.
Granted some bits were brilliant, but unfortunately the pros of this series do not outway the cons.
