Second season of the new Quantum Leap series, a sort-of continuation of the 1990s original, this, I felt, is a stronger season than the first.

So if course it was cancelled.

As with the other series on Netflix (more notably Jesse Jones), I felt this series was a little dragged out to the agreed 13 episodes.
The story is good with Luke playing the underdog well, and the different setting of Harlem worked well.
My favourite moment was in the flashback after Luke escaped from Seagate prison and ended up dressed like the 70s comic equivalent for a brief moment
  
As Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in cinemas, it's the perfect time to revisit the previous films in George Lucas's epic series. The original Star Wars (1977) dazzled audiences on its first release, but opinions on the blockbuster film series have have changed over the years.

The Empire Strikes Back (1980) initially met with sniffy reviews from the critics, and is now generally considered one of the best films in the franchise. So where will @Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017) rank?

Critics are suggesting that The Last Jedi might be even better than expected – but where should it really come in the definitive Star Wars ranking?

Great story (0 more)
A bit slow mid season (0 more)
Disturbing vision of the near future
Finally got around to watching this series after seeing very high reviews for it. I haven't read the book and didn't know anything about the story beforehand. It's an interesting if dark and disturbing vision of western society being taken back a couple of hundred years. I did find some of the mid season episodes a bit slow and less dramatic at times. Overall though an excellent series.
