Paradise(2025) is a good crime drama with a sci-fi fantasy twist.
Great heads up, colonel sah! More of a twisty sci-fi thriller than a crime drama, but I'm on ep 4 and mid-binge.
Does look good, but watching shed loads at the moment! Despite
"thecolonel's" recommendation, I'm surprised to see DM agreeing with anything that
"The Guardian" have to say....

You obviously ignored my February "heads up"
I'll let you know when Season 2 drops in 2026

No, it most definitely was not. Excuse me, I'm going outside to eat worms...

The only one of those that might appeal to me would be Reunion so will give the pilot a spin. Will do the same for Paradise .Farm Pub has been entertaining as usual and Murderbot seems to be aimed at 12-year-olds.

Also looking for new material (no horror/murders/feminist/gen-Z wokefests) since my supply has been exhausted now, and I'm re-binging old stuff.
A few I like;
Blue Bloods (cop show, 14 seasons, will keep you busy)
Longmire ( another cop show)
Schitts creek ( comedy)
Hell on Wheels (western re railroads)
Ray Donovan ( about a fixer in hollywood)
Lioness ( special forces stuff)
Mayor of Kingstown ( semi crooked mayor of a big city)
Let me know any you like

Gave up on Reunion after the first episode, seemed to be another slow-moving dreary Brit drama about not a lot. Paradise was much better and made me want to watch the next episode pretty much straight away. Gotham now, which focuses on Detective Jim Gordon from the Batman mythos and is five seasons deep.

I just finished Dept Q. and it's a 6 out of ten from me. It's been compared to Slow Horses but doesn't come near to living up to that either in style, premise, scripting or acting. It's also very gory in small doses.

Completely agree with your 6/10 rating and the annoying lead character!

I watched all of Dying for Sex and it certainly had it highlights and low lights.
