    I’ve just discovered Battlestar Galactica (2004) and am blown away by it. It’s a masterpiece and has become my new favourite fiction in decades.

      I just started my first rewatch in ages last week! You're in for a treat. I'm astonished by just how much better this show is than I remembered; I loved it back when I was younger, but especially compared to a lot of modern shows I think it holds up really well.

        I have to agree. I've been a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Game of Thrones, Altered Carbon and a few Asian ones I've forgotten the names of. But BSG has perfected so many...

        I have to agree. I've been a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Game of Thrones, Altered Carbon and a few Asian ones I've forgotten the names of. But BSG has perfected so many things:

        • Story & realism
        • Dialog
        • Casting
        • Acting
        • Music
        • Camera work
        • Special Effects
        • Pacing
        • Design & Aesthetic

        And to top it off, I expect it didn't get cancelled without tying up at least some loose ends.

        It will be a tough act to follow for me. Maybe that's a good thing :)

    So far, Shogun is excellent imho. I recommend both the show and the book and the original miniseries.

        I agree. I don't think I can do spoiler tags from mobile

    Watched a few episodes of Mr and Mrs Smith on Prime, and it was pretty good. From my memory of the Brangelina movie, I was expecting a snarky action series (a la Reacher), but it proved to be much...

    I really like Donald Glover, and his chemistry with Maya Erskine is really good, so I am interested to see how this develops.
