You might want to look out for Legion afterwards Watched episode 1 tonight. A very strong start. I think I'll be with this for the duration. We're watching The Expanse. Watched the pilot of this too. Will need to see a few more episodes to get the measure of it. Also watched the first two episodes of The Boys season 2. And (off-topic) I'm more than half way through Phil's Dr Strange Epic. Juggling quite a few ongoing stories in my head this week! Martin

Best new telly I've seen for a few years now.
One side-effect of bingeing on 'Legion' is that whenever I return to the real world to go for a walk I have that same sense of unreality I had when leaving the cinema after seeing 'The Matrix' or 'Inception' for the first time.
But it's seriously well-written and choreographed. I even love the song & dance numbers.
Well into season 2 now.
One great thing about the live-action X-Men/Wolverine spin-offs (New Mutants, The Gifted and Legion which I love, and Deadpool which I'm not such a fan of) is that unlike the X-Men/Wolverine movies themselves, which keep contradicting one another, the spin-offs are all self-contained in continuity terms and can bolt onto whatever your preferred movie timeline happens to be.
And while MCU is the best thing to happen to Marvel on screen, it is refreshing to watch stuff that is not scripted with MCU-style dialogue.

Viserys Targaryen (aka Harry Lloyd) makes a good young Charles Xavier, in the absence of James McAvoy.

Well, I finished all three seasons of 'Legion'. Best show I've seen since 'Game of Thrones' finished. And I'm already considering a re-watch. It's definitely part of my live-action X-Men head-canon, which currently consists of 'X-Men', 'X-Men 2', 'Origins: Wolverine', 'First Class', 'New Mutants', 'The Gifted' and 'Legion'.
Also finished 'The Boys' season 2. Solid.
Six episodes into 'The Expanse' and struggling. Dunno if it's easier-going for people who read the books first. But it is rather serious. Struggling to find the magic spark of colour. Somehow I don't get the feeling that persisting with it will reward me with a sudden Shadow ship in hyperspace or three baby dragons, that make me flip from indifferent to suddenly interested. But I've come this far, I guess I'll give it to the end of season 1 to hook me.
Thinking about watching a second episode of 'Lower Decks'.

If you have BT broadband you can get Britbox free for 6 months where it streams. Or there is a DVD release from Network.

Alas, I am with TalkTalk and such sorcery as Britbox is beyond my powers. My TV is Freewview but I am currently half way through exploiting a free month on Amazon Prime on my laptop, hence the foray into The Expanse / The Boys / Lower Decks.

I never managed to get into The Expanse, despite strong recommendations. It never grabbed me somehow.
Currently playing catch-up on my Voyager watch through after falling behind at the start of the year. There are some corkers of episodes towards the end of S2! Lifesigns and Deadlock particularly standing out, though they are very different (it dawns on me now that both feature the Vidiians, as so many memorable episodes have).
Deadlock moves at a heck of a pace by the standards of the time, and even if you can see the twist coming it is kind of bold. Lifesigns is just really sweet and poignant, and at times funny. Strongly feeling I should have got into the show sooner now!
