Movies and TV shows that Nancy and I watched in January. I do these posts mainly so I can keep track of what we've been watching, so the reviews are cursory.
Movies
- Star Trek: Section 41. This movie has very little to do with Star Trek and wasn't even a good action flick. It was a total waste of time. (Paramount+)
TV Shows
- Antiques Road Trip (season 28): Jumping forward to the latest season. They've changed the format so there's no cumulative total of what the buyers end up with. We prefer the old format, but are still watching it. (PBS)
- Darby and Joan (season 2): This season is getting a bit more interesting than the first. The scenery of Queensland is still the strong point. (Acorn TV)
- Vera (season 14): Vera finally hands in her badge. At least they didn't kill her off. Given that Brenda Blethwyn is 78, I can understand why she wanted to finish the show. (BritBox)
- Silo (season 2): Season 2 is much like season 1, but with a wider scope. I have a hard time believing in the setting, as I don't see how they could keep the silos going for as long as they have, but ignoring that, it's well made and dramatically compelling. Apple TV+
- Dalgleish (seasons 1-3): Another police procedural/mystery series, this one based on novels by P. D. James (which I have not read). It's well done but didn't really grab me. (Acorn TV)
- The Tower (season 3): Another British cop show. This season continues the themes and character conflicts from the previous seasons. (Acorn TV)
- Skeleton Crew: Another Disney Star Wars series, this one featuring a group of children who stumble on an abandoned space ship. It was reasonably watchable with believable interactions among the kids and first-rate visuals. (Disney+)
- Saint-Pierre: A Canadian crime drama set on the French island of Saint-Pierre. The lead actress had a supporting role in Death in Paradise. This one is light with an interesting setting but otherwise nothing special. (CBC Gem)
