I'm surprised by the low score for 'Wild Cherry'. This show is a murder mystery but it is far from cosy crime and it is far more than just being a murder mystery.
Along the way, it has a wide ranging exploration of female relationships with each other. Whether that is mother/daughter, sister/brother, friends (bff!), daughter/father and husband/wife. Yes, there is a lot in this show.
The thing I liked the most was that rather than going down the safe route of being a 'chick flick', this show debunks that. It seems the sisterhood isn't that strong when push comes to shove and the law gets involved. It was great to see reality on show.
A definite watch and well done BBC for putting it on.

What a pity to see the end of this show after only two seasons. Mind you, they do wrap things up nicely. If you are reading this years after its release, it is well worth your time.
This show has characters that are believable despite what is happening down on the farm. It isn't Aliens vs Cowboys but a great exploration of the characters involved. Yes, by the end of Season 1 you'll be thinking what on earth you've just watched, but stick with it.
This reminded me of Night Sky. It was made for those who like to think about their sci-fi. It also doesn't hurt that the scenery is some of the most beautiful in the USA.
Watch!

Mea Culpa! I kept this one on the 'watch when you have a spare minute' pile. Big mistake. Quality acting, great story, excellent cast. Truly, watch this show. It's proper grown up tv which doesn't take you for an idiot. Friends agree.
To me, it started off like The Expanse. Don't get too comfortable with the characters in the opening episodes. From there, it progresses to a police procedural but with overtones of a bigger picture that you only get hinted at in the first few episodes.
For sci-fi fans, this is not new territory but the story is. It ropes in 1984 for sure. After that, you get Agatha Christie but all the time, it does feel new. Watch.
