I didn't even realise it existed until earlier this year, after I'd finished binge listening to the audio books. Originally made by Syfy, they dropped it after Season 3 despite its building a huge fanbase and critical acclaim.
After a massive online campaign, it was picked up personally by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos for Season 4, and Season 5 is now in production. It looks likely that they'll see it through to the end of the books.
Season 1 is character, story, and world building and may appear to be a bit slow, but it really gets going in Season 2 when the 'Protomolecule' comes to the fore. There's proper space physics and hard science all the way through, with movie quality cinematography, great characters and brilliant acting
Amazons Season 4 dropped a couple of weeks ago, but I've been saving it while I watch the first 3 seasons again (even better 2nd time around) and will be binge watching it from tonight. By all accounts, Amazon have made it even better. It's a real exercise in patience not to dig in right this minute.
If you like scifi, or even a really good story, this is a MUST WATCH

I’m really looking forward to watching season 4, I was delighted when amazon picked it up as I thought it was the end when it was axed by the sci-fi channel. Apparently it had more viewers on sci-fi than some of the big shows that it renewed. As you said Amazon will probably do a better job anyway.Quote:

Found all three episodes engrossing.Quote:

Stuff like that has always fascinated me - the story behind classic albums etc.
Just finished watching it, Guy Pearce was magnificent.Quote:

Just finished 'Don't **** with Cats'.
Enjoyed it, it's a strange watch. Almost bordering on snuff movie at times. Some story though.
I have to say I found 'John Green' and 'Baudi Moovan' quite unlikeable. Her constant swearing and his pop psychology grated on me after a while.
Dracula on BBC 1 is turning into a good watch. 3 part mini series started tonight over the next 2.
When I saw it was on I thought here we go again but I will watch it anyway. Then I saw Moffat and Gatiss had written it, how wrong I was, I really really enjoyed and and it's a brilliant take on itQuote:

Tails off a bit the last series but still good.Quote:

My wee girl has loved the Snowman, the Snowman and the Snowdog and the Grinch over Christmas and would continue to watch them constantly but they're going to need to "go away" soon.
Stickman as has been mentioned is excellent and she loves the Tiger Who Came to Tea.
How old is she?Quote:

We did take her to Beecraigs before Christmas to the enchanted forest and they had a Grinch that jumped out of the trees. I almost had to raid the nappy bag myself, he was one creepy character.
After x,000 iterations, even Duggee is beginning to impact our collective sanity in this house just now.Quote:

Started The Boys on amazon last night. Brilliant.
Just watched Icarus on Netflix.
Quite eye opening how easy, relatively speaking, it is for sportspeople to circumvent anti doping rules.
Interesting that another person who crossed Putin died very unexpectedly only a short time after doing so. People who get on the wrong side of him seem to be really unlucky with their health, unfortunate accidents or getting in the way of bullets.....
