Finished Season 6; man, this show used time travel A LOT. And it was different every time.
LOL - I guess the trade-off for Lister/Craig getting to make out with beautiful women was that he had to make out with some monsters as well!
I miss Holly. But taking her out does mean that everyone else gets to do more stuff.
So, we're just going to create an entire planet of Rimmers, and never follow up on that? Oy.
Wow, the one(?) time they end on a life-or-death cliffhanger, and then the show doesn't come back for 3 years -- double Oy.
Still disappointing that Cat's been here this whole time but they still don't give him any A-plots.
ETA: I know that sounds like a bunch of complaints, but I'm still enjoying the show, it's still funny!

I'm a sucker for doppelgangers and alternate realities, so it's cool to see the different ways they used to have different versions of the characters.
Okay, so I realize this is at least partly to save money on guest actors, but my point still stands!

So 2 episodes into Season 6 and yay! Cat has a third trait. I don't know if it makes sense that he can supposedly sniff things in outer space, but when has anything made sense on this show? LOL!
I appreciate the attempt at a serialized story, and changing the status quo, but it's weird that they would remove the thing that's the title of the show.

Also the Deadline article: ‘Alex Rider’ To End With Season 3, Premiere Date Set At Freevee

Maybe? But it sounds like the producers are good with ending it at this point.

Season 5:
Another good set of episodes; although the only one that I think didn't really fit in with the rest was "The Inquisitor", which was more sci-fi than funny.
Cat's been a little more involved in things, but I'm still waiting for him to have a central story or another personality trait. I do wonder where he gets all his clothes from, though -- LOL.

This show is also fun just to hear some British slang!

Oh God me too. I love messy train wreck, characters usually, but I like my detectives to be functional adults without personal drama or horribly traumatic backstories who also get along with their coworkers. LOL That's true of both TV and books. Just do your detecting without being an angsty, troubled drama llama or an asshole!
It's not even that I'm against this type of character, in theory, but lately it seems like EVERY new show is this SAME character.

I'm sure Season 3 is coming, but is it a "confident update" if it's from someone not even associated with the production or Amazon? Never change, ScreenRant.

TV has got to start getting away from 'Genius/Highly Skilled Protagonist With a Tragic, Mysterious Past (who can help everyone except themselves)'.
I'm ready for some well-adjusted detectives again, thanks. (Still miss you, God Friended Me !)

Sense and Sensibility:
Yeah, they just had too much to cram into the runtime, and what suffered most was building up the relationships.
And of course, if you've seen the version with Emma Thompson it pales in comparison. Speaking of -- I kinda felt sorry for the actor playing Edward who had to do a Hallmark version of Hugh Grant.
I did like that they went colorful for the costumes; although I thought simpler might have been better in some cases.
I don't know if these were the "easter eggs", but I did get a kick out of the 'Regency instrumental' versions of "Kiss From a Rose" and "Weak".
I do appreciate that Hallmark attempted something like this. While they are definitely trying to get in on the costume/period drama trend, I don't think they were copying Bridgerton (there would be way more sex, and that just isn't their brand).

With Colter(Hartley) outdoors and on location most of the time, I guess having his handlers and hacker have all their scenes in one room saves money. But even if that's a small part of the show, I feel that's going to get boring eventually.
I'd love some face-to-face interactions with his team, and some backstory of how they started working together.
Case of the week was engaging, but I hope not every episode involves a shootout.

I got lost a lot during this episode.
Yeah; this was me. I admit, sometimes I'm multitasking with some of these case-of-the-week shows, but this time I was actually paying attention!
Didn't really like the end with the mother of the girl not pressing charges; but like someone already mentioned, would that actually be up to her?
Anyway -- the only fashion standout was Robyn's embellished coat. I did like that her hair was loose, which they don't usually do.

Season 4 thoughts:
Okay, since I mentioned Craig Charles' acting before, I have to say that I find him greatly improved this season. I don't know if it's the writing, or if he was more comfortable in the role, or whatever. Although there are still a couple of times where he's almost breaking character by laughing at a line he shouldn't be laughing at.
I think the stories improved a bit, or at least they were funnier; they seem to be hitting their stride. Some really fun episodes here!
Kryten was a great addition to the cast.
I wish they'd given Cat an arc or two; he's still pretty one-note. Even Kryten and Holly got some growth.

[Late, and I haven't read all the comments yet, but I just had to get this out:]
These fools. They cannot be serious! I'm talking about the writers/showrunners. To think, earlier in the season I was actually commending them for actually fixing a problem with the show, BUT NO, they still want to to go with Ben/Addison. NOBODY is here for that, especially the Addison part. They were doing so good with Ben & Hannah! I wasn't really expecting them to last past this season, but the doubling down on with Ben/Addison is just dumb.
I have absolutely dropped a show for putting the wrong couple together, so I don't know if y'all will see me here next season.
And on a different, smaller, nitpicky note: it bothered me that Gideon has curly hair, but the actors for his younger self did not.
[Okay, back to reading the comments, more thoughts later...]

'Grant Gustin shares what he misses most about The Flash'
QuoteGrant Gustin has an unsurprising answer to what he misses most about The Flash: “The people,” he told The A.V. Club in a recent interview. “I did it for nearly 10 years. I was 23 when that show started and 33 when the show ended, and grew up, and learned a lot of who I was, and just matured a lot throughout the process, and was surrounded by cast and crew that became family. I mean, it’s so cliché, but it’s true. I spent so much more time with all of those people than I did with anyone that was my actual family during those years. And it’s weird to just suddenly end and know that we’ll never all be in the same room at the same time again.”
