Star Trek: Picard: Farewell (2022) Season 2, Episode 10

Brilliant, except for one thing.

[8/10 · 21 May 2022]

Easily nine stars, until the end, where Wesley Crusher makes an appearance. This was totally unneeded and illogical. Shame.

The rest of the show was very good. It finally all makes sense.

The Awakening (2009– )

Not finished

[6/10 · 12 July 2021]

A series that was promising, but cancelled after only 6 episodes, apparently in the middle of the story. Since it was cancelled 12 years ago it will not ever be continued. Very unsatisfactory.

HPI Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (2021– )

Original, French humour

[8/10 · 11 July 2021]

The kind of humour reminds me of Death in Paradise. Very funny, quite original, certainly not your average detective. All players perform wonderfully. Each part is great and they work together impeccably. You have to watch it in French, with subtitles, dubbed would be less funny. The voice of Audrey can't be dubbed good enough.

Morgane is brilliant and the totally chaotic, graphic and anti procedural way she figures everything out, is captivating to watch. Fleurot is a beautiful actrice, but they only thing that annoys me tremendously is the long fake shiny transparent nails she wears, that appear over a hundred times in closeup on the screen, each episode. It is really very annoying, way too much. Fleurots hands are really made ugly this way, which they aren't in real life at all.

Apart from that, the 8 episodes produced are great and I hope we will see more of them.
