1st episode of The Last of Us is exactly what it should be. Cannot wait to watch the rest.

That’s got rave reviews from a lot of sources. Is it on currently or are all the episodes available now?

On season 2 of The Tunnel. Off to a great start. Great complex crime drama to get your teeth into.

Also watching the current season of Happy Valley which is another british crime drama that’s won a bunch of awards.

"The Ark" on CTV SciFi Channel - I had hopes for this show but if the rest of it plays out like the first episode, it's a waste of screen time. It hits all of the tropes from similar shows, without any of the emotion. Things just sort of... happen and no one really seems to have any emotional reaction to them. Of course the spoiled hot girl has to be the one to try and use water frivolously, during a shortage, just so that they can put her in a PG-13 shower scene.

The first 10 minutes: "All; of the command crew are dead!" Virtual deadpan responses of, "Gosh, whatever will we do, now that our mentors are all dead?" OK, on with the rest of it.

I think that was even what killed the command crew. And just who designed that ship? "Let's put everything important into big open rooms, with cathedral-height ceilings, and no bulkheads. What could go wrong?"
 
Hap and Leonard turned out a lot better than I was expecting:

www.imdb.com

Clarkson's Farm: Real farmers share their views on the show

Clarkson's Farm was a huge success and series 2 is in the works. But, how realistic is the show? We asked the farmers from across the country

Clarkson is unbearable for me, totally ruined Top Gear (for me) by buying into his own crap. After a few false starts with radio DJ's and Matt LeBlanc from Friends, the BBC finally settled on a decent group for the revamped Top Gear, and it's as good as the old one ever was (especially once you puzzle out how heavily scripted their 'adventures' became on the old one). If you're interested, it's the ones with Paddy McGuinness (comedy actor best known for working with Peter Kay), Freddie Flintoff (ex-cricketer for England) and Chris Harris (car vlogger and race driver). Oh, and I still like James May a lot. His 'Our Man in...' series on Prime are great.

I've been on Crave heavily for the first time in a long time, with those HBO shows in heavy rotation. The Last of Us has been a mixed bag for me, with some really dull 'zombie' horror mixed with some really beautiful moments (episode three). If you want your post-apocalyptic TV slightly less grim, I can't recommend Station Eleven highly enough. Once you get past the seemingly insane pretence of a travelling company of Shakespearean actors in the post-apocalyptic timeline, it really hits home.

Another HBO series we loved was the second season of White Lotus. The first was a brilliant examination of the privileged and those in their orbit at a titular resort in Hawaii, made as a response to pandemic restrictions by having essentially a bottle show, rather than episode.

The second takes place at another White Lotus resort, this time in Sicily (they must've hired the BBC cameramen from the various Planet Earth series', as the landscape and ocean are stunningly beautiful). It kicks off with an unidentified body, so you spend the rest of the series guessing who dies. The acting is mostly amazing, and there's a LOT of sex (hi HBO), so definitely not a family show. But between the nuanced characters (including returning Jennifer Coolidge from Best In Show, Michael Imperioli from The Sopranos, Aubrey Plaza from Parks and Recreation, and F. Murray Abraham from Amadeus), the mystery of the death, and the examination of power and sex in relationships both transactional and committed, it's got a lot going on. Plus, it's a neat seven episodes, so not a massive time commitment. Oh, and there's a lot of truly beautiful people in it, so is easy in the eyes, whatever your preferences...
