This is the one with the Horta (a silicon-based alien that looks a bit like a lumpy pizza):

This is reportedly William Shatner's favourite Trek episode. Later on, an early episode of Next Generation tried to do something similar.

Just finished an epic binge of all 12 seasons of New Tricks - which aside from being decidedly non-PC in humor, twisty in plots, and a showcase for every veteran UK character actor you can think of -- managed the neat trick of replacing every major character/actor from the pilot without dropping in quality (IMHO) or quirkiness.

New Tricks was a fun show for sure. Dennis Waterman was our favorite, very sorry to see that he died in 2022...

Yeah. Hubster never loved NT, but I did. I've binged it several times. Very good show and I very much liked the utter lack of PC, which I'm sure is well-known to everyone here. :-)

I watched the last two epis for this season of that After Paradise or Beyond Paradise or whatever. JUST when I was starting to like this season, thinking "oh, thank god, they made it less soapy and more DIP," sure enough, the soap just poured on down. I won't mention it all, b/c I don't want to spoil it for the rest of you, but damnation, they just CANNOT resist, can they? Sheesh.

Less soapy soap, more murder. Cozy murder, granted, but murder nonetheless. More detecting.

Baby Reindeer, on Netflix. It'a heavy watch, but still interesting.

Wednesday night I watched American Fiction and started In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon (2 parts) on Prime Video. Still watching Paul Simon now.

Acceptable Risk was an excellent IMO 2017 Irish miniseries. Now the same people have made Hidden Assets, at least as good if not better. An Irish CAB agent (Criminal Assets Bureau) busts a small-time drug dealer and finds a fortune in diamonds and the deed to a $million flat in Antwerp, where a terrorist bombing has just occurred. Her investigation leads to her teaming up with the Antwerp inspector on that case. It's pure detective work, refreshingly free of personal drama, sex and gratuitous violence.

We watched the Spanish series I Know Who You Are, half soap opera and half mystery - not great but we made it through the 16 long episodes.

Then the French The Awakening, not sure how to describe and apparently canceled before explaining anything.

and Lakeside Murders, a decent series from Finland.

Now starting another French series Munch which looks promising.
