I was hoping all the mini stories would connect and weave into a bigger story. Like Babylon 5, where each year and a prewritten arc, or Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

The PlayStation series of the same name continued on the PS5. No idea if it will follow the plot of the game series.

I am really enjoying the series as its puts a human touch to the apocalypse.

It’s not bad. There’s little that propels me from one episode to the next, but it’s pretty well done on the whole so far (I have watched 7 episodes)
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

I have just rewatched the whole Sherlock series that was on the BBC some years ago. I do like Benedict Cumberbatch and I think Moffat is an excellent writer.

Aussies may be badly dressed criminals that continually cheat at cricket. However, they do some decent TV.

This is excellent.
