Mostley new shows starting this time around part from a classic I want to watch the whold way through…..
Moon Knight (S1)
As this has now finished I thought I would watch this one as it looks really interesting.
The series follows Steven Grant, a mild- mannered gift-shop employee, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life. Steven discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector. As Steven/Marc’s enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.

Stranger Things (S4)
This season has been so long coming. My youngest son is so obsessed with it.
It’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn’t made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down.

The Boys (S3)
This show is just so good, and nothing is off the table when it comes to showing carnage…. I don’t read the comics that this is based on, but looking forward where they go this season..
The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered individuals are recognized as heroes by the general public and work for a powerful corporation known as Vought International, which markets and monetizes them. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant, selfish, and corrupt. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the Seven, Vought’s premier superhero team, and the Boys, vigilantes looking to bring down Vought and its fake superheroes.
The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by the unstable and violent Homelander. At the start of the series, the Boys are joined by Hughie Campbell after the superhero A-Train accidentally kills his girlfriend while high on drugs. Elsewhere, the Seven are joined by Annie January, a young and hopeful heroine forced to face the truth about those she admires. Other members of the Seven include the disillusioned Queen Maeve, the insecure Deep, the mysterious Black Noir, and the white supremacist Stormfront. The Boys are rounded out by tactical planner Mother’s Milk, weapons specialist Frenchie, and superpowered test subject Kimiko. Overseeing the Seven is Vought executive Madelyn Stillwell, who is later succeeded by publicist Ashley Barrett.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (S1)
“Hello There…..“ I have really enjoyed The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett shows, so I’m expecting good things from this.
Ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)—in which the Jedi Order were destroyed by Order 66 and his former apprentice Anakin Skywalker became the Sith Lord Darth Vader—Obi-Wan Kenobi is watching over Vader’s son Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. Hiding on Tatooine, Kenobi lives a solitary life in exile. Darth Vader has set up the Sith Inquisitors program, a group of Dark Side Force users, to hunt down any Jedi who survived Order 66. Kenobi later leaves Tatooine to embark on a “rollicking adventure”.

Star Trek: Picard (S2)
I liked the first season, though I thought the ending was a bit weak… Will be interested if they adress it at all, or just get on with another story….
The second season of Star Trek: Picard features the character Jean-Luc Picard in the year 2401 when he and his companions are trapped in an alternate reality by Q as part of the ultimate trial for Picard. They must travel back to 2024 Los Angeles in a race against time to save the future of the galaxy.

Stargate SG-1 (S1-10)
This one is of course an old one as the series started in 1997. I think I have seen most of them over the years, but think I would like to work through them again..
The plot of Stargate SG-1 picks up a year after the conclusion of the events recounted in the original feature film. It follows the present-day adventures of SG-1, a military team from Earth. SG-1 and a dozen other SG teams venture to distant planets using an alien portal known as a Stargate, which in the series is housed in a top-secret United States Air Force military base known as Stargate Command (SGC) in the underground Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In the first eight seasons, the mission of the SG teams is to explore the galaxy and search for alien technology and allies to defend Earth against the Goa’uld, a snake-like parasitic alien race from planet P3X-888 that takes humans as unwilling hosts. As explained in the series’ backstory, the Goa’uld had transported human slaves from Earth to other habitable planets across the galaxy thousands of years ago and now pose as gods of old Earth mythologies, particularly Ancient Egypt. SG-1 eventually learns that highly evolved human-like beings, known as the Ancients, had originally built the Stargate network millions of years earlier, before ascending to a higher plane of existence, after which they pledged not to interfere in the lives of other species. The Ori, a faction of the same race as the Ancients who instead use their powers to subjugate other species by religious indoctrination, assume the role of the main antagonists in Season 9 and Season 10.
