I saw an advert for Under the Dome. Does anyone know if it was any good, and if it ran to conclusion?

We recently started Peacemaker and Chuck whilst waiting for all the episodes of the Mandalorian to be released.

Really enjoying Peacemaker but looks like another season isn't on the horizon for some time unfortunately.

Only watched the first episode of Chuck so far. Didn't recognise Serena Joy as the female protagonist until I looked up the cast, and Zachary Levi looks very different nowadays.

Warner Bros. Looks to Close Deal for ‘Harry Potter’ HBO Max Series

https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/harry-potter-hbo-max-series-warner-bros-closing-deal-1235572610/

Warner Bros. Discovery is looking to close a deal to produce a “Harry Potter” television series.

According to Bloomberg, which was first to report news of developing talks, the project would be directly based on J.K. Rowling’s best-selling book series, rather than an in-universe spinoff such as the “Fantastic Beasts” films.

Each season would reportedly draw from one of the books, suggesting an ongoing franchise that would stretch for years for the studio.

Would much prefer it was an animated season with an art style that looked like the artwork on the book covers.

It wasn't good. I can't even remember how it ended.

Wednesday - Season finale of Star Wars: The Mandalorian.
Thursday - Series finale of Star Trek: Picard. Season finale of The Ark.

I have been watching Big Sky, I find it very entertaining. A good story so far(I'm nearing the end of season 2), a couple of lead hotties and John Carroll Lynch.

Apparently there's (probably) going to be a new writer's strike - the Writers' Guild of America (WGA) membership has approved the strike by a 97.85% vote, unless they can come to an agreement by the end of the first of May. Should it go ahead, it's going to have a pretty big impact on a lot of programming.

"Mrs Maise" :lol:

Bloody brilliant programme though.

Did "Hello Tomorrow" bomb? The final episode has only recently gone up on Apple TV+, but it's nowhere to be seen in the top 15 trending / watched programmes on the service. And it's not like there is a lot of content there to begin with.

Shame if it did, I have really enjoyed what I have seen so far (up to episode 8).

Not sure where we talk about Ted Lasso but strawberry float me this week's is firing on all cylinders

1 hour flew by - make sure to check the cast list in the credits.
