Wow! LOVED the premiere! What a running start, quite literally, the show is off to. Love the casting, the acting, the production values, Bradley!!!!! Wow, all of it is just amazing, please let is stay as good or even get better!

ETA: As of March 2016 this is now on my 'meh' list. What's with the animated sequences, Bollywood dancing, ridiculous code names, it feels like a new showrunner has taken over and decided to target this at teenagers. I'd google to find out but as I said, 'meh' - am no longer watching. Brian and his cardigan have entered another universe and I am not going along for the ride. Shame. I really enjoyed this lighthearted show but there's a difference between lighthearted and writing the script whilst high!

Wow! Just, wow, what a show, on-the-edge-of-your-seat medical drama that turned these med dramas on their heads, just as Hill Street Blues paved the way for ALL other cop shows, today we wouldn't have Grey's Anatomy without ER. The best med drama, ever.

I have been waiting for this show for months and now it's here I'm struggling to get through the first half of the pilot episode. I'm determined to persevere and will update my review once I've watched all the eps. Please let it be fantastic!

Love this show, great cast and the two leads are fantastic. Good concept for a cop procedural, a break from the rest of the usual step-by-step shows. Now watching the new season (summer 2015) and this show just gets better and better!

Love this ! I've never watched Star Trek before, really, I haven't. I absolutely LOVE this show. I've just binge watched the first five episodes and each of them is fantastic. I don't know much about the mythology but I'm happy to learn as this is brilliant. A compelling watch with great plots and such good actors. : )

Love this! I was, and still am, a massive fan of 'The Unit' and Seal Team reminds me of it so much, only with a larger elite unit. I enjoyed the first episode as it set up the characters, plots and backstories but absolutely loved the second and third episodes - all that I've seen so far. Not surprised it's already been renewed for a full season. Boreanaz rools!

Bitchy, bitchy. A good, British (no holds barred) laugh.

Absolutely thrilled this outstanding tv show is back - and it's so good!!! (2017)
What would you do to get your brother out of prison? I hughly doubt most of us would go as far as Michael did. The first season was exceptionally well written and the characters were so diverse in the prison that I was just captivated.

February 2017's episode gets 5 stars for me because they did the most heartfelt tribute to the late George Michael. Andrew Ridgeley, Pepsi and Shirlie struggled to read out their thoughts and feelings on losing their beloved friend and I just cried throughout, especially, when Shirlie struggled to keep her composure. I think Chris Martin is a genius but when they then played George Michael singing, that was me in floods of tears, his smooth, strong, pitch perfect voice, for me, surpassed everyone in his generation and although it was hard to watch him on video knowing we won't ever see him live on stage again, it felt like, finally, a real tribute by people who knew him for most of their lives, had been done.

If anyone is interested, Andrew, Pepsi and Shirlie were later interviewed in Shirlie's dressing room by her son Roman Kemp (Capital Radio) and that was sweet as George was his godfather. It's online, easily found.

For the February 2017 59th Grammy Awards.
Five stars because during all the awards and fun, the Grammys will also be honoring music legends. My beloved George Michael and the genius that was Prince. I was too young to be that aware of Wham but wow, when he started his solo career I was all in. That beautiful, mellifluous voice of his, his cheeky sense of humor, the fact that in concert you felt George was talking just to you. I still cannot comprehend that we lost George Michael on Christmas Day and I know that the grief I feel is felt by millions around the world.His last live album, Symphonica at the Palais Garnier (he and the orchestra rehearsed for a full year) was nothing short of sublime. His voice was in perfect form (when did you ever hear him not sing well!?!) and his producing and editing skills were shown off to perfection.

Prince in concert was visually and acoustically stunning, I remember being astonished at how casually he played the guitar and man, those were difficult riffs. All those costume changes...wow. Friends of mine stayed up all night trying to work out the drum sequence of just one of his songs, it was that complicated (they still haven't managed it!). He is and will always be remembered as an artist, not only a musician and I believe, just my opinion, that also applies to George Michael.

Losing George Michael at Christmas is still raw, overwhelming and my heart aches. But, he would want the special tribute to him to be about fun, not tears. Prince was also intensely private, I don't know what he would have wanted but I hope that the Grammys and the singers/performers pay both artists the respect they earned throughout their lifetimes.

I loved and will miss them both.

Both artists were superb lyricists, I never fail to well up when I hear 'My Mother had a Brother' and I love 'When Doves Cry' different songs, both exceptional, like their lyricists.

We lost so many musicians and singers over the past year and it seems, from previews, that they will be honored together, with Prince and George Michael receiving separate tributes.

James Corden (Smithy!!!). George was his first carpool Karaoke and if you haven't seen it then get thee to a video site to watch the two of them have so much fun for the UK's Comic Relief. It's sheer brilliance. I guess this will be a fun yet bittersweet night for James Corden as he admired George Michael so much.

Too long a review, the show isn't even on yet but I only had a very short sentence to describe how I felt for the sentence you'll see on the right side of the page over the next week. George Michael became such a huge part of this girl's life and his music and lyrics impacted on me so much that I wrote only about him. ♥ ♥

I'll update this, just for myself really, after the show.
