TV & Film The TV Room

my honey has been watching (and therefore me by default) Star Trek: Enterprise again and we are in the first season - I do love every character on that show and I already was a big fan of Scott Bakula from Quantum Leap days

I started watching "Murder in a Small Town" and I am a few episodes in. So far I like it. It takes place in the small town of Gibsons on the coast of British Columbia which is a real town. The star is Rossif Sutherland, a son of Donald Sutherland. He is the chief of police.
"911" started a new season so I am watching that. It is one of my "regular" shows. There is a spinoff called "911: Nashville" so I have watched the first two episodes of that one. It's ok. I really like the original and this one may have to grow on me. It stars Chris O'Donnell as a fire fighter and Lee Ann Rimes as his evil ex.

"Sheriff Country" is a spin off of 'Fire Country" as the woman sheriff is Sharon's step sister and has been on "Fire Country". Bode made an appearance talking to his cousin, a young woman named Skye. It was good so it is added to my list.

Finished the murder bot diaries on Apple TV and read some of the reviews. I agreed with most of the reviewers in that the writers made some questionable choices but overall the show stayed true to the source material and was enjoyable. And of course - the books were better.

Marcella on Netflix has been my "watching only at the gym" tv show. More than halfway season two. and there is a season 3 now, too

I'm having trouble finding other stuff to watch. Oh there is plenty of shows in my. queue but none of them are sticking out.

So I have this weird thing where I like to listen to audio books that I already read as regular books.

I just discovered (or maybe they just added) on Hoopla a lot of the Dresden Files novels as Dramatized Adaptions. I loved the books - read all 17, in the series. Hoopla has a lot of them in their catalog.

I recall when the Dresden Files were made into a tv show on the Sci Fi channel. I didn't watch the show for very long. I have sort of a pet peeve when a tv show based on a book wanders too far from the source material. Not all the time, for instance I had no problem with Lessons in Chemistry adding and changing some stuff. In that case I thought they did a good job.

But I had all kinds of complaints about the way they did the Dresden Files adaption. Starting with casting, tv harry wasn't tall enough, and the TV Murphy wasn't short enough, or blonde. If it was just that I probably could have lived with it. But they lost Harry's duster, replaced his staff with a hockey stick, and his blasting rod with a drum stick. I might have been ok with that because walking around in a duster with a staff might be just too weird in mid town Chicago. But then they sort of made Harry less of a wizard and more of a clever PI. They also changed a lot of the plots.

Although I noticed this time around some of the quotes in the tv show's narration come right out of the book.

Anyway I found the old TV show on the Roku Chanel which I get for free - so I started watching it again. Not sure how far I'll get this time.
