My Rating: ⭐ (1/5 stars)
Episodes: 1-10 | Aired: September 17, 2025 through November 19, 2025
I thoroughly enjoyed Season 1, found Season 2 to be decent, and thought Season 3 was lackluster but bearable. However, Season 4 was a disappointment, and I struggled to finish it. I didn't find it engaging and thought the plot was forced and unrealistic. I'm hesitant about watching Season 5, if it happens. Also, my free month of AppleTV has just expired.

Season Overview
I've just finished watching Season 5 of Slow Horses on Apple TV, with Gary Oldman delivering another stellar performance. The season was fairly average, not particularly memorable but not disappointing either. It would be intriguing to see a season focused on a younger Lamb and his fall to Slough House, providing a fresh narrative arc. My typical concerns with streaming series persist here: the six-episode format felt too brief, resembling a mini-series more than a traditional season. Moreover, the wait for the next installment could be lengthy, based on previous patterns.

Season: 3 | Aired: July 11, 2025 – September 12, 2025
Episodes: 1–10
Service/Network: Apple TV+
Season Overview
This season took the top spot, closely followed by the first. The second season didn't quite hit the mark. The plot twists this season were captivating, and I'm looking forward to what comes next. The characters this season displayed more complexity and depth. It was also fascinating to see the series weave in a secular version of a trinity concept to portray the governance of an empire, a bold move considering the author's reputed atheism.
Best Episodes
The best episode was undoubtedly the season finale, though the preceding three or four episodes were also quite strong.

After snagging a free month of Apple TV, I managed to binge-watch the second season of Silo. It was excellent. I'm really looking forward to Season 3 and hope they explore more of the backstory.
Best Episodes
The season finale stood out as the best episode. The whole season was truly remarkable.
– Episode 10: Into the Fire

I don't typically blog about every anniversary or special date. However, I have a soft spot for “this day in history” and similar themes. Yet, some memories from my youth, like Space: 1999, truly resonate with me. Watching it on Saturday afternoons or evenings, I always thought it was an incredible show. I even bought the 30-year complete edition on DVD.
🎬 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Season 3, Episodes 3–5
⭐⭐⭐½
No spoilers!
Continues to be a solid contender and, for me, the best of the Star Trek series on Paramount+ in this “new era.” 🎬
From Prime Video:
🎬 On Call – Season 1, Episodes 1–8
⭐⭐⭐
Spoilers
This one was okay. I didn’t expect it to be renewed. I watched the whole season; it had moments where it could have been brilliant, but overall it was just okay. I mostly had it on in the background, though a couple of episodes were really good. 🎬
🎬 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Season 3, Episodes 1–2 ⭐⭐⭐½ No spoilers!
I liked it overall, but I wasn’t thrilled that Season 2 ended on a two-part episode. 🎬
🎬 Tracker – Season 1, Episode 12 ⭐⭐⭐½ No spoilers!
This continues to be a solid series with a compelling storyline. Justin does a great job, along with his co-stars. 🎬
From Amazon Prime:
🎬 The Chosen – Season 5, Episodes 6–8 (Season Finale) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “No spoilers” doesn’t quite apply here—it’s based on the Bible.
This show continues to amaze me. The acting is phenomenal, and what a way to end the season. I can’t wait for the next—but I’m glad I already know how it ends. 🎬
🎬 Matlock – Season 1, Episodes 11–19 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
No spoilers!
I just finished the first season. What a different take on the original Matlock. Overall, I liked it and was really pleased that CBS decided to renew it for a second season.
You might remember I canceled my subscription to this service. Well, that’s true, but they offered me two months for 99 cents to come back. I figured, why not take Paramount+ up on the deal and finish the seasons I didn’t get to complete, including this show and the one below. 🎬
🎬 Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage – Season 1, Episodes 14–22 ⭐⭐⭐
No spoilers!
I finished the first season of this one too. I liked it. It fits nicely into the Big Bang Theory universe and is pretty enjoyable. I’m glad it got picked up for a second season as well. Nothing much more to say. It’s just a good show when you want something light and funny. 🎬
🎬 The Day of the Jackal – Season 1, Episodes 4–10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
No spoilers!
I finished the first season, and all I have to say is: Bravo.
There was action, mystery, intrigue—and more action. Some parts felt wildly exaggerated; I can’t imagine all of it happening outside the realm of TV drama. But other parts? Absolutely plausible—though more likely orchestrated by nation-states than rogue, non-state actors.
I hope they make a second season—there's definitely room for it. Maybe even a third. But no more than that.
As I said in a previous post, when it comes to TV, the British really know what they’re doing. 🎬
From Prime Video:
🎬 The Chosen – Season 5, Episodes 2–5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“No spoilers” doesn’t quite apply here—it’s based on the Bible.
Not much to say other than: Wow.
It’s been a great season so far—and with such incredible source material, how could it not be? 😊
Fantastic true story, outstanding acting.
Best series EVER. 🎬
🎬 The Day of the Jackal – Season 1, Episodes 1–3 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
No spoilers!
I’ve been under the weather this week—caught a summer cold and wrote about it over at mitchelltribe.com. Since I’ve been off work since Wednesday and mostly napping, I dove into a couple of series. This one’s on Peacock, and since I’m canceling the service in July, I’ve got to finish it before then.
That said—this show is really good. I’ve watched the first three episodes, and I have to say: the English seriously know how to make television. Right now, it's better than 98% of what’s coming out of the U.S.—with one exception I'll get to next. Eddie Redmayne is excellent in this, and all the characters are genuinely interesting. 🎬
From Prime Video:
🎬 The Chosen – Season 5, Episode 1 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“No spoilers” doesn’t quite apply here—after all, it's based on the Bible.
This season is diving into what I’d call fulfillment, sacrifice, and redemption. The casting is spot-on, and while I know not every detail is historically or biblically precise, the spirit and themes are respectfully portrayed. The creators, actors, and entire team are doing an outstanding job, and this is currently my favorite show. I’m glad they’re aiming for seven seasons—I’m especially curious how they’ll depict their take on Revelations. 🎬
