Colony (2016)
Great series - Needs a season 4.
Loved this. It's allied to 'V' in some ways but I really like the depth of the human deception and the whole, 'who's on what side' vibe. I thought I would be annoyed by having such little interaction from the host aliens but actually, the human behaviours and dialogue was enough to keep these gripping, interesting and a change from some of the typical science fiction storylines.
There's some real human nature stuff in here too and Proxy Snyder is, personally, I feel one of the best and most complex characters. You are constantly left wondering about him.
I'm amazed they haven't moved on with a series 4...and hope the likes of Netflix perhaps see's a route to take us to the next stage of the story...arguably, the most enlightening and a chance to get to know the 'hosts' and their enemies, alongside seeing how humans fair in the battle ahead.
Schitt$ Creek (2015)
A slow star leads to a series you'll fall for.
Clever, witty and thoughtful dialogue underpins a fine cast and a group of characters you become close to. Moira's character is brilliant and her one liners just immense. Entwined in the plot is a striking humbleness which tells a 'things can come good' tale whilst also delivering, very subtly, great, honest and seamless integration of different relationships. It became compulsive viewing for my wife and I, as we simply became devoted. An absolute gem.
