Reviews are pretty good, and it's interesting. From the past, people begin appearing mysteriously, coming out of the water in a flash of light into a modern-day Norway. All these people come from the distant past, so one has quite a few Vikings and others from 2 other different epochs in Norway's history, who are all roaming around in the present day. Most of the series takes place about 7 years later. This is also a global phenomenon, and the series centres around Oslo, the police, and a Viking warrior, Alfhildr, (a woman ) who finds a job as a police officer, and partners up with a detective, and then it becomes a crime series.

"In the near future a new phenomenon starts happening all over the world with powerful flashes of light occurring in the ocean and people from the past mysteriously reappearing. Called “beforeigners,” these people come from three separate time periods: the Stone Age, the Viking era and late 19th century. A couple of years later, Alfhildr – who comes from the Viking Age – has to partner up with a burned-out police officer, Lars Haaland, to investigate the murder of a beforeigner. The pair begins to unravel a larger conspiracy behind the origin of the mysterious mass arrivals."

What fun - combining two of my favourite kinds of TV series: crime/mystery and sci-fi.

In some respects, it reminded me of the sci-fi series, "Alien Nation". Anyways, I am enjoying this series.

I loved this series. It's so cool, the early Celtic stone-age seeming folks mixing with the modern folks. I love how she uses moss for her period, all those little touches to contrast the different periods. I also liked how tough and yet emotionally open the women are.

Earlier today, I watched the last episode (10th) in the first season of Star Trek: Picard, I loved it.

And, the reason I am mentioning it was that I also watched (this afternoon) the first episode of the sci-fi mini-series "Devs" - If you have seen Picard, you will remember Dr. Jurati (Alison Pill) - she also plays Katie in Devs. It was kinda strange to move from one series to another series and see the same person in both. (lol)

I watched Devs on FX, which is in one of my cable bundles. (It is associated with Hulu).

"A computer engineer (Lily) investigates the secretive development division in her company, which she believes is behind the disappearance of her boyfriend."

Reviews are really good, and I am enjoying it. It's a sci-fi series, but has a mystery/crime element. Music is interesting and the locals are beautiful, San Fran and beautiful nature scenery. It got me hooked 'cause you aren't told what Devs actually is, and that is also part of the mystery.

Valhalla murders, on Netflix. A couple of episodes in…

Fairly pedestrian murder mystery but set and shot in Iceland. The almost monochromatic color scaling and stark aesthetics of the landscape are really the show. In Icelandic with subtitles.

I was looking for something kind of warm and fuzzy after watching all the virus news today. This definitely isn’t it. A good distraction different from the rest of the stuff out there though.

A true story about a gay activist guy living a threesome lifestyle who decides – Oh how I love Jesus I must be straight, and now that I think about it monogamous too. Then joins the LDS church, comes to hate it, and leaves. Which compels his bestie/girlfriend/fiance, to split with the church. And then he starts his own church. With her as his first disciple. I'm pretty sure this is the same one I read about who was gay for awhile, then became an ex-gay and then went back to being gay again. If so I don't if he's still holding church services. Maybe he is just now he preaches for MCC.

I watch "Criminal" on Netflix.., I find it incredibly well written, absorbing and, without all the excess of most crime dramas, totally addictively, binge worthy.

The Brits just do this stuff so very well. Give it a minute and you will be riveted and hooked.
