Remember the original twilight zone, and give this movie some credit for reviving the eeriness, quirkiness and scariness, in which it succeeds. Begins boldly with a great actor,Vic Morrow (R I P) and his child companions, and ends strongly with the ever impressive John Lithgow. Enjoy.

Resident Evil
(2022)
Call it anything else but ResiEvil.
19 July 2022
Don't like the change in long established characters, liked the actors though and the usual monsters and zombies, hence the three stars. Story was okay too. I continue to watch, but in my mind its a completely new show, I'm going to call it Reside in Evil,lol.
Murder in Provence
(2022– )
Midsomer in France.
17 July 2022
Yes,very enjoyable easy viewing, thanks to the chemistry between the leads Allan and Carroll and the beautiful location. I agree with many people that compare this to Midsomer Murders, but with a continental setting. This series could go on for several years. There's also people commenting on British actors playing French characters, do they have the same problem with Maigret, Rowan Atkinson, its not an issue with me. Bad dubbing or subtitles is an issue with me. Enjoy.
Star Trek
(1966–1969)
All time best Space Opera.
13 July 2022
Gene Roddenberry was a mastermind creating this timeless space opera. But it was the actors that really carried it off, and made the series and themselves famous, and deservedly so. Leonard Nimoy, De forest Kelley, and William Shatner, who must take a lot of credit for making us tune in regularly. Things could have been so different if the wooden Jeff Hunter had been allowed to stay aboard the Enterprise. This original opera did not complete its five year mission, but there are many variations to enjoy, from Next Generation onwards.
Kill Command
(2016)
If this was made in the Eighties, would have been a classic.
4 July 2022
I agree with another reviewer, this movie feels like a very eighties action/horror/drama. Thats why i loved it. Even the trailer says Predator meets Terminator, although the two stand out actors in this, Vanessa Kirby and Lindt Thurberg I would swop for Bladerunner actors Daryll Hannah and Rutger Hauer. A likeable cast, good story and great production, you should be entertained.
Kimble is still a doctor.
17 June 2022
I agree with other comments, why would Kimble stick with a guy who clearly has personal issues? And is therefore a liability to their freedom. But we are forgetting Kimble is still a doctor at heart and his fellow fugitive being injured means he is obliged to stay and help. Its only until the other fugitives girlfriend turns up, Kimble feels she can take over his well being, and he can break away. Some good performances in this one, especially Ed Nelson has Kimbles partner on the run.
Space: 1999
(1975–1977)
UK version of Star Trek.
15 June 2022
This Star Trek wannabe is a lot of fun. Its also a lot of nonsense regarding the science, but you don't watch it for that. Its the main characters performances, Martin Landau, Barry Morse and Barbara Bain ( I never rated Bain highly though, I seen more emotion in a waxwork!).Some great guest stars along the way; Brian Blessed, Leo McKern,Peter Bowles and Catherine Shell to name a few.(Shell would become the shape shifter in Year Two). Terrific model work for its day, every kid wanted an Eagle at the time. So have a slice of Seventies nostalgia, have a laugh, but beware there are scary moments,don't watch Dragons Domain with the lights off.
Young Beau in trouble again.
26 April 2022
Beau Bridges plays a troubled son again,he had already done so in the previous season,so his performance obviously impressed the producers. He is supported by the brilliant John Larch, a domineering father, in his last appearance in this show, and other good guest stars( like Campenello). Good story, but would have liked the action moved on to the hospital, with Sheriff Corby insisting Kimble stay with his son until they were in the reception room. With cops chasing and maybe already waiting there would have endangered Kimble even more.
Kimble was really lucky he got away!
13 April 2022
Boy! Even in real life there would have been no contest physically between Jannsen and Bronson. Charles would have beaten the crap out of David if he had tried to escape. However this is a family show, so that kind of violence isn't shown and there's little aggression between them. In fact the Goliath that Bronson can be is helped by David, when a fire breaks out on the boat.
Cowboy Bebop
(2021)
Some good bits and John Choo.
13 April 2022
Yeah it was okay. The CGI and graphics were amazing, and there was good chemistry between the main players. John Choo especially cool. Its based on anime so you wouldn't expect a deeply involving story, and I swear I heard a Blade runner rip off soundtrack. But give it a try, you might like it more. Shame it was cancelled.
Deadline
(2022– )
Cold start. Hope it heats up.
6 April 2022
I guess you rarely go in the deep end, you need the first episode to set the mood. That's where this age old plot is going, for example instead of James D arcy , think James Stewart in Vertigo. I stick with it because the clips for the second episode looks like the temperature rises a lot. And D arcy ,speak up! I can hardly hear you.
Why didn't they just let Kimble go at the start?
28 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This runaround, cloak and dagger type episode doesn't make a lot of sense. Early in the story when Dr Kimble's discovers his hotel rooms been searched he packs his bag and makes a run for it. At this point he hasn't really seen anything to do with the secret tests, so why point a gun at him and keep him hanging around? Anyways, Kimble was lucky in one way that it was the military holding the tests, and they' re honourable men, if it were some shady government types he would have been driven to the desert and shot in the head.
Crooked House
(2017)
A different cast could have improved things.
20 February 2022
I've read on Wikipedia the original cast for this production were not used and its always a case of what if? Having said that the movies well made and it passes the time. Max Irons gives a good performance as one of Christies less well known investigators.
Quatermass and the Pit
(1967)
Childhood favourite.
11 February 2022
This movie version of Quatermass and the Pit scared the cr** as a kid. Along with many Hammer films and classic Dr Who at the time. I still watch it now, every time, like all my other favourite movies. The special effects are very dated and would be nice to have an anniversary DVD release with CGI instead.😃
Blood Money.
10 February 2022
When Dr. Kimble finds out his wife's family are broke, he believes there's a way he can help with their finances. Its more back story for Kimble's character, and his interaction with his dead wife's family holds your attention. Its well acted but the good doctors escape is a let down, and not realistic. Watch the episode and you see what I mean.
Father figure.
17 January 2022
This is a great episode with a clever set up. Gerrard's son( a teenage Kurt Russell) is kept hostage, by accident, by Doctor Kimble. But he's in no real danger, other than his own making, as Kimble takes a fatherly approach to his young captive. Feeding him and giving him shelter, and helping him when he's trapped. There's a great cast, including Russell's real life father Bing, and the location filming is beautiful. Enjoy.
No skating round this one...
3 January 2022
This is a good episode, with some great performances ,especially from Tim O Connor. The stories where we had glimpses into Kimble's past were always interesting and strengthened his characterisation. This one we find out he is pretty fast on roller skates!
Could have been the finale.
15 November 2021
This is a convoluted affair, albeit with a great cast ( the excellent William Windom), and the terrific trio are here, Kimble/Johnson/ Gerard. But the main thing is Johnsons confession to murdering Kimbles wife being taped, which is more compelling than the finale we got, where another character is brought in to testify witnessing the event. Someone should have been guarding the tape room!
Tomorrows rerun?
10 November 2021
Good episode, lots going on,but it feels like a cheaper and less involving rerun of A Taste of Tomorrow. This was problematic of the Fugitive where lazy writing rehash
ed previous episodes, thinking we wouldn't notice!
Love or Fear?
10 November 2021
Great episode, Joanna Moore had a bigger part this time around as the sympathetic nurse helping Dr. Kimble. Some great location filming too in the rail yard, but its all about the One Armed Mans girlfriends dilemma, is it real love or fear of him that will decide her not giving/or giving him up?
Special needs.
10 November 2021
This is a great episode, Denny Miller(Willie) is awesome, in every way. But his portrayal of a young man with special needs is very well done and not over the top,in fact he should have been nominated for an Emmy. The rest of the cast are good,and the direction, although I feel Dabney Coleman was underused this time around..
Outta Sight!
10 November 2021
This was one of the Fugitive episodes I always kept missing on terrestrial TV, finally watched today on YouTube and wasn't disappointed. Its amazing! Could be possibly my favourite of season four, great cast, but the direction is spot on. The tension in the warehouse where Dr Kimble is stalking the One Armed Man is palpable, and David Jannsen playing a blind man is very well done, not over the top like other commentators have mentioned. Would liked this to have been part one of the finale, because we also have a local detective here who actually seems sympathetic to Kimble's case, and could make arguments with Lt. Gerard when he arrived over the possibility of the Docs innocence. Watch and enjoy 👍
Its a bad kingdom.
8 November 2021
But good episode, good cast, Harry Townes ( excellent as ever) Kim Darby and a young Tom Skerritt ( famous for being the Captain of the ill fated Nostromo, Alien). Agree with other commentators that Townes sudden change of character at the end seems unrealistic, but overall its worth watching.
Not so cosy cabin in the woods.
5 November 2021
Kimble gets caught amongst robbers held up in a cabin. This is a great episode full of tension with a great cast, James Broderick, Georgann Johnson, Ed Asner and many others. Plus the location filming is quite beautiful.
Finally Gerard doubts begin!
4 November 2021
This is a fantastic episode with some great performances. But the highlight is all about Gerard's doubt beginning over Kimble's conviction. After Kimble saves him again, he comments that the doctor is different to Brame, he has done the one murder he will ever do. Maybe he hasn't murdered any one Lieutenant...
