Reviews:
Rick reviewed further episodes of the Halo series on Paramount+ & finds it continues to be good & very worth watching. Season finale will be in three days.
& Rick reviewed season 3 thus far of 'Resident Alien' on the Syfy Channel as he found himself enjoying the series, despite it being a sitcom. He likes Alan Tudyk as an alien very out of place in a picturesque small Colorado town. Worth your time.
& Rick reviewed 'Constellation', on Apple TV+, as almost done with its first season. The suspense / psychological thriller / SF plot is pretty easy to figure out, but still engrossing.
Ken reviewed 'Tim Travers & the Time Travelers Paradox', seen at Cinequest, as amazing. It's a comedy about a scientist who invents a time machine and decides to test the paradox of going back one minute and killing his younger self. He enjoyed it & hopes it gets a distributor; see = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14531116/
Yochanan reviewed the 3 episodes of 'The Time Traveling Bong', seen on Amazon as he cannot really recommend it, but he watched it. For more info check = https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Time-Traveling-Bong/0MW3FVPZLIUL7B766SXHZG201C
& he reviewed 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon' as pretty good, especially for a spin-off. He enjoyed it quite a lot & is glad that it looks as though it has been picked up for renewal. Highly recommended.
Craig reviewed going to a symphony at Davies Symphony Hall as it was amazing & highly recommended
