Binge-worthy: Farscape (1999)

Farscape is 'quirky', it's 'low budget', it's 'crazy' and 'not for everyone'. And it's one of my favorite shows of all time. "Farscape" is a captivating sci-fi series that premiered in 1999, created by Rockne S. O'Bannon and produced by the Jim Henson Company. The show follows astronaut John Crichton, who is accidentally transported through a wormhole to a distant part of the universe. He finds himself aboard a living ship named Moya, populated by a diverse crew of escaped prisoners. Together, they navigate the perils of this strange galaxy while being pursued by the relentless Peacekeepers, led by the formidable…

It’s Time For My Annual Binge of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I can't say enough how much I love this show. What started as a bastardized step-sister of the MCU, became its own thing starting in the second season and never looked back. It's a shame that the viewing audience abandoned the show by the middle of the first season and didn't hang around long enough to see the incredible wild ride it started in the middle of season 2. One of my favorite things is watching folks on YouTube discover the show and watch their reactions as they progress through the show and the show and awe as the show amps…
