Mr Bates vs the Post Office - Starring Toby Jones and an evil group of bastards
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27867155

The postmaster horizon system immediately went wrong, it couldn't calculate correctly. But instead of the maker Fujitsu fixing the problem, the senior managers at the post office decided to wholly believe the computer and prosecute postmasters. The figures are staggering, some village post offices were down thousands of pounds per week, more than their actual value of transactions that week. Example, a post office was down by £8,000. Yet all transactions for a week was £5,000 so how can a post office be down so much in a week?

The cover up has taken over 20 years to unravel, and the senior managers are still free and haven't suffered any legal action, despite knowing that innocent people went to prison for a fault they knew about and worse still for crimes that didn't exist. Let that sink in, it was a computer fault, the crime didn't exist. Yet some of these innocent people even paid the shortages out of their own bank accounts. Some lost tens of thousands of pounds, liberty, freedom, jobs and some even commit suicide.

Yet senior managers are still free and still legally protected.

Reacher Season 2
Not as good as the first, definitely good though.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9288030

There were a few post on Facebook about the usual wokeness in season 2, personally I didn't see ANY of it.

The original Penny in The Big Bang Theory was Amanda Walsh. The pilot for the show was turned down by everyone, every studio.
The rewrite and recasting obviously made a huge difference. Hence why pilots are so important.

From

Another excellent TV show that's just finding it's way forward and doing a great job along the way, gets cancelled. If not cancelled, shelved for a long time. It's been nearly 2 years now.

3 Body Problem
I'm really looking forward to this, I watched a synopsis on YouTube, it was over 4 hours long!!! But it sounds amazing, and I have the audiobook on my wishlist ready to go.

Quantum Leap (2022) The modern remake.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17043230
My expectations were quite low, after all the original was really something special. But it's actually really quite good, the IMDB score doesn't do it justice. It's a bit sentimental, but so was the original. That's what made it good.
