Good-but lacked the humour of the original series. Still as good as anything else right now. Looks like it will be next year before Season 2 airs-bit of a spoiler that Maddie is in Season 2!
The Lincoln Lawyer was enjoyable-for me, better than the books.

This is on the new Paramount+. Free as part of the Sky Movies package.
Tried the series. Not for me. Whereas my Wife loves it.
Amazon Prime Video just got a big upgrade it’s been sorely missing
I think that people will probably take a different view of the subscription channels in the future. There always seem to be loads of free trial offers for Apple TV available. I got 12 months for buying a new phone, another 3 months through Sky VIP, Barclaycard are always doing offers. I have just started the Sky 3 month trial. By the end of this I will have watched everything I wish to watch. It will therefore be pointless continuing with the subscription. However I could see myself paying an Apple TV subscription for a month, maybe this time next year, depending on what they have to offer. I have recently completed trials with other subscription channels, with the same result. So this may be the way forward. Opting in and out of subscription channels. Opt in to one for a month at a cost of around a fiver. Opt out at the end of the month, and opt in somewhere else. This would enable you to pick out their good stuff at a minimal cost, before moving on. I see my main channels as Sky, Prime, and Netflix. I could see myself topping this up with an additional channel on a monthly basis. This would obviously have the effect of creating a bit of a library, by recording programmes from your regular channels, while concentrating on the additional one, and enabling you to watch the various episodes when you want to, rather than when the TV companies want you to. I would be happy to find 10 or 12 subscription channels that I could subscribe to for one month on an annual basis. This would give them time to find more new stuff before you subscribed again.
I dont know if you have noticed that Prime now have a "my subscriptions" tab, which shows the streaming channels available, and those that allow a free trial. I will probably work my way through them to find any programmes that I wish to watch that are unavailable on the channels that I already have access to.

Underbelly (TV series)
Synopsis The first series is based on the book Leadbelly: Inside Australia's Underworld, by journalists John Silvester and Andrew Rule. The series also borrows the title 'Underbelly' from a previously successful series of 12 true crime compilations by the same authors. Three direct tie-in novels, based on the first three seasons, were also later published by the same authors as part of this series, and a separate 16th book (Underbelly: The Golden Casket) was published in 2010.[1] The fourth series is based on the book Razor by crime author Larry Writer, which was subsequently republished as a tie-in.[2] A fifth tie-in novel, by Andy Muir, was published for the final series. Despite being part of the Underbelly series, the first 12 books have never been republished with the famous Underbelly logo, and the logo was only used from books 13 to 18 (including Golden Casket and the republishing of Razor).
The fifth series, Underbelly: Badness, is based on Sydney underworld figure Anthony "Rooster" Perish, his brother Andrew and their associates. It is set between 2001–2012, and broadcast from 13 August 2012.[3] This is the only season that did not receive a 'tie-in' novel.
A sixth series titled Underbelly: Squizzy, based on the events surrounding Joseph "Squizzy" Taylor and set between 1915 and 1927, began airing on 28 July 2013.
Three telemovies called The Underbelly Files aired in 2011. Tell Them Lucifer was Here is about the 1998 murders of Victorian police officers Gary Silk and Rod Miller and the subsequent manhunt for their killers. Infiltration is about the story of Australian police detective Colin McLaren's infiltration of the Calabrian Mafia in Griffith, New South Wales which saw dozens of underworld figures imprisoned The Man Who Got Away tells the story of David McMillian, a drug smuggler and the only Western man to ever escape from Bangkok's Klong Prem Central Prison. All three aired on the Nine Network in February 2011.[4]
In September 2011, a New Zealand version of the series premiered on TV3, titled Underbelly NZ: Land of the Long Green Cloud. The six-part mini-series was the first Underbelly production to be produced and financed outside of Australia. The series detailed events beginning in the late 1960s to and throughout the 1970s and told the origin of the Mr Asia drug syndicate and its original leader Marty Johnstone. The series is somewhat a prequel to the series A Tale of Two Cities. An American version has also been announced on the network channel Starz though nothing else has been confirmed.
