Carter (2018)
Set in Canada but with US culture.
Apparently, in Carter world Canada follows US laws. Carter shoots a girl with an illegally obtained gun. No consequences except his cop girlfriend tells him she'll train him? What? Next episode guy opens up his jacket to show a bomb underneath threatening to blow up a different guy. The cop girl does nothing. Turns out it's a skit, doesn't arrest him for making a bomb threat, irrelevant whether it's a hoax or not. I get the whole amateur sleuth being smarter than the cops genre, don't like it, but I get it. Hallmark does us a disservice but making everywhere USA lite. Man, if Canada was really like this I'd move back to the UK.
The Inspectors (2015)
NCIS for Mailmen!
I'm a mailman so I'm biased and yes this is a bit cheesy but it does highlight the important work the Postal Inspection Service does and human stories behind their employees. It also provides meaningful lessons for young people (and old ones too). Don't mess with the Inspectors!
Call the Midwife: Episode #7.4 (2018)
Did they forget something?
Classy as always but the PC acceptance of a bigamous relationship, which was then and still is illegal in Britain, is jarring to say the least. I can't believe the law abiding doctor wouldn't have had something to say about the situation, he's the one who would have to sign the birth certificate.
Lost in Space (2018)
Fun but no scientific basis
It's very action oriented. Love the robot but the emphasis is on the fiction not the science. First, water doesn't freeze from the bottom up. It also expands as it freezes. Bye bye Judy. There's a black hole about to eat the planet, which it seemingly does every orbit because the trees only have one ring. Life takes billions of years to evolve not one orbit. The black marketeers dude has been to Alpha Centauri multiple times. Huh? I they needed to get off earth post haste. It would take hundreds of years to get to Alpha Centauri if not thousands at current or near future technology. Enjoy the fun and games and forget any semblance of scientific accuracy.
