I need something to watch while crafting because none of my current options are holding my interest, which means I don't do the crafting. I'm probably going to rewatch something I know I enjoy, but though I've narrowed my choices a bit, I can't decide. Help me choose?

3 (21.4%)

For context, I’ve always been interested in watching Blake 7 so this is a natural vote.

A dark horse recommendation. Would you consider something like the sandbaggers?

[darchildre]

It's a qualified recommendation (because, as I say, I haven't finished it) but what I have seen of Blakes 7 is great and you should try it if you are so inclined!

I'm not familiar with The Sandbaggers - tell me about it?

[soemand]

It’s a spy drama from the late 70s starring Roy Madsen. The title is from the spies the Roy character runs, on missions that are highly sensitive.

The costumes are delightful, the ties!

I recommend it since while the production value is low, the writing is complex and suspension of disbelief is readily obtained. Suspenseful to the max.

[darchildre]

That sounds really cool - thanks very much for the recommendation!

Started tonight. Getting the «britbox» on appleTv (free for 7 days!) to get a handle on it.

Did the first episode tonight, trés good!

I adore Sapphire and Steel. It's so slow and motionless and weird to start, but it grew on me till the end I was just freaked the fuck out and fascinated at the same time. I've never really seen anything like it.

It's such a uniquely weird show! I've tried to sell it to several friends over the years and completely failed because it entirely defies description and there's nothing else like it. I love it very much.

But the emotions are such... emotion emotions for farscape!!! Like I wouldn't call them good but they sure are... emotions. That happen. Strongly. Nice to feel something!
