This goes back in time to the original finding of the stargate, and stars a character we all know lives and so cannot be in any danger at all ever.
This just comes across like short-episode fan fiction.
Remade into a “Feature Cut” film: Stargate Origins꞉ Catherine – (2018 show/movie)

Its first impression is that it’s sort of Star Trek parody-thing, it quickly unfolds into its own unique space-adventure-drama.
Fantastic originality and mood. Recommended, rapidly approaching highly recommended.
Verdict: While it’s good, it’s not great, at least not for me. I got bored in the first couple of episodes of season two. Definitely recommended for anyone who enjoyed the first several episodes.
Like other shows these days, I became interested in this purely because “those people” “hate” it.

An extended episode of Father Ted – (1995-1998 show).
It’s as great/awful as the rest of the show. You will like this as much as the show.

Two priests, exiled to an island in the middle of nowhere in Ireland, try to make due.
A mid-1990s British comedy with a laugh track. If you aren’t positive you can handle that, then pass. It has only a few moments, but is otherwise crap.

A cop from an authoritarian future is caught up in a daring time-travel jail-break, to become stranded in present-day Vancouver Canada.
Overall this is adequate, but with several plot points and character traits which are difficult to believe. The biggest problem I have is the various brushes against citizen-terrorism apologetics. My takeaway is that this show is “safe”, with some edginess fabricated for the kids.
