Yep absolutely bat shit, and maybe I just have some weird affinity for crazy chicks but god damn did I find her smoking hot throughout the entire show.

The English. Totally not what I was expecting from a Western.

Has Fleischman is in Trouble just stayed off everyone's radar, or is it actively repellant to others? I know it's not groundbreaking, but it is fascinating to my mind. It's up my alley as one of those shows where everyone's an utter asshole AND incomprehensible saint in turn, where they parcel out the nuances and details that make up people in an intricate and engrossing manner. I know the writing that originated it made a big splash, but it doesn't seem like anyone is talking about it as a series. Maybe people are exhausted with the notion of navel-gazing and meditating on the human condition in this manner. But I still find it one of the more fascinating shows of the year.
Somewhere between Woody Allen and This is Us.

Started The Watcher, last night. First episode was at least interesting to see where it's going. Last night I even dreamed about buying an old house.

I don't know how I'm going to feel about the conclusion of the show, but the interim is damned enthralling. It is an interesting choice that the Libby character is the narrator for the story. The writing is pretty tight, and there is some facepalmy stuff when Eisenberg gets preachy. I don't know if that was the intention or not. Bot some of it is pretty tight like the comment about "I make 300K that would be a great living anywhere except the 40 blocks you insist we live." Most of the dialogue is really tight. The 90's stuff is cheeky enough to be funny and keep it light. Eisenberg does a really REALLY good job on the performance. Same with Lizzy Caplan and Claire Danes, plus a TED sighting. It wound me up enough I restarted Homeland to get some more Claire Danes Action. She was really good. Damned compelling even. Anyway, it's a nice look at the nuance of humanity. |

1899: rate at a 7
Just finished it. No spoilers and there are a few twists. For me it was hard to follow. There too many wrinkles. If you are watching an episode and wanting it to end, doesn't bode well. They are the same people who made Dark. I haven't watched it yet. But is has rave reviews. I don't think it is my style of movie. |

Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities is a fun watch. If you haven't seen it, think "Tales from the Crypt" but with Del Toro's world rebuilding.
There's some interesting tales and some really cool creatures. More on the horror side of things than thriller.

Honestly? If you're referring to The Devil's Hour, the best 'basics' to give you ahead of time is that it's good, really good, and pays off rather than petering out.
It's not 'dependent' on twists and turns, but they're there and enhance the experience if consumed organically. Broadest strokes possible, it's a procedural mystery of the modern British sort that presents a mystery to the audience as well, and involves a 'mastermind' type in custody with the interrogations and revelations you would expect of a procedural with a mastermind in custody. Disregard if you're talking about Midnight Mass, as I haven't seen it and am not referring to it. ![]()
