The morning show is great.
Is the Essex Serpent any good, I thought the book was a bit slow and had a disappointing ending?
The Beastie Boys thing is good if you like them.

Cheers. I'd noticed the Morning Show, so will be giving that a watch.
Essex Serpent : I'd say the TV version matches the book in that case. One of those where you stick with it to the end just because you've put in the effort watching the first few, but it ended up feeling a bit of a chore.

Shining Girls is very good....stick with it till the end.
Blackbird is good as well but that has just started and they drop each episode each week so if you don't renew lol...well you can read the book. Severance is a slow burner,Ben Stiller directs,not a comedy as such but interesting.

Watching WWII in color: road to victory, it’s decent, but my GHod it’s American centric, to the point you start to question the “facts” being told! Should have known from the Title shot of a US flag being raised really!

Have you watched Ken Burns's the war? once again American-centric but brilliant.

Watched the Vietnam one with Ken Burns, absolutely brilliant.

Looks fun but don't like the "look she's better than hulk" vibe. That has to be earned even if it is a woman.

Any monster carp fans? Was worried for them when Ali Hamidi left but just finished the last season and it was really good. A touch over scripted sometimes, but funny none the less.

never read the Sandman and it's all a bit bonkers but i am quite enjoying it.
Yes iI agree, it is much better than I thought it would be, David Thewlis is good and the lead plays his part well. Just finished The Dropout, which I found a bit annoying. Incredible story though.

Looking forward to watching it - These days it's quite hard not being influenced by faux outrage on social media when anything of note comes out, everything is either trash or gold no in-between.
It's a laugh or cry thing for me, that so many are worked up by the oh so unthinkable presence of ethnic minorities playing roles in worlds inhabited by orcs/ dragons / magic. In a way I miss the old bigots, at least they were upfront in stating that black people or gay folk make them uncomfortable rather than unironically describing anything different as "woke".

I'm a Tolkien fan and really can't get into this at all, to jumpy and trying to build to many stories at once.

Yes I know what you mean. I’d prefer people wear their bias/bigotry on their sleeve out in the open rather than in secret. Then everyone knows what’s what. More chance of potentially changing their minds also if they are open about it rather than harbouring their feelings in private which could lead to resentment.
It’s just part of the culture wars stuff. Same with the left when they say it’s not right for a straight person to play the part of a gay person. It’s called acting! It’s also not practical. Would a closeted gay person have to come out of the closest and reveal their sexuality to be considered for the role. It’s completely impractical. Get the best person for the role. Doesn’t bother me that Ana De Armas is playing Marilyn Monroe even though she is Cuban. She’s fudging hot and a great actress! Jamie Foxx’s film has been shelved because RDJ is playing a Mexican. It’s ridiculous. I don’t care if there are no white actors in the black panther sequel and it shouldn’t bother people if it were the other way around. It’s entertainment at the end of the day not the census where everyone in the pie chart should need representation. I’m not against diversity, but not at the expense of the quality of the art itself. Hire the best people for the role. If they happen to be minorities then great I’ll support that.
