I’m from Boston and was 9 when this happened. It was insanity. I remember where I was when (spoiler alert) Charles offed himself. I was in school. I swear my teacher turned on the news and we watched them search for his body.
People called it the crime of the century. I remember thinking, “Wait, of the past 100 years?… Read more
S1 of Dr. Death was some horrifying entertainment, given it all actually happened. I didn’t know there was a plan for a second season, but the anthology thing should work if they bring the same level of quality to the new story. I just caught an article on the S2 real life doctor. Yikes. Read more
There’s a book from Amélie Nothomb; a french writer; called “sulphuric acid” which is about a game show that tries to emulate Auschwitz (where they absolutely kill people). I wonder if netflix is thinking about adapting the show from the book. (this is about how I feel about the squid game live show for context)

All the money they spent on this could have been better put towards producing more episodes of “The Floor is Lava” which is uncomplicated, stupid fun. Read more
During the summary of what happened over the past 10 years between season one thing caught my attention and the was Canada didn’t join the M7. While I can come up with different theories for why China didn’t I can’t think of any for Canada because they would have joined just to ensure they could maintain some sort of p… Read more

Why would anyone watch this when there’s a new season of Takeshi’s Castle out?

S1 of this show was completely under the radar for us until we saw promos and trailer for S2. So we watched and enjoyed a super fun ride. S1 could have used more snake killing. All through there are great performances from some very funny people, and a really fun premise. Read more
There were multiple episodes in that final season where in the middle of a Roman scene I was out loud saying "Culkin better get an Emmy for this." Narrowing down to one episode would be hard, but for me, either the ep where Logan dies and Rome is just in that weird fragile denial mode that felt very raw, or the… Read more
I hope Culkin, Snook and Macfadyen all win. Strong is amazing too, but he already won. I feel like actors who are considered ‘serious’ like Strong are always going to have advantage over Culkin as award contenders. This not a shade on Strong, who I repeat is always great, but on academy voters. Culkin has been… Read more
Haven’t seen this yet-but it does seem like Amazon’s smaller stuff is good. They just can’t seem to get the big stuff right. Power is great, so was The Peripheral, and Paper Girls...but they get ignored. Read more
This is more of a C+ than D+ but that was weird. I watched only the first episode and they crammed like at least 4 episodes of plots in just this one. No time to breath, know the characters, develop something. Madden is in his non spy life for maybe 5 mn. The writing is also really simplistic and silly. Citadel are… Read more
We could have had the rest of The Expanse plus more of A League of Their Own instead of this. Read more
Doing a rewatch of the series now in anticipation of season 3, and I just gotta say... Read more
