    Currently watching Westworld.

    I have to admit, I didn't see that Episode 8 plot twist coming. Not by a long shot.
    When the stars threw down their spears
    And watered heaven with their tears:
    Did he smile his work to see?
    Did he who made the lamb make thee?

    Planning to pick this up after I'm done with Stranger Things sII. Here v good things about it.

    Tried watching Star Trek: Discovery

    About 10 episodes in. Got off to a good start, much darker than previous Trek incarnations which I was happy about, and they ... swear

    I quite liked the characters. Michael Burnham seemed enigmatic enough.

    But then it descended into this ridiculous parallel universe plot sequence over several episodes where the Federation are instead evil Terrans.

    The entire storyline around this plot stretched believability one tick too far for me and my interest waned. Not gone back to finish the series and not sure I can be arsed.

And now we have to use it.

    And that's Why I'm Voting Leave.

    Watched Season 1 of Atlanta. An often weird/ surreal, funny, and usually very well done show from black POV in Atlanta. It's pretty hard on white people of all stripes, often in an eye-rolling kind of way. I recommend for sure.

    Working my way through The Expanse season 2. I like it a lot, especially the attention to real science - better than any show I've seen before. It's the absolute polar opposite of The Last Jedi's dumb-ass bombers and can't catch 'em chase.

    I got hooked on the Great Brittish Baking Show, watched all 4 seasons. Crazy, but I loved it.

    Watched the PBS reality series Frontier House and I absolutely LOVED it. I went out and BOUGHT it, no joke, because I loved it so much and wanted to see the extra content. If you can find it, watch it.

    I've been keeping up with Dark Matter, and wow what a piece of shit now. Season 1 was good because of all the mystery and it's dark and edgy quality. But I doubt I'll watch a next season.

    I watched The Good Place a while back and I really liked it.
    The Rules
    Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
    Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
    Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)

    Oh come on. You actually liked Season 3? The acting is often terrible. The characters have all lost their edge. The stories are not particularly imaginative. Blah.

    The Expanse season 3 starts tonight. And I don't have cable. I guess I wait a year for it to show up on Amazon. Sigh.

    Yeah, I did like it. But you don't have to worry about another season, that was the end of it.

    Awww. Sorry, about that. But clearly it wasn't just me that wasn't liking it.
