What TV shows are people watching?

The Sandman (Netflix)

Well this came out of nowhere. Just 2 episodes in, very engaging. I didn't read the comic because the art didn't seem very inviting.

Alright the last couple times I've been tanked I've also been obsessed with watching the first Highlander movie, which reignited the minor Highlander obsession I had in the 90s and now I'm trying to get back into the TV series.

Honestly, after the first epsiode, some of my fears of the abject corniness I knew would happen have been exacerbated cause god damn was that first villain the cheesiest thing ever, but even though the acting can be soapy as **** when the emotions get high the actual dramatic writing and character development shows some legit promise and care.

I'm cautiously optimistic that this goofy show can be a diamond in the 90s rough and make me absolutely stoked for the announced Highlander reboot that may or may not ever materialize.

Started watching Hide and Seek, a Ukrainian crime mystery thriller about kidnapped children. Gripping stuff. The difference between the Eastern Bloc police and those in the west is staggering, if this is authentic. Dreary and miserable, not a smile in sight, corruption everywhere, rampant sexism and victims being interviewed with all the tenderness and subtlety of a swift kick in the teeth. Recommended.

I watched the first few episodes of Andor. The plot is slowly building. With all of the prequels and back story, it's still weird to watch something knowing how it will end.

My next foreign drama.

Munich Games sees a joint Israeli/German police force attempting to foil a planned attack on a friendly match being held between the two countries to mark the anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre.

Watched Black Bird.
It's really ****ing good. Everybody who's into serial killer **** should check it out. The portrayal of Larry Hall is incredible and different and terrifying. At first I didn't believe that that retard would turn out to be an effective antagonist but holy **** was I wrong.

You missed the memo (and the whole tedious discussion around it, consider yourself lucky about that) but I've listed the word retard among the forbidden forum slurs

But there's one word that perfectly encapsulates his entire being.
