American Horror Story Cult
Anyone watching? It's a harder watch than the other series which were (mostly) brilliant.
Cult relies on the horror of American politics - both sides.
The main character is an over-the-top ranty, shouty, right-wing mentalist, trying and often failing* to convince others to support his views.
He's beyond parody and, I believe, based on Mpd72
Back on topic, don't bother, it's not that good. Watch AHS Freak Show instead.

I prefer this one to the previous one. Roanoke was a snoozefest for me, I find this one more creepy. |

Binged my way through 'The Good Place' over the weekend.
Nothing ground breaking in premise but thoroughly enjoyed it and all the cast are pretty good, Danson especially.

Well, my OCD kicked in and I finished:
Preacher S2. Just enough non-Tulip to be enjoyable. Very much did like Julie Ann Emery and her portrayal of Lara / Jenny.
The Expanse S2. Once you get past the budget not being up to it, it's... OK. Still winds me up no end when they use theatrical physics in crowded space. Just about competent enough. The unnecessary potty mouth from Shohreh Aghdashloo is a bit grating and quickly loses its impact.
And against my better judgement, I followed a Netflix recommendation and started:
Salvation. Planet killer asteroid come, what do? Apparently take lots of breaks from stopping it to feel that we need to discuss our feeling feels. More irritating than entertaining, real daytime soap cast, with the exception of the ludicrously luscious Jacqueline Byers who may - and I don't want to jump to such an important decision hastily - may be my new Alyson Hannigan. Teases me with Cannae drives and gravity tractors then gets a solid F in Fysics for asserting that the latter would only work on one rock rather than a pile of rocks. GRAVITY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. Biggest grind was name checking SF authors without mentioning Niven (Hammer time) even though they have a dreamer fithp. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

The Punisher mid-way review: it's a little predictable and not all that original. I also didn't realise there was required reading viewing, as I think he showed up in Daredevil and like all Marvel stuff they assume you've already seen everything they've ever made. Daredevils bird(?) also makes an appearance... see had I not seen the Defenders I wouldn't have a clue who she was either.
Yet I've found myself watching on It's not great but watchable. My Netflix trial runs out in a few days so I'll probably finish it. |

OK I finally found the time to track down S1/E1 of Stranger Things, and am about to commence watching it.
Its Friday lunchtime, I've only worked Tue/Wed/Thurs so far this week, and I really do need to work my top-bollocks off, Friday afternoon/evening.
Not at all sure this is a good idea, but fuck-it, the rent's paid and there's food in the fridge and gas in my car.
I'll just watch one episode ....

Managed to watch S1E1 of Stranger Things and then drag myself away to go to work.
Am back now, so might just treat myself to E2 and maybe E3, depending if I can stay awake, and if its interesting enough.

My car needs new tyres so I can't work till they come in on Monday afternoon.
I *could* do some editing work, but fuck it.
I'm now officially on Stranger Things catch-up.
S1 E6
I can stop any time I like, you know ...
It's all a bit Stephen King, though, innit? ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |
