The TV thread

Started the 2-hour Beastie Boys thing directed by Spike Jonze but clicked out after 38 minutes.

 

Alexis has one of the best character arcs, especially towards the end of the series.

 

Finished The Flight Attendant and then Wikipedia’d the book. Wow. It seems like 50%ish changed, but still a really good watch.

 

I'd quit watching The West Wing in November 2016. It just all seemed so hopeless.
I picked it up again this fall. An episode or two (or three) a week isn't too far into the dream world.
For anybody else who's watching it, as you probably know, it's switching from Netflix, where it's been for a decade or more, to HBOMAX, on Christmas Day.

Watching Season One again: my god, was Mandy a bitch.

 

I have the DVD set, but it is easier to stream it, so I'm glad that I also have HBOMax. I've watched it all the way through four or five times. I'm sure I'll start it up again soon enough.

Mandy was annoying.

 

Moira Kelly is good at that role. See also: The Cutting Edge.

Also I'm glad HBO Max finally got their shit together and I can watch it on Roku.

 

Finally started Ted Lasso and will finish the whole thing within three days. It's an incredibly enjoyable watch and they seemed to really nail the football aspect as well.

 

Watched "Two Weeks to Live" on HBO Max. Stars Maise Williams (from GOT). Enjoyable, a little British humor-y (or humour-y), but only 6 episodes so an easy binge.

 

I am watching House of Cards again. Man, that was a great series.

 

No idea how Ted Lasso can keep it up for multiple seasons, but just a well-written, well-acted and feel good 10 episodes.

 

Agree. It will only get worse.

I fear Tehran would suffer beyond 1 season.
