I just finished The Days on Netflix last night.
Its the story of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster or the Japanese Chernobyl. It was certainly interesting and I wished I had liked it more than I did. Feel it was a couple episodes too long bloated with emotion trying to capture the stoic sense of duty and respect in Japanese culture but it just got a little long in the tooth. Super interesting true (mostly) story which if you aren't familiar with could make it worthwhile. The fact that the plant still isn't decommissioned and is practically a bomb still sitting there was a little eye opening. |

Definitely some eye opening moves they made in the name of duty and salvaging perception |

Japans culture was on display in that show, not losing face was more important than anything.

And I think 3 Mile Island ran until sometime in the 90s, and only shut down because the company went broke. Weird shit man. I will check the The Days though, obviously Ithat shit is interesting. |

Looking through their offerings. The White Queen, The White Princess and The Spanish Princess aren't bad. Weren't really my thing, but not a terrible watch.
Magic City is pretty solid. Spartacus has some cheese, but is pretty decent. That's about all I've seen. |

Just finished season 1 of Silo. Great show, can't wait for new season. Anyone got any theories as to what is going on? What will happen to Juliette?

Thoughts on The Witcher?
We just started the last season to Peaky Blinders, once that’s over we’re thinking about The Witcher… |

The Bear closed out strong with Episodes 7-10. I'm still a bit iffy about this turning into show about the characters' personal lives with the kitchen aspect added as the seasoning rather than the other way around.
