I enjoyed the new Reacher series on Amazon Prime. I've read a few Reacher books on airplanes or beaches. This series seems pretty faithful to the series and is a lot better than the movie with Tom Cruise.
Good way to kill a few hours but it's admittedly not deep or sophisticated or nuanced or meaningful. |

Anyone catch euphoria this week? I’m surprised Rue didn’t break an ankle.

So is Euphoria a good watch? I thought it looked like a chick flick. Not a hard and fast position, just first glance scrolling by.

Chick flick might fit it, but it's a little grimier and more raw than a 'girlie' show. Did you see 'Kids' when it came out? Or the British show 'Skins' more recently. Basically up to date exploration and dramatization of navigating the perils of being a modern teen, drinking, drugs, sex, parties, betrayals, trying to fit in, being ostrasized, ****ing up, paying the consequences, etc. But what sets it apart is the execution. A lot of the drama is set by the cinematography and blocking. Some frames are literally a work of art. And the music and voiceovers and flashbacks and imagery are all very evocative. It's heightened in much the same way being a near-adult teen is heightened, more dramatic, more consequential, more devastating, etc. |

I did, however enjoy (shamefully) Sex Lives of College Girls. That is assuredly much lighter than Euphoria, but maybe I won’t hate the subject matter as much as I’m anticipating. |

Yeah...I thought the same. Not as raw/dry as Larry Clark...but Kids two decades later...
It's not a "nice" show...might be more comparable to Spring Breakers....which was directed by Harmony Korine....who wrote Kids. That's a great movie too... If you liked Kids...you would probably dig Mid90s...another A24 gem. Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross (NIN) did the soundtrack... |

Wow. Saw your post yesterday and immediately watched The Immortal. Excellent. I actually think that's best watched after season 5 episode 1 when he finds out the truth.
