Stumbled on to "Pieces of Her" today on Netflix. Riviting, highly recommend it. Not a boring moment so far and I am about half way through it.

I remember when Stranger Things season 1 dropped (originally) - I was in the middle of watching a bunch of things. I was able to get through 2 episodes yesterday. No surprise that I really like it so far.

I’ve still never seen Stranger Things. Not sure I ever will.

I made it through the first season and found it mildly interesting; after a couple of episodes into season 2, I just never watched another one.
Wish I had done that on the Lost In Space series... UGH. |

Caught S5 of The Last Kingdom.
I rewatched the series because I forgot what happened. On the rewatch, it was a lot better than I remembered. I distinctly remember being put off by some of the dialogue and the acting of the lead actor. It wasn't at all like I remembered. In fact, I thought the acting was really good and there was some really good dialogue. I'm guessing I was put off by his accent, which was dumb in my part. There wasn't much that I didn't like on the rewatch. Beocca was my guy. I loved that dude. Finan was awesome in every scene. Sihtric and Osferth was really good too. Pyrlig banter was great also. Looking objectively, Aldhelm was really the only guy making even decent decisions. That's just a sidenote, but he's really the only politician worth following. Save, maybe Aethylflead. But she does a bunch of dumb shit too. I found myself glad that dude made it to the end. I laughed for a week when Uhtred let Sihtric shack up with a chick. "Thank you Lord! I will name my first child Uhtred!" "You will NOT." "Right. I will not." ![]() If this is the end of the series, I'm glad I binged the whole thing. There is a lot of connective tissue and continuity that gets lost in the time between seasons that I thought I was getting, but I apparently was not. It really is a lot better show than I gave it credit for. |

1883 is fantastic. Someone here recommended it, and I wanted to say thanks.

I can't be the only one here enjoying The Dropout about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos (on Hulu). I didn't have much background information on the real-life events (not much into tech or Silicon Valley stuff), and it's tempting to spoil it by looking up the real-life persons (particularly the good guys, like Kevin Hunter and the first inventor of the box who challenged Holmes) after each episode.

As interesting as the story is, I'd recommend getting the entire story from the book. Same thing with We Crashed. This spring I listened to The Cult of We by Eliot Brown and Maureen Farrell. It is also pretty definitive. I can't imagine a few hours of heavily dramatized dialogue will take the place of 30 hour books. I'm a total nerd for business. And the frauds these guys manage to pull off for a shocking amount of time never ceases to amaze. I always feel like I need a shower when I'm done, but I can't help myself. I just have to listen to the books. |

I really do recommend you read the books if you’re at all interested in the stories.
