The Syndicate

Russian doll is pure genius. The finale made me drunk cry.

Did this turn out to be good? I started it but wasn't getting into it...

Green Book is what happens when "that white guy with a black friend" decides to write a movie. If you don't think about anything, it's a pleasant little film. But it's somewhere near the end, around the moment where a scene with a nice cop shows up, existing for no narrative purpose at all except that "that white guy with a black friend" felt that the film should have that scene (for balance? Because saying that not all cops are racist is important to white guy with a black friend?) That you realize that the writer of this film doesn't know anything about racism at all.

I think Crash had more to say about it. And I mean the Cronenberg one.

But ey, we all get to pat ourselves on the back because we aren't racists, so we feel good.

Meh.

Except that it did. At least for me. Technically amazing film, but the story is pretty weak.

The Haunting of Hill House... somebody hold me As someone who has had more than a fair share of death related trauma, this Netflix show threw me for a loop... just possibly the most emotional ghost story ever??? What a great show!

Just burned through season 1 of The Good Place... definitely worth watching to the end to get the whole picture of what the show is about, and this is a great role for Kristen Bell...
