If it hasn't been mentioned here already...

I think a lot of you would enjoy the mini-series Dopesick.  I haven't watched it recently, but it crossed my mind earlier and I really liked it, so I thought I would suggest it.  It's on Hulu.

Sinners was good. 

even I might enjoy it

I like music and machine guns.

I'm about worn out on vampires.  And werewolves.  And zombies.  And whatever those things were in I Am Legend that acted like zombies but the snooty movie buffs insist were vampires.  I'm tired of those things, too.

Except for Zombieland.  They could make a dozen of those and I'd watch them all.

Had some time for TV this weekend. Finished Severance S2. I liked the turns this season took. And in concept I liked the ending--reminsent of the end of the Graduate--but in practice: don't they have to go home at the end of the work day? How is that going to work, given the calamaties that ensued?

A couple of episodes from finishing S2 of Silo. I really like the twist to S2. I agree that the first season started really strong, then turned just ok--but good enough to finish. I think the impact of the events at the end of S1, and how they are treated in S2 is pretty good. Are there holes? Of course there are, but I'm enjoying it so far. Haven't finished yet.

I also started watching Presumed Innocent. Hmmm. Haven't finished--of course there is a big twist at the end. Has to be. And yeah, the protaganist isn't especially sypmathetic, and the near porn (at least to the point that I'm at) seems superfluous...we get it; they were having an affair. My problem with the premise is the position the protaganist is in, he had to have acted differently than he did when put in the difficult position at the beginning. There was never any way that the problem he is stuck in wasn't going to come out, and he had to know it from the very start. So why even try to skate by? Of course, no story that way, but seriously, "Boss, we need to talk...you have to assign this to someone else, and I need to tell them about some stuff they are going to learn right away." Otherwise he had to know it was going to go the way it did.

But I'm curious about what the twist is going to be.

I agree, with Severance, there's no practical good outcome long-term for what iMark and Helly wind up doing.  I think it speaks to how the innies are, at bottom, very childlike.  They retain critical thinking, but they have zero real-world experience that mixes with that to constitute what we'd call maturity.  I don't think they were really thinking very far ahead, nor do they have a great ability to.  It's kind of a case of "This is what I want, so this is what I'll do," sort of like a 5-yr old.  YMMV, that's my take on it.  

I also agree with the whole problem you note with Presumed Innocent, without knowing much about how that stuff should actually go.  I imagine watching legal shows/films for you must be like watching medical stuff for my wife.  It drives her nuts and she complains about it, and I tell her most people don't know that stuff, and it had to be this way so the plot could happen.  She gets it, but it still takes her out of the story.  

Zombieland was just fun. Not trying to do too much, just having fun. Loved it.
