On anothe rnote, a series i am watching that i highly recommend is 'Babylon Berlin' on Netflix - a fantastic dark detective drama set in final years of the Weimar Republic - all the intrigues and the differing secretive political revolutionary factions against the cosmopolitan weimar culture

I don't have cable where I'm now, so I'll earmark this one and put it in the "to be watched" bucket. It sounds really interesting.

Babylon Berlin. Does this count as a documentary? Maybe not... But it's a good series showing on Netflix now.

First season of O Mecanismo was just released and I thought I should give it a try. So I begun watching the first episode yesterday afternoon, and was so hooked that I ended up watching the entire season before I was able to retire for the night.

Agatha's Christie's Ordeal By Innocence. The BBC have turned the book into a three-part drama. A very good cast, well acted and thoroughly entertaining [:)]

Just finished watching season 5 of The Americans. The show now feels slow and in dire need of better plots. [:(] Nothing really happens in the entire season.

I watched "You Were Never Really Here". Joaquin Phoenix playing a very damaged war veteran/abused-when-he-was-a-child-guy who does "wet works" for powerful people - mostly rescuing teen and pre-teen girls from prostitution rings. Phoenix is great, and the editing, with brusque, blink-and-you-miss-it, flashbacks of his suppressed memories, really conveys the idea of a broken mind. Only his "jobs" save him from suicide.

I'm bit amazed by the fact that so many reviews, even those praising the movie, missed the gigantic subtext hidden in plain view. Ah, well, to each his own.

JPhoenix is really great in a role where he must convey a whole spectrum of contrasting emotions with, maybe, 400 words (not lines) of dialogue for his character in the whole movie. He totally deserved the "Best Actor" prize at Cannes.

I am at the beginning of series two. I took a break from watching because I was annoyed with a minor detail. Then other stuff got in the way of resuming it.

I am, I think, at the last third of the second book. I reached a slower part of the book and went over to the historical book I read at the same time, and the break was to long for me to feel motivated to jump back into a slow part.

I usually read one fictional book and one historical book at the same time. Usually I manage it by keeping a faster tempo with the fictional book. When the reverse happens it is not uncommon for me to take a longer break with the fictional book.

Watched Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle last night. It was "OK", but not nearly the fun romp that the first one was.

Best sci fi show out there right now. Its head and shoulders above anything else on the Syfy channel.

Just started on Marvel Agent Carter. Love Hayley Atwell in this and Pillars of the Earth.
