    The Gentlemen is a very fun movie to watch. It has flaws but it’s not an issue. Dark comedy, amazing line up of actors and some fantastic moments. Guy Ritchie directs and demonstrates his prowess in spots. If you have not watched his movies there are several choice ones to pick from.

      The Stranger on Netflix. English detective show, I think. One episode in. Curious enough for a second.

      Stick with it.

      Very complicated, though not obscure. Lots of twists with a depressing, but ultimately satisfying conclusion.

      Another weekend wasted, LOL.

        Hinterland. Kinda (okay, a lot) like Broadchurch, but less tragic and it's episodic.

        And then there's Blood Machines.
        cinematography, visuals & and color grading: 11/10.
        original sci-fi setting: 8.5/10
        plot: uh... 3/10? 4?
        annoying feminist undertones: 9/10
        takes itself too seriously: 8/10

        Please love yourself.

          Your really had me intrigued until the "plot" comment.

          Oh well.

          Well until the feminist undertones comment.

          Well until the seriously comment.

          Yeah, those.

          Perhaps I'll watch "The Expanse" season 4 again.

                              I’ve been in that room and seen that painting. I took a picture of it before noticing the sign that said not to.

                                This is typical of the soulless comedies being produced today. The Office, Parks and Rec...the theme being 'look how stupid ordinary people are'. It is that same kind of snide stuff I cannot abide in Colbert.

                                      Almost finished watching "Crash Landing To You". It is a Korean drama about a hi-so Korean young lady who, during a hanggliding trip, is caught in a storm and blown to North Korea.

                                      Kind of a Romeo- Juliet romance. It is very "Asian" in parts, but I am enjoying it quite a bit. Having spent time in both ROK and DPRK, it is fun to see the show with that eyes.

                                      It is 15 episodes, each one 1 - 1.5 hours long.

                                      Fun show, but I am not sure how well it would do with US audiences.

                                      (BTW, it has English subtitles so you dont need to know Korean language).
