Maid on the Netflix. Squid Games is getting all the props but this little show tops it imho. Stars Margaret Qualley whose previous big role was as the provocative Pussycat (the hippie Brad Pitt's character picks up hitch hiking in Hollywood and takes her out to Spahn Ranch, in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood). The gal has serious dramatic acting chops in this rather small, but more or less, true, drama.
"Celebrity Wheel of Fortune" Since I really haven't followed his career, and only seen a couple of the 80s teen films he was in, I would have been hard pressed to name Anthony Michael Hall (if the show hadn't of course).
"My Name" on Netflix. Pretty good South Korean revenge story with some quality violence and loads of references to "Infernal Affairs".
Westworld. It was the episode were Anthony Hopkins knocks off the duplicitous broad. Right after he educated her about the fact that she had been sleeping with an android.
Someone, not sure if it was here or another thread, mentioned watching good quality westerns on the Inspiration Network which I discovered is in my cable package. They run maybe a dozen westerns from the 50s/60s and indeed, they use high quality sources compared to other channels like MeTV for instance. The worst I've seen is Alias Smith & Jones but that could be due to the so-so quality of the dvds that were released.
Four Corners about house affordability in Australia. Kids who should be arming themselves are putting themselves into lifelong debt to get into the property game. As soon as interest rates go up the whole house of cards is going to fall down.
Oats Studios Neill blomkamp's 'experimental' TV series. It's a bunch of short stories all set in a post-apocalyptic world. However, most of these shorts are just ideas that don't go anywhere. Very odd and rather pointless. It often feels like you're only getting a few scenes from an entire movie.
Finished Squid Game this past Saturday. Mostly fought the urge to binge-watch, though I did watch 3 episodes one night. Regards, Dave
It's got a lot of graphic violence but it's not horror. It's more of an action film kind of violence but it's not quite an action show. Regards, Dave
