No, no game experience needed.

Secrets of the Octopus is starting out really good. When dud more than 1 become octopuses?

And, damn, no more pulpo for 99.

fallout is good. not great.

Baby Reindeer is...interesting...

Not a TV show, but finally got to American Fiction last weekend. Can't remember the last movie I watched that was as good. Funny, tragic, surprising, inventive, hopeful, earnest. Meaningful, but without being self-serious.

Jeopardy! Masters

Mattea is still annoying

we enjoyed it quite a bit

the, uh, shocking turns it takes kept us interested…easy to binge

Finishing up Vikings on Netflix, had never watched it before for some reason. Thoroughly enjoyable late night watching. Fun to imagine living at such a time in such a place. What a bizarre existence that must have been. I like to imagine stealing someone from those times and bringing them to our time a la Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

I enjoyed the parts of Shogun that were like this - it is fascinating to think about the notion of cultures colliding.

Yeah, just thinking how wildly different such cultures were when the reality was that they weren't terribly far apart is interesting. I also find the fact that many women were warriors and leaders of communities and not just relegated to being baby factories to be refreshing and fascinating.

I haven't watched Shogun yet; I may try that next.
