A few things I've been watching on Netflix/prime on mondays.
Exorcist TV series.
Hot garbage. I think I like Exorcist 2 a lot more after seeing this. I kept thinking about how much that film got wrong but after seeing this sub-par crap with a Dan Brown twist to proceedings I genuinely found myself missing it. Avoid. Brainless and derivative.
Luke Cage season 2
I liked season one but this is better. Morse consistent.
Jessica Jones season 2
I liked season one. This is worse. No villain to drive the arc forward. Just felt meandering and as if the show-runners decided people only came for the characters personal drama's. Some good episodes but weak overall. Not as awful as Iron fist though.
Ken Burns Vietnam.
Comprehensive as hell. Be warned its LONG. I'm 6 episodes in and the episodes are anywhere between 80-100 minutes each. Appears to be using every piece of newsreel and stock footage out there. Some occasional idiotic observations aside (like the bloke who thinks he knows what American revolutionaries in the war of independence must have felt like being confronted by redcoats after encountering the Vietnamese peasants ..... errrm no) its a fascinating series. On netflix now.
