Time travel stories are rarely comprehensible.
Multiverse is even worse.
I kinda liked the book.
But the TV show was simply too hard to follow.
It’s an endless series of facial expressions with too little dialogue or explanation.
I DID enjoy watching Jennifer Connelly, however.

Salvation (2017) is an American thriller TV series.
Not bad, as thrillers go. But only 47% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The cast is compelling.
Santiago Cabrera as Darius Tanz is good. Something like an Elon Musk.
… an asteroid that will impact the Earth in just six months, highlighting the attempts to prevent it and its worldwide ramifications. The show looks at how different individuals and groups of people react to the impending doom.

This is hard to watch. So dark. So disturbing.
And fantastic. 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
True Detective: Night Country is the 4th instalment of True Detective, the superb TV drama series.
… set in the fictional town of Ennis, Alaska, and follows the investigation behind the disappearance of eight men from a research station. The season stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis as Detectives Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro. …
… supernatural elements …
Another inspiration was Billie Eilish‘s 2019 song “Bury a Friend“, which López described as “such a dark, moody, fun, sinister little song that I thought it could absolutely work.” It was used to score Night Country‘s title sequence. …
The season was filmed in Iceland and Alaska with a budget of $60 million.
The two female leads are both badass.
Jodie Foster obviously.
Kali Reis is an American professional boxer, turned actress.
I binged the entire season on a transatlantic flight.

I haven’t read many of the books.
But the TV series is somewhat interesting.
Alex Rider is a British spy thriller TV series based on the novel series of the same name by Anthony Horowitz.
It stars Otto Farrant as the eponymous character, who is recruited by a subdivision of MI6 as a teenage spy …
It’s a pretty standard SAVE THE WORLD thriller. Impossible plots.
What I like about THIS thriller is the charmingly weird cast.
Brenock O’Connor as Tom Harris, Alex’s best friend,
Marli Siu as hacker Kyra Vashenko-Chao.
Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo as Jack Starbright.
I watched parts of seasons 1 and 3.
There will be no season 4.

I read the second book in the series, as well:
I’ve always liked Rob Lowe comedies.
This show is funny.
A father-son comedy in which socially shy son Jackson (his real son John Owen Lowe) begins working for his successful and admired, but eccentric and narcissistic-adjacent, father Ellis (Rob Lowe) at his high-tech bio research facility in order to help save him from spiralling further following the death of his wife.
Good cast. I particularly like Rachel Marsh as Luna and Emma Pilar Ferreira as Ruby.

Not great. But I somehow got through Fallout.
The plot is too confusing. There are many subplots and characters that don’t seem to contribute. Perhaps they relate back to the original video game.
BUT Walton Goggins as The Ghoul / Cooper Howard is unforgettable.
And Ella Purnell ia perfect as the naïve Bunker dweller Lucy MacLean.
This will win all the awards for visual effects and cinematography. Some of the best shot at Namibia‘s Skeleton Coast.
… the aftermath of the Great War of 2077, an apocalyptic nuclear exchange in an alternate history of Earth where advances in nuclear technology after WWII led to the emergence of a retrofuturistic society and a subsequent resource war.
Many survivors took refuge in fallout bunkers known as Vaults, unaware each Vault was designed to perform sociological and psychological experiments on the Vault Dwellers.
More than 200 years later in 2296, a young woman named Lucy leaves behind her home in Vault 33 to venture out into the dangerously unforgiving wasteland of a devastated Los Angeles to look for her father, who had been kidnapped.
Along the way, she meets a Brotherhood of Steel squire and a ghoul bounty hunter, each has their own mysterious pasts and agendas to settle.

Funny TV sitcom.
Colin from Accounts is an Australian comedy television series created and written by husband-and-wife team Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, who also star as the show’s main characters. …
Set in Sydney, Australia and centred on Ashley (Harriet Dyer) and Gordon (Patrick Brammall), two singles who are brought together by a car accident and an injured dog whom they name Colin (from Accounts).
Ashley and Gordon are flawed, funny people who choose each other after being brave enough to show their true selves, scars and all, as they navigate life together.
Worth watching. Though I did feel the series got weaker towards the end.

Like most everyone, I loved season 1.
The Tourist (season 1) is a 6 part TV show series where an Irish tourist in Australia is run off the road, waking up in hospital with amnesia.
Season 2 explains why Jamie Dornan as (The Man / Elliot Stanley / Eugene Cassidy) is on the run down under.
He goes home to Ireland to uncover his past.
Still surprising.
Conor MacNeill as Detective Ruairi Slater is terrific. What a role!
All the Irish casting is excellent.
BUT I can’t say I enjoyed it as much as season 1.
I like the comedy. The intense drama … not so much.

Very funny. Smart dialogue.
As funny as 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
MANY pop culture references.
Cameos by Fallon, Colbert, Tina Fey, and more.
It follows four women who were part of a girl group named Girls5eva, which was briefly popular around the year 2000 before fading into one-hit-wonder status.
Now unfulfilled in their various lives, they reunite to try to find musical success again.
I quite like Daniel Breaker as Scott, Dawn’s husband. He plays the one normal person in the show.

I watched season 2, as well. Not nearly as good.
A hard NO on season 3.
