I happened to see a review of "Sweet Tooth" by CBC's . He was so excited and enjoyed it so much, that I thought I would check it out last night.

I started to watch and it caught me really early. Totally love it.
I was a bit worried being in a pandemic, that it is about a pandemic event, but, it isn't at all what I anticipated.

Characters are great, acting is wonderful, lines are memorable.

Oh, and the lad who plays Sweet Tooth is from Vancouver: Christian Conver

Been watching Godzilla Singular Point. Definitely one for a niche crowd, an anime (Japanese animation) based on the monster movies from Toho Studios (creators of Godzilla and associated creatures). It's an entertaining reimagining of Toho's monster world. One negative is that there's a lot of exposition going on as one character tries to figure out what is causing a series of monsters to appear and start attacking cities. OTOH, the monsters are well-done and there is rather comic, slapstick feel to the battles as the employees of a robotics company use their latest creation, Jet Jaguar, to fight the monsters. And lots of Easter eggs for us fans of Japanese media, e.g. Jet Jaguar was originally a one-off Godzilla ally in Godzilla vs. Megalon, which came out close to 50 years ago.
 
My guy said he would choose our next bit of evening entertainment. I feared I'd be watching a whole bunch of shootings, car crashes, spectacular falls, torture scenes etc. as that is what among the stuff he enjoys.

To my amazement he chose 'Ann With An E'!!
 
Thanks @Waterfall

For an interesting show that can lead to conversations, check out "Stateless" on Netflix.

Netflix’s ‘Stateless’: Why This Should Be On Everyone’s To-Watch List

Netflix's 'Stateless' represents the stories of the more than 70 million displaced people globally who are currently seeking sanctuary from war and persecution, half of which are children.

It's about people who are part of a holding camp for refugees arriving in Australia. Includes people from many perspectives and shows transformation and the choices people make (or are forced to make).

I binge watched it.
 
Is stateless a place for wondering powers of science where one can observe clearly without all the dirt of secular fixations? Sometimes know as stoic ... BS!
 
I love Jane Eyre. Have probably read it cover to cover at least 6 times. Netflix has a newer version, condensed in bits, but not badly done, with a cast that includes Dame Judi Dench as Mrs. Fairfax. Quite wonderfully done. Very emotional.
 
I am having a great day/week for finding great movies. 84 Charing Cross Road with Anthony Hopkins. Just magical. Again, I read the book first.

Now halfway. Still enjoying it after kind of bouncing off episode 3 a couple times (probably more me than it). Now Nadia (main protagonist) has met another character going through the same thing (dying and then reappearing at the same moment). And there's some weird connections between Nadia and this new one. Like a guy she hooked up with before her first death was also having an affair with the new guy's girlfriend. It is becoming increasing apparent that relationships have something with this whole dying and coming back thing, too. I am a little worried that this is going to end up with the two "dying people" hooking up because she is just so wrong for him (and vice versa). I am also wondering just how it will end given that a second season has been greenlit and starts shooting next month. If they resolve her situation in season 1, what do they do in season 2?

So, I finally finished Russian Doll yesterday. Not sure why it took me so long to finally get to the last couple episodes. Terrific show with some terrific writing and acting (both earned Emmy nominations for star Natasha Lyonne). The ending goes darker than the earlier parts of the show, with the whole time loop thing tying back to Nadia's traumatic childhood with a mentally ill mother. It seems to be resolved, though the ending it a bit weird. They kind of move from time loops to splitting into two separate time streams in the last episode. Or something like that. Have heard squat about series 2 so far, so not sure if it tries to pick up from there or starts a whole new story arc. Really, the last episode could probably have been expanded into a whole story arc for a second season but, of course, they did not know at the time that Netflix would want more.

When was the last time you watched "My Fair Lady"? Bit sexist, but period, and a lot of fun. And the music and the choreography and the costumes all most excellent.

We got to see it on Broadway in 2018. I was concerned about the sexism. We had gotten very well priced tickets as part of a group. Laura Benanti played the strong-willed Eliza very well. They modified it slightly so it was less sexist. Perhaps that was Laura's portrayal of Eliza
