    Brooke - Lol - I have never seen it either.
    I have a few friends who are huge GOT fans. I am considering borrowing past seasons from my local library.

    Is anyone watching the Ken Burns' multi-part Vietnam documentary on PBS? It's brutal and sad - what else could it be - but I somehow manage to end up watching every night, even when I say to myself "I can't watch this anymore"!

    One critic I read actually criticized the program for its diversity of viewpoint, but this is admirable, IMO. The critic wanted Burns to take a position (who was the "bad guy," who was most at fault) but I don't see how that could be instructive, not with a subject this complex.

    OT: Trent Reznor does the disturbing original music. It sounds like a horror film soundtrack to me, but whatever floats your boat.

    I just finished "Stranger Things" season 2 today and loved it so much!!! In some ways it was even better than the first.

    It stars Elizabeth Moss and is directed and co-written by Jane Campion.
    Liked ToL and also Handmaid's Tale, also with Elisabeth Moss.

    Thanks, NMB. Such a strange case. Always intrigued me. Poor JonBenet.

His music is similar to them but also has an Irish feel to me, but also alt-rock and folk. I love his songs and his voice is really unique. Still shocked he's actually a blonde with blue eyes, as he dyed it dark and wore brown contacts to play Albert. LOL So glad for this show introducing me to him.
    Haven't seen Genius but like Johnny Flynn. He wrote the theme to a UK TV show called The Detectorists (not super impressed by the series). He was also in a series that might have been called Brothers. Quite charming in that. He's played the US a bit and has a following there.

    Here's a fave of mine: Bottom of the Sea Blues.

    in which he appears to be wearing a jumper of mine ...?

    Also try The Water, here with a Mumford.

    Not a favourite show, but I think 'The Good Place' is an enjoyable light confection of a TV show. Those who enjoy 'The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' (spelling?) might enjoy this show.

    Totally agree DJ!!! It's fantastic and they have such a great cast. I watched the after-show/interviews Netflix put up with the cast and crew too and you learn so much. The writers are only a couple years older than me, but makes sense as I too love so much that influenced "Stranger Things" and the 80s. They even had Bill Nye the Science Guy on the after-show to explain more of the science which actually is possibly real like multiverses. Plus, it's always fun finding the Easter eggs and shoutouts to all the 70s, 80s, and even 90s movies/shows/video games.
