Not Silverliver?

No. It appears the Green Ferrous Spleen was taken as well.

One of the best series in the genre, imo.

Quite a remarkable series, really. Murderbot's journey isn't so different from the old search for freedom: breaking out of its programming, questioning who or what it is, managing to function in the world without being swallowed by it, and eventually finding a bit of peace and clarity.

In the end, the AI seemed far more natural than the humans, who were less genuinely human and more disturbingly "normal" in their own peculiar way.

Alexander Skarsgård was excellent in his role.

I've been meaning to see that. I'll try to get around to it this week!

Everybody's Live with John Mulaney

I'm watching Sense 8 on Netflix.ca.  I'm into the 2nd of two seasons.

This is a better than average sci-fi, (I suppose that's the genre).  It's about eight people, all born the same day and time, who share a psychic link though they live separate cities around the world.  They are threatened by various malefactors and help each other remotely in real time.

If you're offended by "woke" you might not enjoy the series;  it features people of different races, gender affiliations, and walks of life. It all works for me however.  (The notion of a trans women lesbian is a bit weird to me but hey.)

I've recently finished watching all of Bones:



As a police procedural, it is one of the better ones, but most police procedurals (like Law & Order) are trash. This one struggles, for me, because of the weakness of the two leads: Bones and Booth (yes, he is related, in universe, to the assassinator of Lincoln, and it is even plays a key role in at least one episode). It is clear, from the get, that they were going to get together, and it took basically 10 seasons for that to actually happen, and it took that long because the entire premise of the show is that the world is conspiring against them (it is easily one of the most narcissistic shows I've ever come across - it unironically reminded me of some of the past posters on GMG, lol).

Out of the main cast of characters - not a single likeable person - they were all irritating, but, and this is a positive, they had some of the best character actors and actresses I've ever seen making sure the show didn't fall through the floor. Example: For a 3-episode arc, they had Diedrich Bader (who I know best from The Drew Carey Show and Office Space - a comedian) play Booth's boss and Bones's love interest, and he was so charming (I was sad when he left, but he probably made the show too good and that worried the producers of this soap opera slop).

All in all, Bones was fun enough, and I will return to some episodes for rewatch - all in all I'd give the show a solid C (75/100).

    I think I've watched it twice over the years. Beatrix Lehmann was great in this as she was in Love for Lydia

I've at last begun the BBC Jane Eyre with Timothy Dalton as Rochester.

New season of Southpark. Watch fast because it won't be there much longer.
