Television, drug of the nation

ok cool, well i guess i won't bother with that one.

I think I understand most of it, there's bits which I'm hazy on, but the general story/timeline(s) I understand, but specifically the 2 endings (1 in credits), I am confused on. The first ending, where are they, and the 2nd, when the fuck is that, and I guess where, how, why, what, and who.

Finally got round to watching handmaids tale (blitzed through both seasons). Took me a while to get to it due to wife being pregnant and us not really thinking that was a good fit. Pretty hard core stuff but I enjoyed it more than anything I’ve seen for a while. I did think it felt constantly at the limits of believability in terms of what people would be capable of doing and justifying doing. But never crossed the line.

Preacher seems to be on a bit of a roll right now. got a bit stale when they tried to introduce tension in jesse and tulip's relationship last season (as it does in all shows where the characters get all mopey and maudlin over some inconsequential bollocks, The walking dead for e.g.) but this season has been all action and storyline and finding myself waiting for the next episode to drop down the wire.

the wire.

the what?

you haven't seen it? Oh you absolutely must.

The Staircase - Watch it

Yeah Handmaids exceeded my expectations considerably

Search for Alt-Shift-X on YouTube. He did a good video on it IIRC. Generally his stuff is good, normally does a 20-odd-minute explanatory video after each episode of a series he is into, recently GoT and WW. Some Stranger Things stuff and other odds and sods in there too.

Does this belong here ?
