Yeah. It has one of my favorite endings of a show ever.

Paradise on Netflix is decent. Kind of PKD-ish story, but a little more corny in its execution. German film about a future in which time a technology has been created allowing one to sell years of one's life to someone else, and time is the most valuable asset anyone has (for the poor, it's all they have). So if the average life expectancy is 80 years and you sell 20 years to someone, you basically age 20 years right after the procedure, and will only live to 60 (though your body will be effectively 80). Critique of late capitalism and the privatization of everything for sure.

Enjoyed a documentary called Thief Collector. It's a wild story that begins with a stolen painting.

Monsieur Spade. First episode is out, and twenty minutes in, it's pretty damn good.

I really liked this. Clive Owen is always good, and I thought he really did a good job of capturing what Spade would have been like in "retirement". I hope it comes back for another season, but I can see why it wouldn't.

The Gentlemen. A Guy Ritchie 8-episode limited series. It's the latest binge-watch, and seven-and-a-half episodes in, it's truly great.

Watching this now. It's good, but, you have to like that thing what Guy Ritchie does. If you like it definitely good for a binger. Probably will finish tonight. I'm hoping The Gospel comes back into it, seems like he'd have to.

Has no one seen Boots Riley's I'm A Virgo? Halfway through it and loving it

Lasted a few episodes. I always want to love Riley's stuff but it comes off way too HIGHdeas for me.

FX's Shogun is pretty enjoyable. Good pacing, good period details, not a relentless gorefest though it does get brutal at times.

Yeah it’s pretty fantastic tv. The production design and that it’s in Japanese is great. Probably my favourite miniseries on at the moment.

And holy shit, the cannon scene at the end if the latest episode… red mist.
