I enjoyed the first episode of Abstract: The Art of Design (the one with Christoph Niemann, the illustrator). I confess to not having delved further, so I don't know how good the others are.

Sharp Objects is good
The Leftovers was good until the last couple episodes

That looks insufferable. Like a documentary of "artist statements," which I never read, because usually they are insufferable, no matter how much I may enjoy the art. I would like to see that film with just a musical accompaniment. Like I would watch that if Werner Herzog made it.

The Vanishing At The Cecil Hotel I found quite interesting.

Care to expand on that? Curious what was so offensive.

I'm liking StartUp so far. I don't like to think about what that means about me.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire is amazing. Didn't even need a script with lines, just countenances were enough.
Tenet is severely over-rated.
Dollface is pretty good.
Mare of Easttown is good.

I don't know why it took me so long, but I just finished the first (and only so far I think) season of The Righteous Gemstones on HBO Max and it was very good. Grade A Entertainment.

I also enjoyed watching Kare Winslet as Philly Boy Roy in the Mare of East Town. Jean Smart is excellent in it, and also in Hacks which is also great.

Hacks on HBO Max is the funniest new show I've seen this year. Cynical Veep-like humor, a perfect cast.. loving it so far.
