I'm at a friends for dinner, the final episode of "The Brothers Sun".
File under "Action/Comedy/Drama", but it succeeds in none of these. 8 episodes, 8 hours, for a big "Meh".
She's a bit of a pothead, and I'd always attributed her inability to accurately remember or describe any of these things to her 'bad habits'. But the more I watch Netflix, Prime, the other media so often hyped, and I realize that it's not her. It's the fact that the programming is so unutterably mediocre. With the exception of the "Ballad of Buster Scruggs", Coen Brothers, masterpiece.
Talking about kids, and someone I have to catch up with from when I was young, and I suddenly remember the series "Seven (7) Up", a longitudinal study of British Children that I'd mentioned on this blog some 14 years ago.

OK. No Bird-Dog Video. But still...
I was impressed. I still am.
And by now there should be another 2 episodes for me (us) to watch.
So I put her on to it, and maybe she gets it, maybe she doesn't. But it's a fucking damned sight better than anything else Netflix is offering. We watch the first two episodes together. Oddly enough I remember them both. And I'm keen to catch up.
