If only I could do a poll...

1. Okay, I can't do a poll, because no paid account, but I'm curious...how many people who watch Doctor Who see it as a kid's show? And do your kids, assuming you have any, watch it? I'm particularly interested in the non-Brits. Because it's apparently marketed as a kid's show in Great Britain. But it isn't here. (It's shown at 9 pm here on Saturday nights. Not exactly what I think of as the prime kid-viewing hour.)

2. What is everyone watching? Anything interesting?

3.Sense8 got cancelled. Is it worth watching now that it is cancelled? Or will it irritate me because it ended on a cliff-hanger? What else on Netflix, Amazon Prime is worth checking out?

So far Bosch, Sense8, and Iron Fist have been mentioned. Anyone seen the Woody Allen/Elaine Page series?

4. Has American Gods finished yet? I'm waiting to binge watch as a 7 day trial on Starz.

I've been fortunate in that I've mixed with a wide variety of people and lived in various places throughout my lifetime. So, I've known people who don't like sci-fi or fantasy. My grandmother didn't. And various people I've met here and there. One friend only liked literary, and would enjoy the occasional film. And one book club I was in -- didn't like it at all, and tended to see everything from a religious perspective. There was another book club that I was in for a while that loved genre, sci-fi, fantasy, etc.

While an undergrad -- I was doing my thesis on Ulysses and Sound & the Fury, while the guy next to me was doing his on Dark Knight Returns, and various graphic novels and action comics, regarding the death of the superhero in the modern age. And one of my courses in college - - was contemporary science fiction, we read William Gibson's Neuromancer. It was a small private College in a small town in Colorado. Where I met people from small towns that loved comics and sci-fi.

But there were also people who preferred 19th Century literature and wouldn't read anything published after 1950.

I had to go online to discuss Buffy, because no one I knew watched or liked it. Most people prefer to discuss sports teams to television shows...it's easier, I think?
