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.

Apparently, we're trying again, with Orvill by Seth McFarland, which is also a satire, homage to Star Trek.

We have managed it with novels, John Scalzi comes to mind.

Don't know Scalzi. Gonna have to check him out.

Can't believe I forgot Rick and Morty! Very funny, but plunges deeper into existential terror than almost anything else in the subgenre.

Trailers for The Orville look promising, but Seth is notoriously hit or miss. We'll see.

I liked Scalzi's RedShirts and Vonnegurt's Slaughter-House Five better than Addams.

Read one right after the other this year.
