shadowkat1. FB is dangerous. They keep posting political stuff and I have to keep refraining from commenting.
(Suffice it to say, I hate the white male assholes who abuse women and get elected to office. In the immortal words of the Red Queen? Off with their penises (actually it was heads).]
2. Riverdale just keeps getting darker -- it's really trying to be Twin Peaks this season except without David Lynch's surreal wackiness. In which case, it will never get the diehard Twin Peaks nerds.
3. The Good Doctor...is another one of those feel good hospital series with no nurses in the cast.
Honestly, less focus on the frigging surgeons and more on the nurses. It's focused on a bunch of competitive surgeons, one who is autistic. Weirdly the autistic doctor is the most empathetic and caring of the team.
My suspension of disbelief took a nose dive. But it's a medical show, so I can handwave a lot of it.
Does remind me why I dislike hospitals and the medical profession.
4. The Resident has grown on me. I like it better than The Good Doctor. More realistic. Also it has nurses in the cast. Male and female nurses. Who actually are responsible. The hospital also looks like hospitals that I've been in, with cots all over the place. And chaos. Also asshole doctors.
It also reminds me of why I dislike the medical profession and in particular doctors who make too much money for their own good. I've discovered since moving to NYC that the more money and better the doctor's facility the worse their treatment and care. In short -- if your doctor has a state of the art facility and makes over 450,000 per year -- run don't walk to the nearest exit.
There's a reason insurance and medical malpractice is so high.
It is however, due to the above, not as light and user-friendly as Greys and Good Doctor. Much darker series. More painful to watch at times.
5. This is US is getting a bit too smulchy for its own good. Tone it down a bit. Maybe now that we've gotten past Jack's death, it will? I didn't cry. I knew Jack was going to die. I didn't know how exactly, but managed to guess. Found it painful to watch, but also contrived. So, no tears.
Their better episodes don't deal with Jack and Rebecca, but focus on the three kids -- who are amazing.
6. Still raining. Frigging tired of the rain. Tried to do my nails, failed miserably. Gave up and pulled off the nail polish.
Made cookies instead.
Yeah, I know.
I blame the menopause. And the rain.

Date: 2018-02-12 11:58 pm (UTC)The Resident is actually working for me. More so than the others. I couldn't stick with Chicago Med...too many characters and none of them grabbed me. The other one -- Code Blue, I was able to stick with longer, but gave up on for similar reasons.
Mostly it has to do with having too many television series and not enough time.

Date: 2018-02-13 02:18 pm (UTC)Chicago Med pulled me in with Colin Donnell's character, but he's actually annoying me this season? Which means I'm like four episodes behind. Whoops? Same with Blindspot this season: the characters are just making me angry.
And, yeah, I hear you on too many series. I really need to just drop some, leave them for eventual marathons or something.
