So, trigger movie. Although I think it needs to be seen.
2. The Gifted -- is slow. This series has serious pacing issues. I do not know why. I think it's focusing why too much on everyone angsting over the nitwits who joined the evil mutants. I'm at the point in which I no longer care about the whiny nitwits who joined the evil mutants. Meanwhile we have the bereft cop wandering about obsessing over the mutants who allegedly died in Atlanta (end of last season), and Mr. Strucker exhibiting inconvenient powers.
How hard is it to have a fun X-men series?
Speaking of the X-men, their creator, Stan Lee is dead at 95.
To be honest, I was surprised he was still hanging in there. But will miss him. He created my favorite superhero team.
3. New Amsterdam is comforting. It's interesting that comforting shows and medical procedurals are at the top of the ratings at the moment. As opposed to less comforting and more violent series.
I can't watch the pure anti-hero series any longer. Disenfranchised nasty old white guys who kill people remind me too much of well the Doofus, so I can't watch. I have a feeling I wouldn't have been able to watch Breaking Bad now. During Obama, not a problem. During our present situation -- a definite problem. Have the same problem with political shows. Although I might attempt the last season of House of Cards.
