OH and incidentally I just finished episode 6 of Yellowjackets, so there's some more mental trauma for the chilling-after-work-while-watching-TV pile... JFC |

Been watching season 2 of "From". About a group of people who are stranded in an abandoned town. They don't know each other. One by one they end up there while driving. Once there, it's impossible to leave.
Every night at sunset demon like monsters roam the town. Anybody outside, or anyone who opens a door to the monsters, is torn apart by them. I think the writers were involved with Lost. It's kind of like Lost, but more supernatural and less SciFi. Just like Lost nothing about the weird town everyone is trapped in is ever explained. Something weird happens every episode... you think it'll lead to a revelation of some kind... but it never does. I liked Season 1 of this show. But well into Season 2 and we know fuck all about why any of them are there, who the demons are, why there's electricity in all the homes in the town, even through there's no wiring in the walls... I want to like this show... but it's making me angry just like lost did. Except it's doing it much more quickly. Barely 12 episodes total. Lost took 2 years and 50 episodes to make me this angry |

Been re-watching Quantum Leap and I think it's the single most source of anxiety in my life.
I was like 8 or 9 and was allowed to stay up 1 hour later on Wednesday than usual and watch a dude be thrown into a situation where he had no idea what his name was or what he was supposed to do. I had to talk myself down and remind myself that TV wasn't real every week |

Finally watched the newest Black Mirror season, and the Mazey Day episode might have been the worst thing I've ever seen

i thought season 1 of from was okay but have low expectations. same deal with yellowjackets which predictably shit the bed in season 2.
does any lost-esque show stick the landing? for the record i liked the lost ending but it could have been better |

Watching "Sugar" on Apple TV. Kind of like it. LA Noir detective with issues.
Something way off though about this show. I think the main character is an alien |

Sugar takes some kind of weird drug to sleep. can catch a fly out of the air with chopsticks. seems to speak every language. Has mental flashes of old Hollywood films when he's in high stress situations... like he's using them as a reference for what he's about to do. This sounds like a gimmick, but it's done very well. And it kind of fits with the way he dresses (nice suits) and what he drives (a mid 60s Corvette stingray). Also Colin Farrell looks a bit like an old Hollywood leading man.
In episode 3 .... highlight below for spoilers Sugar meets with his handler, Ruby, and a house full of other people that are like him. They all have a connection to Ruby and are "polyglots". He gives her his notebook, which is supposed to contain his observations of people while on his cases. Despite being in her home they meet in an upstairss sound proofed room that looks like an interrogation room from an old movie. Later in the episode we see Ruby typing Sugar's notes into what seems to be a very very old typewriter... I think he's an Alien |
