Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Watched the first episode of Hap & Leonard. I had read that particular book earlier this Spring so I was familiar with the story. Turns out that maybe I shouldn't have read the book - or maybe watched the show? - because it was both too slow and too fast Just went ZOOM past some stuff and I was wondering if they were doing the Dresden Files thing of one show = one book but suddenly it slows down to where I thought it's going to take forever at this rate. And they introduced a character that was very much changed from the book. But maybe it's because it's a show and they can't just introduce a character mid stream like a book can.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Started on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel last week. Wonderful acting and atmosphere so far.
