Joe, have you started Lessons in Chemistry yet? If you don’t declare it your favorite show this side of Twin Peaks, I may have to stop watching television altogether.

:lol:

I haven't started it yet.

Funny though, I have the book saved to my Goodreads and I saw the trailer on Apple+ and thought... "gawd that looks like garbage! which sucks because I love her so much and the book looks so goooooood!"

But if you're telling me it's good, that's good enough for me, bub. I'll check it out. :thumbsup:

Granted, I’ve not read the book so I’m not comparing it to that but now I want to read the book very much.

I guarantee you’ll love her in this.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Just started Silo.

So far, so good. Curious about what's going on outside, obviously, but I'm also looking forward to spending more time down in the engine room with Rebecca Ferguson workin that furnace.

Finished The Morning Show. Some things worked out as expected some things were a bit surprising. Ready for next season.

Appt TV+ just raised their rates. Time to start a "reattach the cord" thread. Cable is probably cheaper than having multiple streaming services now.

I realized my flawed statement after I posted it, but decided to just leave it and suffer the consequences.
