My biggest cheers for this are Eddie Redmayne and his language skills and the gun fights. I know that he is just memorizing lines, but he had a decent accent that even my half-deaf ears could hear. The gun fights didn't have a prolonged engagement and all felt very realistic. This is

This is an animated TV show and while I know that in the millennial and beyond generations, those are becoming more popular, I have a hard time paying attention to them. However, this show does something interesting for the first two seasons. The third season is where it falls apart.

the acting is superb. I recently was on jury duty myself and can tell you that the reasons that people try to get out of jury duty is crazy. There is also that idea of not trusting anyone and people who are against the grain and see things the other way.
Books
I am not 100% sure I remember anything from this book even though I finished it yesterday. It was a lot like SPQR A History of Ancient Rome where it was very academic. I do not think I was really interested until "Chapter" 8.

There are some things that I have loved and appreciated about this show as well. Lets talk about bringing in the old acting team to play small roles in the new show. I mean both old and new gangster Jeffery are dope. I mean, the old one popping up for this heavy conversation just sits so well.

I was reminded of how good Ralph Fiennes is and luckily enough, this movie came out, and we see him be more than triumphant. This entire movie follows him and he just kills it. There isn't a scene where you can see him out of character.

The story is good. The idea that the Military Industrial Complex would attempt to kill someone so they could get more funding matches everything I know about contract companies. Especially those that have former special operators with a laxed moral complex.

This is going to be, if it isn't already, a classic for Millennials. We grew up with it, ABC Family plays it every holiday. It is just a great set of movies that ends so well. There are some parts that are not the greatest, and some massive changes as compared to the book,
TV
This show is infuriating. There are so many things wrong with the gun fights, the Lionesses, the demographics, and writing. However, it is a wildly entertaining story that you enjoy because the season is short. Only 8 episodes, therefore there aren't a lot of filler episodes which is so nice.
Video Game
The fighting itself has some cool moments, like when you kill a target you sometimes get these little slo-mo events or special flourishes and that is when it is fun. Otherwise, it is like playing World of Warcraft back in the day when you just hit a button and wait for the skill cooldown to finish
Books
This is a crazy story of the attack on Pearl Harbor and those that lived on the island that you have never heard of. The closest you would ever hear about this is probably from the TV show NCIS for 2 reasons... 2) Douglas Wada worked for NIS which is the predecessor to NCIS.
Movies
Let me start off by saying it was an informative movie. I knew his work with Gorbachev thanks to books like The Main Enemy and his relationship with Margaret Thatcher thanks to The Spy and the Traitor, but a lot of the others items I didn't know.
