Lost Women of Alaska
There is a lot of things that happen in the United States that we don't know about. This is one of those things unless you are part of that community. This documentary tells a crazy story that is so sad.

Trust Me: The False Prophet
These documentaries about the craziness in the FLDS church are always so over the top. This one has children being moved in a trailer and have to hold on to the door so it doesn't whip open. This was the crack that helps out the investigation by the FBI and allow them to really get involved.
TV
Zero Day
It was a catastrophe of epic proportions in living up to that. Investigating these types of events is what I do for a living, and so I wanted it to be good, but talk about doing the bare minimum to make the language right and tossing it aside.
TV
Altered Carbon (Netflix)
Speaking of the second season. The last episode of the second season look me probably 4 hours to finish. It was terrible. The fights, boring. The story in the final episode, negates most of the entire season. They knew the show was ending and threw it in the trash.
TV
A Body in the Snow
To be honest, I am not sure how to write this/talk about this. The case is going to be retried, it isn't over. So the "Truth" isn't really out there. What I will say is that Karen isn't the type of person who makes sympathetic juries.
TV
Sins of Our Mother
These are the types of documentaries that I do not like. It is just an expanded story of what happened with the son providing some commentary. No answers, not additional story, nothing that I couldn't read in the news really.
TV
The Tylenol Murders
I knew that it was this event that created the foil over the top of the pill bottle, but under the lid. Why do I know that? I have no idea I think my mom talked about it at some time when I was a kid. Probably when she was telling me to get a different pill package because it might be tampered with.
TV
Squid Game
This game story is only the beginning with player 456 really making strides. Showing people what being a human really means. Lee Jung-jae is outstanding in this. I believe bad writing and him learning english for the role is why he was weaker in The Acolyte, but I don't think it is his capability.
Movies
The Old Guard 2
Lastly, the story. What made for mystery in the first movie, just becomes plot holes in the second. Honestly, the whole story is more about pride, arrogance, and deceit than it is about immortals trying to survive. There are a couple new introductions to new immortals which is a cool idea, but...

The Old Guard
To me, this movie was something that should have blown up in 2020, but I think was just surrounded by people releasing what they had since they couldn't film. It is full of everything you want. What I think hurts it the most is some of the dialogue, specifically from the Wish version of Dudley,
TV
Spycraft (Netflix)
I didn't like this show. The narrator was awful, the interviews were so wave top that you never felt like you got anything good. It didn't even talk about the book it came from. On of the authors is one of the interviewed people.
Movies
Carry-On
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.
