This past week, I watched a 3-part documentary called Devil in the Family, about the rise and fall of a youtube influencer I'd never heard of, but then again, I mostly use youtube for yoga and spin videos, and generally find the idea of "influencers" utterly ridiculous, so why would I have heard of her? Anyway, it was pretty horrifying (child abuse and such), but I "enjoyed" it (really not the right word for these sort of shows, but not sure what else to use).
I also started a couple of new shows. One is this absolutely lovely program that started a couple of weeks ago on Channel 4 in the UK called School Swap: UK to USA. It's about a student exchange involving a group of students from multicultural south London who trade places with a group of students from middle-of-nowhere Arkansas, a small (pop 5000), mostly white, extremely xtian and conservative town called Mena. Don't know if it will ever end up on anything accessible to people who don't want to torrent, but if it does, it's worth watching.
The other is Prime Target (Apple TV). This one dropped back in January, so it's not new-new. Anyway, only a couple of episodes in, but I'm quite enjoying it. It's a mathematics drama (?) I guess you could say -- about a brilliant Cambridge postgrad who believes prime numbers could unlock all the secrets of the universe... and of course, mysterious forces are trying to prevent him from doing just that. Or something.
I watched the season finale of Severance this morning, and WOW, and yeah... And yay, season 3 has been confirmed (not that I thought it was in any doubt, but always good to have the official confirmation). Now I need to rewatch it so I can pick up on all the things I missed the first time through. Also caught up with Mythic Quest, which I'd put on hold waiting for more eps to drop. I think the season finale is this week, and the spin-off, Side Quest starts this week.
Also continued with various weekly shows, and I second the sentiment expressed in the first reply here about The Pitt -- by far the best medical drama out there, possibly ever. And arguably the most accurate/realistic based on articles I've read by nurses and docs who actually work in US ERs.
And tennis -- the Miami Open is on. And spring training baseball.
Looking forward to checking out the aforementioned Side Quest, and also the final season of Bosch: Legacy which also arrives this week.
