HPI! HPI! *dances in circles* Four episodes are now out, but the friend I made in the fandom and I have agreed to follow the French airing schedule, so we're on ep two and discussing the hell out of it. I have somehow had the crazy idea to create a comm for it (hpi_tv) and posted all my icons to it so far. I'm thinking of adding ep discussion posts, but haven't gotten there yet. Anyway, this fandom is my whole world at the moment and I'm loving it.
I have managed to rope two friends into HPI, and both are on their way through season one and love it so far. I'm currently despairing over the terrible quality of the season 2 engsubs. I want to make them better for my friends, but there is just no realistic way (because it would be extremely time-consuming). I settled for fixing the important parts of the most important ep, the season two finale.
Through the whole "where do I get HPI from" stress I had all month, I've found more French tv streaming sites and have managed to get my hands on both Engrenages and Tout Va Bien, but have only watched half an ep of each to check if they're okay. They are. They will nicely fill the time until the second half of HPI's season five airs in September. I hope.
Having been ill the last few days, I opted for watching some random Remington Steele episodes, and oh my it only holds up part of the time. It's quite funny in places, but a lot of the jokes are more misogynistic than they should be, considering the premise of the show, and Pierce Brosnan's acting is still cringe. (I love him anyway.)
I didn't watch anything else, but will definitely catch up with Murderbot this week (still reading the novellas).
p.s.: oh i forgot, I found Christian Ulmen's series Mann/Frau on youtube (also thanks to my French friend), and it's a lot of fun. Five-minute episodes (a lot of them) about a man and a woman in Hamburg. Fun and quirky. They're here: https://www.youtube.com/@pulsreportage/search?query=mann%2Ffrau (there's no playlist but they play more or less in order as suggested)
