The Pitt (2025) - 5/5 ER Nurses
My current favorite show on television. ER's successor and a truly fantastic first season. I missed shows like this and can't wait for season 2.

Chernobyl (2019) - DNF / 5 Crises
[DNF is an abbreviation for "Did Not Finish"]
I tried. I really tried. I gave the first episode half an hour. But I just couldn't get into it. The awfulness of it all being that raw and real is fantastic television. It is fantastic television which isn't for me.

I decided to put on Deadwood for a rewatch this evening and I was just reminded Ricky Jay was part of the cast. What an amazing man. I was reminded of this fantastic card routine of his.

The Flight Attendant
I finished season 2 of The Flight Attendant yesterday. Going into the series I had no real idea what it was about, I had heard something to do with the CIA - I think that was from a blurb on HBO Max. One day I put it on in the background and got sucked in.
It's not a John le Carre novel, but it does have intrigue. I figured out most of season 2 pretty early. But if you end up watching this for the spy/mystery, I think you'll be disappointed. It's much more about Cassie's (Kaley Cuoco) struggles with her alcoholism, mental health, dealing with trauma from an alcoholic father, as well as her own trauma caused on others.
Overall, the show is nothing mind blowing but I did find it interesting and a fine bit of media for when I'm working on other things and don't want to pay full attention. I give 3 out of 5 stars.

Finished Season 3 of Man in the High Castle and I began Season 4 but just am not feeling it right now. I might go back to it at some point, but I switched over to HBO Max and have been reminded of one of my favorite movies: The Mummy.
Released in, oh god, 1999. It ages well and is so very enjoyable as a silly adventure movie.
