Great plot, great acting, great production design. I would be very surprised if this doesn’t get its flowers come awards season.
Crimson Sky and the final conversation between Toranaga and Yabushige are some of the things that I’ll be thinking about for quite some time. I’m not very familiar with Anna Sawai’s work, but I loved her acting here. The tea ceremony with her husband is another one of her great moments that’s sort of seared in my memory.

This is a Rec on how to stay sane, not how to get out, unfortunately.
I have been (mostly) unemployed for like almost a year aside from short stints or gigs. it’s been awful awful awful BUT AMC A List became my light at the end of the tunnel, truly.
$25 a month for 3 “free” movies every week. I use it as a treat after trudging through applications or to have something to look forward to. And, yes, you can watch as many free movies as you want on your laptop in your room but having a place to go or a plan at the end of a grueling day is great.

Pretty fun and got the vibe of the games fairly well. I ended up finishing all episodes in one sitting.
The Westworld folks produced this, so while it’s no Westworld, you can feel Jonathan Nolan/Lisa Joy‘s influence all throughout.
Not perfect but still one of the better video game adaptations (The Last of Us episode 3 is pretty hard to top). Plus the setting is a goldmine to tell more, better stories in future seasons or spin-offs.

My Lady Jane is a fun, entertaining, binge-able fantasy retelling of the life of Lady Jane Grey, queen for all of nine days. Sometimes, that’s all you really need.

I’ve read the book, I’ve seen the movie. I know how it ends. But guess what, it’s still a good show. The TV format catered really well to the original conceit of the book, with each episode covering a year, and was able to really explore the depth of Dex and Em’s relationship.
That being said, my age is really showing, cause I’ve become less forgiving than before of Dex’s red flag ways. I actually felt bad for the people they were in a relationship with at any given time, cause these two have been living the boy/girl bestfriend trope for decades.
