We're about to watch the last episode of mash in the next couple of days. The somewhat hilarious part is, we've also been watching deep space nine concurrently, then Rosalind chow, who played Mrs O'Brien in the latter, plays in the last two episodes of the former.
[QUOTE=UNK;1424520]Documentary of a non profit anti human trafficking operation conceived of and led by a former Federal LEO who wanted to go where the US govt couldnt go. Excellent show I think many here will enjoy it. They have a website where you can buy branded merch and/or make donations

Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
Let the Right One In - based on the movie
Lesson - don't go H2H with a 12 year old vampire girl. You may think you have the drop on her with your Glock or AR. You don't.
The Gospel of Luke (Amazon Prime/FreeVee) Gripping portrayal of the Christmas story. I've watched this since it's Netflix debut- to Prime- to FreeVee. Along with The Gospel of Matthew (Amazon Prime/FreeVee) I think it poignantly and accurately portrays what first-century Christians believed.
Amazon Prime. Complete 2 season limited series of twelve 30 minute episodes.
An unnamed young woman without a filter, who narrates the story through the 4th wall, navigates her lonely and empty life in London.
Superficially a-quite funny-comedy it actually explores isolation, self destructive and sabotaging behavior, grief and unbearable guilt.
Extremely well written, it develops a cast of characters that evolve, sometimes, and devolve other times, who sometimes reveal their deepest feelings through wrong-footing and comic exposition.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge stars and adapted this from her play portraying a walled off, sarcastic and too-smart-for-her-own-good woman succumbing to despair. Failing to recover and move on from the recent tragic death of her best friend , she is engaged in driving away the very limited support she has from her family and anyone who shows any interest in helping her. Pretending to have no fucks to give, she tries to cope through random, inappropriate sex with man-boy partners, petty thievery from people who anger her, and being as edgy as possible all the time.
Script, cast and direction are first rate, with some very clever concepts and payoffs, including a simple cinematic metaphor done with the 4th wall that I've never seen before that has enormous impact.
Unexpected and recommended.
Watched the finale of this season's White Lotus, entertaining show of corrupt and self indulgent rich folks in wacky scenarios.
Tactical lessons for PF. If you intend to kill someone, don't wander away from your man purse with your little chromed Beretta, such that the intended victim can then kill you all with it. Second, if you jump overboard, go feet first and don't land your head on something. Third, the nice hooker just wants your money. She doesn't love you.
