WW2 In Color on Netflix, and I found it to be very well done and informative. I either didn't care in history class when they were talking about the war, or they just didn't cover that much of it. Either way in recent years I've decided my lack of education on the subject to be lacking and have really been enjoying learning new things about it.
Literally before I started researching it on my own, my only memories from high school on the war were as follows. I'm not sure if this is an indictment on American schools not covering much history outside of America, or if I was just a shit student.
Step 1: Lots of fighting in Europe, Hitler is good at speeches, FDR doesn't join because he's a biggity bitch Step 2: Japan bombs Pearl Harbor, America joins the war Step 3: America storms Normandy and Omaha (this part was reinforced by Call of Duty) Step 4: America tilts the scales and wins the war in Europe Step 5: America Nukes Japan, wins the war in Asia Step 6: Prosper

Just started His Dark Materials, the surprising part is I never read the books.

The Witcher is so fucking dope! I have just one episode left, this show is exactly what I wanted it to be, it's probably going to crack the top 10 all time list.

essien - please tell me you've seen some/all of Mr Robot Season 4. I'm up to ep 9 and it's easily the best the show has even been from a visionary and storytelling perspective. Also - smashed through Watchmen over Xmas. What a fantastic series that was. Nice seeing them retell a sequel of sorts to that story. Regina King is brilliant. Been smashing my way through Spinning Out on Netflix which is definitely my kind of show without being one to shout about. Got 2 eps into The Witcher and lost interest. Is it a show that only fans of the game seem to appreciate or does it just take time to get into it? Next on the list is playing catchup with The Deuce. Seasons 2 and 3 are finally on Now TV.

Witcher doesn't always spoon feed everything to it's audience, I loved the series without ever playing the games and I couldn't finish the books. It starts to answer its own questions and gets more clear as it goes on. One thing I will say is it has a very non linear storyline, 2 stories happening in the same episode could be happening 20 years apart from each other, even longer in some cases.

I'm sure I'll go back to it, just without the wife (She's mainly the one who hit the breaks).

Watched ''The Movies That Made Us''. Great insight about some of the classic movies and how they almost never got made. They also made ''The Toys That Made Us'' and I'm watching that about now.
I also saw that Titans season 2 is on Netflix tomorrow. Sex Education season 2 the week after so I'm stoked for those shows to return.

If you have any specific questions feel free to shoot me a dm, they could have explained certain things a lot better. Like a lot better lol.

Yeah, I kept up with it as it was going. The storytelling was next level - reminded me of peak Breaking Bad at times. I have to admit I still struggled with the plot a little, but it says a lot when you can still enjoy the show so much without having a total grasp on what's going on. You're in for a treat with the last few eps

You're in for a treat with the last few eps Finished it this morning. Really impressive. I feel like since s3 I managed to get my head around all of the Elliot-isms although with that double-ep finale, it threw it all up in the air again! Really enjoyed the show in the end, so glad I came back to it. Thanks for helping with that! Now onto The Deuce!

Finished Titans season 2 and Sex Education season 2 is now on Netflix and I'm almost done with that. Also I need to catch up on Westworld before season 3 starts.
