* Tried watching the first episode of "Black Lightning", a DC superhero show that seems oddly timed to match the soon to be released Marvel "Black Panther" movie (which I doubt is funny enough for me to bother seeing.) Terrible.
* Am getting through the second series of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Yes, it's often very amusing. I haven't come across an episode yet which I felt didn't work at all. Also, in the Julia Louis Deyfus episode, I was surprised how ordinary and suburban her part of Hollywood (where she lives) looked.
* Watched the well reviewed movie "The Witch" on the weekend (I think it's a recent addition.) Well, it's very odd, I think, the way it comes across as a very authentic recreation of the isolation, hyper-religiosity and hysteria leading to the witch panics in New England, but then the ending seems to undercut it completely. While it looks very painterly and is pretty well directed, I just didn't get it...
