I suddenly miss Spooks/MI-5. Why are the Brits so good at police/spy drama?
What platform?

I was prepared for it to be slow paced and liked a lot of things about this show. But it really dragged in the middle part of the season and got kinda tedious imo. Could have been 4 or 5 episodes instead of 8 imo. And there is some action but it's really more of a dark romantic comedy than an action thriller.
In other news I watched a new movie called Freelance on Hulu last night. Not amazing but I'd recommend it to fans of John Cena and Alison Brie and action comedy type stuff.

On what's basically a shoestring budget for movies these days, Takashi Yamazaki crafted a masterpiece full of action, heart, grief, redemption, and at times, sheer terror. At times, this film felt like the original Jaws. The new score (and the old one from the 54 film) punctuated the emotional moments brilliantly. It was beautifully shot.
Yamazaki said in a recent interview that he'd love to direct a Star Wars film one day as he is a big fan. If Disney was smart they'd grant his wish immediately and if he did he could take my money right now.

Thanks for this recommendation! Took my teenager to see it and she was thrilled. Best movie I’ve seen at the theater in years. Best Godzilla movie ever by far…..but an even better movie for showing impact of WW2 on everyday life and the failings of Japanese government and leadership.

One of my favorite films of all time and I absolutely loved this song by Fiona Apple. The subtext in this film was just <chef's kiss>
It's remarkable how the subtext is even more relevant today than it was 25 years ago. Not to mention the school teacher anticipating the floods, fires, etc. due to global warming.
