Now watching

Yesterday, bestie and I started watching the Sky TV series "Lockerbie", https://m.imdb.com/title/tt31029686/.

As the name suggests (full name is "Lockerbie: a search for truth), it's based on the events that happened in December 1988, with the plane crash at Lockerbie. And it follows the story of a dad of one of the people that died, Dr. Jim Swire (portrayed by Colin Firth).

I had heard about the events, but as I was only 8 at the time, and the news was a lot different than how it is today, I didn't really know too much a out it. Just that there was a bomb on a plane and it crashed, killing almost 300 people.

I'm in episode 3 now, out of 5, and it's very interesting so far. Absolutely horrible, but also very interesting.

Some info from Wikipedia on the crash/events and the series:

If you are interested in things like this, and you have access to the series, it could be worth a watch.

Happy FriYAY Eve & June

Saw the episode "The Midnight Sun" last night

So terrifying. And sad...

Probably the Twilight Zone episode that upset me the most.

He visto la miniserie televisiva francesa El Colapso / L'Effondrement, me ha dejado muy impactado, y me pregunto cómo es que no es mucho más conocida. O igual sólo fui yo que no me enteré en su día (2019-20) y no me he cruzado con ella en todo este tiempo.

Altamente recomendada. Y no ha perdido nada de actualidad. Al contrario.............................

What a surprise to see Peter Falk in a Twilight Zone episode!

I wasn't expecting it at all. Even less so in the role of a ruthless dictator.

I checked, almost 10 years separate this episode from the Columbo series

The Housewives are not the most desperate here XD

I just finished a rewatch of Star Wars Andor Season 1, before starting Season 2.

Damn. I'd forgotten exactly how great this show is. By far the best of the all series. No surprise really since I consider Rogue One easily the best of the movies, with The Empire Strikes Back as a strong second.

In fact, Rogue One is on my top 10 movies list.

Looking forward to start on Andor Season 2.

I started watching season 3 of The Twilight Zone

And it's very good! Especially the 3rd episode ("The Shelter"), which reminded me of Luis Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel

Can't wait to see the rest!

Alors OK, la série Black Mirror est censée être un peu cynique, tout ça, mais "Common people", l'épisode 1 de la saison 7 il m'a collé le cafard mais d'une force ! C'est très réussi et l'angoisse était très communicative mais Wow je sais pas pourquoi cet épisode m'a déprimé à ce point.

Uzo Aduba als Cordelia Cupp in "The Residence".

This season finale of the White Lotus was not totally unpredictable, but it was darker than usual, wasn't it?

(and I was denied the one happy ending I wanted)
