Reviews
Valerie
Sistersong by Lucy Holland is a clever and modern adaptation of the Bone Harp
fairytale. Wake, Siren: Ovid Resung by Nina MacLaughlin was another clever
retelling, of all the discarded lovers of Greek myth. Legendborn is a magical
Black girl at college with some Arthurian myth, but better done than I'd
expected.
Lisa
Around the World in 80 Days. Great fun, actors enjoying themselves. Great
twists on the source material. On PBS, or Amazon Prime. Reasonable realistic.
Howard set his TiVo to record it, and the TiVo has been recording something
else. Will now look itup on prime…
Yochanan
Amazon Prime: Final (third) season of Hanna. Liked the first two seasons, and
was happy to see a third. Little disappointed. Didn’t have the same pull of the
first two. Story does come to a conclusion.
-Rick agrees that was fab for the first season.
The Wheel of Time. (Nothing about time travel) Interesting. Wasn’t drawn in by
the first couple episodes. Now up to #6 of 8. Slow burn, great world building.
A bit too talkie. Better than he thought.
-Rick - you should see the novels it was based on (re: talkie)
Rick
Resident Alien (SyFy) still good, very worth your time. Kind of a sitcom about
a fish out of water alien.
-JohnO: Andy Tudyk is the lead.
-Yochanan: Liked the beginning of the series, but SyFy has a weird on demand
issue that made it hard for hime to watch it.
-Howierd: Started a few episodes in, and took a few episode to figure it out.
JohnO
Astrid and Lilly Save the World (SyFy) Outcast girls accidentally open up a
gateway that lets strange monsters out. They get made into monster hunters.
Recommend as a fun thing to watch.
Rumor of the Week:
If you square an imaginary treasurers report, you get a negative balance!
