"Stay away from most popular entertainment. Most of what passes for legitimate entertainment is inferior or foolish and only caters to or exploits people's weaknesses.
Avoid being one of the mob who indulges in such pastimes. Your life too short and you have important things to do. Be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit into your mind. If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. It is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into vulgarity. But there's no need for that to happen if you determine not to waste your time and attention on mindless pap." - Epictetus ---In [email protected], <noozguru@...> wrote : "Between" debuted last night no Netflix. Yes really, last night. It was announced to debut the 21st but as of late afternoon all you could do was put in your "wish list". But checking a little after 9 PM there it was. Unlike other "Netflix originals" they will be launching a new episode weekly instead of all at once. Part of this may be due to a deal with a Canadian broadcaster who will be showing it over the air. OTOH, NBC is supposedly launching all episodes of "Aquarius" at once VOD. "Between" is an apocalyptic thriller about the community of "Pretty Lake" where suddenly and mysterious people over 21 begin to die off. This reminds me of the TV show "Eight Feet Under" about a family of undertakers. Guess none of their comp sci students will ever live to have a job at Google or Netflix. The series is by a producer of "24" and I thought the first episode was quite good but then apocalyptic thrillers if not too sophomoric are my "cuppa tea".
