As a kid I was raised hearing "it's only just a movie" or "it's only
just a TV show." Line on air. I've been in the entertainment business
all my life through different venues. I like to see what other artists
are doing and how they are doing it. All entertainment is just a hybrid
of story telling that originated around campfires at night.
Does that help?

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

"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".
