Anyone else watch "The Recruit" on Netflix?

What a fun, crazy, fast paced, brilliantly shot show. I sure hope they make a second season and don't cancel it like so many shows these days.

@jordanscollected I currently do when working out. It's indeed fairly witty, and I'd like to see more of it.

Watched the first season of The Peripheral on Amazon. I enjoyed it, but…

I don't understand why adaptations make some of the changes that they do. Some things don't translate well between mediums, and I understand changing those. But others seem changed for change's sake. I guess producers want to put their own stamp on things? Maybe they think they're better writers?

As always, the book is better, and not just because books are a superior medium to TV and film insofar as they engage the imagination more. As a huge William Gibson fan, I came into it with very low expectations and an understanding that it couldn't match what Gibson put in my head, so I was able to cope with the license they took with the material, even if I didn't understand why they did in some cases. All in all, recommended, and if I'm trying to be fair, highly recommended, because not everyone is obsessed with Gibson and will have as critical an eye as mine. Then again, among his fanbase, I think I'm probably a pretty tame critic and more willing to accept shortcomings.

I hear they're going to try and adapt Neuromancer to TV or film, which is exciting and dreadful. The Sprawl trilogy has always struck me as an insanely difficult adaptation.

Just watched the "Moon Knight" series on Disney+; it's excellent.

Big fan of dystopian sci fi and particularly cyberpunk and especially William Gibson.

Not a huge anime guy so will have to see how that lands when I get back on Netflix.

Enjoyed S2 of "The White Lotus"

My guilty pleasure is Wednesday.  But I also loved Sabrina.

Has anyone,especially in the UK,ever seen a show called The IT Crowd? It's currently streaming on Netflix,aired a while ago,and I think it's hands down one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

So true…[emoji849]

My son suggested it to me. I can’t get over how good it is.

A bit more out there and esoteric than IT crowd but a really funny show is Toast of London starring Matt berry

[Seul]

I've been watching GREEN WING… FFO Smack the Pony, Spaced,... TOAST OF LONDON (and lately TOAST OF TINSELTOWN) is excellent, of course...
