I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.

Oh, OK thanks. Leaves me out for now.
I loved the series that the Luke Cage series was spun off from (Jessica Jones), with Krysten Ritter from "The Bitch in Apt.23" as a quasi-super power hottie who recruits Luke Cage, but I love Krysten Ritter.
Will have to check out Luke on his own.

The OA.
It's on Netflix.
0 out of 6 hours... of my life I'll never get back. A colossal waste of time.

I'm really liking the OA as well. I'm through 3 episodes.
I'm fascinated by Leah Remini's A & E expose of Scientology, the closest thing to Nazi Germany on the planet masquerading as a religion (they even wear uniforms & salute their superiors in the hierarchy). In the 80s, I worked with someone who left Scientology who because of that was "disconnected" by and had not spoken to her mother or 2 siblings for over 8 years!, so when Leah (& her partner Mike Rinner, former Scientology big shot who also woke up) talk to people (several so far, and the series is probably going to have a season 2) who break down telling similar horror stories, I believe it.
In addition to exposing the atrocities (people being beaten up as well!), they are also working with attorneys to try to build a case to take to court to eliminate Scientology's tax exempt status, which would go a long way to cripple the evil empire.

We're getting set to watch The OA once we are done with Black Mirror season 3, I've heard mostly good things.

I really like it. It's kind of like a modern Twilight Zone in some ways - each episode is a completely separate story, all with different actors, with the general theme being the evils of modern (and near-future) technology. It's a tad frightening because most of the stuff they show I could see happening.

I LOVE Black Mirror! I'm savouring the episodes by only watching them one at a time in between other shows...Currently finishing up Hell On Wheels. A good series but 5 seasons is long enough....

So far I'm enjoying OA and Black Mirror has been pretty cool. A couple duds, but overall excellent. About to start season 3.

Watching The Crown with the wife as she's a huge royalty nut, surprisingly enjoying it, seems reasonably historically accurate & doesn't flinch from portraying some of their character defects.

Guess I'll be checking out Black Mirror after I'm done with OA.

I really liked The Crown. Lithgow was particularly impressive.
Finished the first two seasons of Black Mirror, will start on 3 soon. Watched the first two episodes of The OA and am intrigued enough to continue.
