The Trial of the Chicago Seven. Another instance of British actors stealing American jobs.  :mad:

I don't get the Walking Dead franchise. Why so many Brits in that?

Because Canadians mainly do comedy

So, Bly Manor... It [spoiler]picks up halfway in. When they cover Hannahs story et al it's good. Declines a bit more in the final episodes but decent enough. I find the stuff with the au pairs mirror ghost to be bolted on and a bit pointless, no conclusion there.
The very end was quite nice. The real versions of the characters[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Yeah, Hannah's ghost kind of disappeared on his own. And the second last episode, the huge back story, really slowed the pace down.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I thought it fitted in rather nicely because she had moved on. In the beginning nervous about reflections then a happy life and then devastating return of the OG Bly ghost.[/spoiler]

Unrelated, how is that Russian lake series?

I've watched only two episodes in so far. It's not bad. Pretty fast paced.

Borat 2. Rudy was an idiot.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Borat 2. Despite negative reviews it's good. I'm really curious quite who was an actor though. The q anon guys for instance.... Way too into it.
And holy poo we were on the brink of seeing Rudis dick.
The big where he goes to the Pence rally seems it would make headlines but I don't recall it.
I watched the original borat with my girlfriend a month ago and she didn't like it. She enjoyed this one though.

"Despite negative reviews". It's got 84% on Rotten Tomatoes.  :huh:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

It's pretty good...though it is like a lot of these shows...people doing irrationally stupid things all the time in order to heighten the drama.

What kinda surprised me though, is [spoiler]the episode with villagers taking up arms to fight off government troops going around "cleansing" population centers...how did that get by the Putin censors?  :P [/spoiler]

The big take for me was that holy crap but it was easy to entrap him. How many others already have?

True. Cohen may have missed a trick with this one right? The way it was all spun was in the general anti woman agenda of trump and co. Which is fair enough.
But the factor of how easy it would be for a "Russian reporter" to get black mail material.... Something could have been made of that. I guess they feared it may dilute the message.

It was like the exact same thing had happened to him before....
