Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is on my to-watch list, as is Shangri-La Frontier. Otherwise, I’m really interested in seeing how Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow looks in 4K UHD.” Blaine says, “nothing I’ve actually seen jumps out at me, although I have a morbid curiosity for Dinogeist that I may give in to should it ever show up on a streaming service I already subscribe to.”
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is on my list as well. The trailers looked interesting.
Not genre, but Abbott Elementary is good. It’s not quite Ted Lasso, but it’s got that feel-good vibe. I’m curious what our in-house teacher’s take on it might be.
Non-teachers keep recommending it, but I haven’t run into a teacher who has made time to watch it. Perhaps this summer. Much of my viewing lately is either the new Matlock or podcast related stuff. (Babylon 5, other shows JMS wrote for before B5, and shows they tie into, like the original Matlock and Diagnosis Murder.)
Is Sense8 going to be discussed after you’re done with B5 on the B5 podcast?
Just because there’s a number in the name, it is a very, very different show.
TBF, it’s an inner city school in the US. How that matches up to Canadian schools might not be right.
Quinta Brunson (star and creator of the series) is the daughter of an inner city school teacher, so she brings a lot of experience to the writing.
