I made it through the first eight minutes of Without Remorse, and all of twenty five minutes of the new season of Handmaid's Tale. I, like the rest of the world, loved the first season but it's just relentlessly bleak and depressing. And Without Remorse filled me with the same feeling. And I like Michael B. Jordan, (although The NY Times including him on its list of the 25 greatest actors would be the single biggest joke ever perpetrated by film critics if the list didn't also include Keanu Reeves). Maybe it's the feeling that after a year of covid lockdowns, we need something other than stale formats and endless darkness. And a break from Prime/Netflix's obsession for superheroes and action franchises wouldn't hurt either.

Hopefully Prime will be dropping their "Wheel of Time" and Tolkien TV series fairly soon, here; enough to give us a bit of a break from all the superhero stuff (and I say that as someone who's been absolutely enjoying "Invincible" on Netflix recently).
