Forget
This is described as a fast paced scifi thriller with mystery and revenge. Niklas is boffing the blonde roommate – a toxic consequence of something. The shrink is not to be trusted. Mia has bitter amazement. There is damning evidence and banal likelihoods and a clevage exposing dress. This was florid. There are crucial decisions and the evil doc is agitating.
This is highly unlikely. The evil doc ignores the guilting. Mia is anxiety inducing. I don't find this convincing. The reporter is evil. Mia demands a reckoning. Don't Jasper or Mia ever go to class? Where's the hamster? People are hugely irresponsible. There is a bleak present situation and this was dismal. It's all about Mia, all the time.
There is increasingly counterproductive isolation. Mia's throwing away her hard worn credibility. Mia is stubborn and obdurance and bonding with Jasper. There are serious deficiencies. There is stark reality. What about the hamster? Bad things are perpetrated. Toxic and corrosive things happen. There is grief and Mia is tactily discouraged. Don't people know that Mia's real name is Emma? There are dark feelings and painful feelings and regrettable happenings.
This was inconvenient. There is no social desirability or clarity. The hampster has died. Mia cries. There is frustration and unfairness. Things are attributable. The blonde flaunts Niklas in Mia's face. Niklas has turned into a tool. The devil doc was sorta held responsible. There are desperately unfair times and no solidarity.
Baddies have perpetual domination. There is no fascination. Mia has been given mad cow disease on purpose. There is trauma and awkward interactions and inevitable doom and evaporation of logic. Mia wants a cure. She's irrational and there is damage. Mia asks 2 of her friends for help but not blondie. Mia negatively impacted lives. One is truly incredulous at how bad and boring this season is depsite turbulent times. Jasper is kind and supportive.
The evil doc is no longer well thought of. What was the point of Uli and his bimbo? This was cringe worthy. There is a predicament and hacking and petty vindictiveness. People are negatively affected. People act chaotically. There is stress, anxiety and fear. Does Jasper have sincerity? People are reprehensible. Mia is unfavourably viewed. Sense is blatantly ignored and disregarded. This is a continuous and vast narrative. Mia is dismissive and unmanageable. There is no constant vigilance just a prevalence of evil.
Mia has cognitive decline. This is of marginal benefit. This was dismal and it comes to nothing. Is Jasper being calculated and deliberate? This show has limited success. Jasper IS plotting.

The World Turned Upside Down
Another documentary about the 1996 murder case which casts long shadows. This unlike the disgusting 'Murder At The Cottage', focuses on the victim and her family. Sophie's murder was the first in living memory in the small vilalge. Ian Bailey reported on the murder and then was named as the suspect. Sophie's family speak and cry and talk about what she was like.
What was to follow the murder was bizarre. The situation escalated. Bailey is volatile. Sophie's family are remarkable and relentless in their pursuit of justice in the face of offical idiocy. Local blow ins talk. The local cop smoked a pipe. The killer left to trace. Sophie is given depth. The situation was not good. Bailey is seedy. Something really alarming happened the night of the murder. Sophie's husband was high profile. We are shown the reconstruction of the case in which the actress playing Sophie wore a bad wig. People have dated hair. This was good.

Lia bores and stares. This show is so frustratingly lacklustre. Lia talks to a rich nutter. Lia's mother shows up.
Best Lines:
“Pray no one ever found me again.”
“Everything you have built will be burnt to the ground.”
“Didn't belong in the room but was there anyway.”
A Simple Life
Louis Ferreira shows up. Lia wonders about the big discovery made at Limetown. Bad things happen. Why is nothing happening?

The Stand 1x03
Blank Page
We get a Nadine flashback. Harold drove away Frannie. Stu annoys. Creepy things occur. Why is the 2020 version of Nick so racist and offensive compared to the 1994 version? Tom shows up, the 1994 version was better. the non linear storytelling and non adherence to the book and lame version of Flagg ruin this. Also Flagg did not groom Nadine. This version of Nadine is evil and wants to be Flagg's queen - oh FFS! Amber Heard can't act. Nadine is told to make Harold a weapon. This was horrid in every way.
