What’s everyone watching? I did a big Netflix binge of GLOW last night – the new dramedy starring Alison Brie, based on the 1980s women’s wrestling show. Think Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair, but with chicks. Good lightweight viewing and I love the 80s soundtrack, but not the flashbacks of my bouffy hair or gym lycra.
Mr Juz is also making me watching the new TV show The Mist. As with the movie (based on Stephen King’s novella), people start dying when a strange fog blankets their town. But because it’s a series they’ve had to add some family drama and teen angst and spread the focus to various locations around the town, not just the supermarket setting of the movie. The acting and special effects are pretty bad and there are a lot of people going off on their own, two minutes after watching someone die after doing exactly the same thing. So, it’s a good show if you like yelling at your TV “you idiot – as if you’d do that!”.
