The theme is pretty far reaching but for me basically there’s a big gap between the way things are presented to us and realty. Some of it is deception and part collective fantasy. Especially how we see ourselves as a nation ---

It’s very watchable, even if it feels like he just stitches clips of whatever together to suit his narrative. Also; the 70’s and 80’s have never looked so grim. ---

I never realised that The League of Gentlemen made 3 new episodes in 2017. Watched them tonight. Enjoyable but kind of just an bit of a brief update and a little closure for some characters. It does leave it open for more…but they did another live show after that, so maybe it was all wrapped up there? Anyhow…was nice. ---

I’ve been watching Squid Game 2 and 3. All I can say is, the Hide & Seek episode is a shocker. ---
