All I am going to say on the Jimmy situation is that I am not shocked by the hypocrisy shown by the right, only at the speed at which it has been implemented. Now, on to less weighty matters.

Here’s a quick overview of my opinion on streaming media lately.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Season 3 was not as hard-hitting and not as good as season 2. With only 10 episodes per season, they need to be more selective about which ideas are implemented. I am staying with the series, but this was a little disappointing.

Foundation: Season 3 brought us the end of the Genetic Dynasty, and we have lost one of my favorite characters from the series. The Empire in its form for the last few thousand years has fallen, and the surprises about the Mule were revealed. I never read the books—Asimov’s fiction I found far too dry—but I am really enjoying the series.

1670: Our favorite 17th-century backwater Polish sitcom has returned to Netflix with the fantastically stupid and scheming local lord still making a fool of himself. We kicked off season 2 with a trip to foreign lands and likely a war with the Turks.

Reindeer Mafia: After much waiting and searching to find the series, thanks to a friend tipping us off that the streaming service MHz was having a sale, my sweetie-wife and I are finally watching this Nordic Noir series. Set in Lapland, Finland, the show follows a minor criminal family, their allies and enemies, as a scramble for land and power is ignited by the matriarch’s death, bringing long-buried secrets to the surface.

Slow Horses: Season 4 of the fantastic spy series starts next week, and I am quivering with anticipation. This show lands in the sweet spot between Fleming’s fantasies and le Carré’s cold cynicism.
