I watched the entire season of “North of North” yesterday and it was an absolute joy. Anna Lambe was so good!

It's been a while since I saw such a fun lighthearted show. I can't wait to finish the season and I hope it gets renewed 🤞

It really is! I'm glad I read your recommendation because I think I would have totally missed it if people hadn't started raving about how good it is.

I’ve been watching Ransom Canyon. It’s my what Beth would call Hear Me Out show! I’ve also started Maid.

I immediately thought about Beth's hear me out article when I saw the trailer for Ransom Canyon 😂. It does look like a pretty good guilty pleasure romance.

I was curious about Maid. How do you like it so far?

I completely agree that Hacks is best when Debra and Ava are buds. But they seem fated to always be at odds.

Yes they keep going back and forth but this season seems hard to come back from. At least just based on the first episode.

I watched “Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing” as well, I cannot imagine the environment living in that house with the constant pressure to make content or be kicked out especially when your young and everything just feels so much bigger. I had not heard of this story before and was surprised by how dark the show became with the main girl now being on a paid platform that somehow allows child content, so gross.

As for me, this week the main things I watched (other than The Pitt) were our Canadian leadership debates and Wrestlemania. I have only seen a couple episodes of Black Mirror, the one I remember most was called “Shut Up and Dance”, I am interested in watching it again but never know if I should start from the beginning or just watch the most interesting sounding episodes.

I think you can just watch the most interesting sounding episodes for Black Mirror. The only exception is USS Calister in this season which is a sequel. Everything else is stand alone. Shut up and dance still haunts me. It's one of the darker ones.

And I see we are watching the same docuseries usually. It's insane how the mom is pimping out her daughter to predators 😨. This platform that also allowed content from minors but the users can only be 18+... I don't know what to do but it's one of those things that I wish I had more energy and time to actively fight.

I am with you. I need the developers of Substack to fix the search functionality, It's impossible to search for things and likeminded people.

Thank you! So it's not just me not being able to use the search. I also noticed this weekend that the TV & Movies category I had on my notes feed just disappeared. Now I have just boring stuff like Politics and Crypto.
