Been watching “Line of Duty” a UK BBC series about a police anti corruption unit. Brilliant plot twists. It’s one of those shows, like “Breaking Bad,” that, at the end of an episode, has you going, “What???!” and you HAVE to watch the next episode. I’m on season three. I read they got green lighted for season 8. Most popular show in the UK. Two thumbs up.

“Dinner For Few” is a ten minute CG-animated film depicting a sociopolitical allegory of our society. During dinner, "the system" works like a well-oiled machine. It solely feeds the select few who eventually, foolishly consume all the resources while the rest survive on scraps from the table. Inevitably, when the supply is depleted, the struggle for what remains leads to catastrophic change. Sadly, the offspring of this profound transition turn out not to be a sign of hope, but the spitting image of the parents. EMMY award winning animation artist Nassos Vakalis directed and wrote the film and the animation was produced in the United States of America and Greece with the technical and artistic collaboration of Eva Vomhoff from Germany. “Dinner For Few” is produced and funded by Nassos Vakalis and his wife Katerina Stergiopoulou. The original music is composed by Kostas Christides and performed by the Bratislava Symphonic Orchestra. “Dinner For Few” was inspired by the economic recession affecting South European countries like Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Nassos Vakalis grew up in Greece, where his family and most of his friends still live. “Dinner For Few” not only reflects his deep concern of the social and economic developments during the crisis but also highlights the inevitable and cyclical nature of the human affairs throughout history. Through its festival run “Dinner for few” screened at over 250 international film festivals and won 78 awards. It was one of the 60 Animated Shorts that Qualified for the Academy Awards in 2015.

I've been watching the Morning Show, mostly because I'm supposed to make an appearance in season 3. Stay tuned for details.

Someone else told me Ted Lasso. I'm reluctant because I'm not a soccer fan...
Most shows have a reason for characters interacting.
Could be family, or work or a bar or a Luxor resort.
Many of these shows rely more on character exposition than the overall setting to tell a good story

On this show, they interact because of work. And they work on a soccer team
No soccer love required
Good story telling imho

People really hyped TL. I was expecting it to be great.
i think it was uplifting, which made it different, in a good way
but I started watching it before the real hype
still haven’t started the last season yet
