No, his Far East novels are sort of interconnected but often 100s of years apart

I didn't realize this either. I had a friend in college who was obsessed with these books, but not having read them myself I always thought they were part of the same series/story.

Just wrapped up the Disney+ Beach Boys doc and it’s done really well. Nothing groundbreaking for those that are fairly familiar with the band and I wish they spent more time on the post-Pet Sounds era but they got lots of quality interview clips and it’s fun to hear their take on things. They even managed to keep Mike Love from looking like the giant asshole he is. I’d be excellent primer for anyone looking to dive into The Beach Boys catalog for the first time.

I have no power at my house right now due to a freak thunderstorm on Tuesday morning. This is the first thing I’m watching when the power returns.

A lot of my co-workers in the Dallas area are dealing with the same thing. Hope you stay cool and they get things up and rolling again for ya soon.

I need everyone who likes action and humour and good acting and beautiful directing of a show shot entirely in Japan to go watch "House of Ninjas" on Netflix immediately.

It's a house, full of goddamn ninjas y'all GO GIT IT

Why am I picturing this like a spin-off of What We Do in the Shadows.

Haha no it's more like a Marvel show but done really well with better acting and directing and cinematography and some of the best ninja fight scenes you've ever seen. It's also got a lot of wry humor, it kinda jumps between a lot of genres, action, horror, comedy. It's very slick.

So, like, a Japanese version of The Incredibles?

I am more of a Beverly Hills Ninja, Surf Ninjas or Three Ninjas kinda guy. How does this compare to those?

I only watched the first episode when it came out. Worth sticking with it then?

Getting a bit of an The Americans vibe as well.

I binged the first season of White Lotus in a few days and really enjoyed it. Started the 2nd season last night (1 ep) and felt like it was a bit of a struggle. Anyone else feel the same? Does it pick up?

It definitely does. I think the early episodes of a show like White Lotus are tough because you have an almost entirely new cast. I prefer season two to season one probably just slightly. Hang in there and you will be rewarded.

Perfect, thanks! I actually watched the second episode in my lunch break and it has definitely picked up already.

I binged the first two seasons of Shoresy this week, what a fun show! But now I want a 'stick, dammit.
