Needs Some Introduction

Another very entertaining episode, this week. Is Greg cheating or are we misreading all of this? Does Albie really have this little game?

Flynne's got the cramps real bad and can't quit Halloween. Conner gets to run again. Lev watched Highlander one too many times and everyone goes to the weirdest cemetery/museum ever.

Sona has a much more positive initial reaction to the second season of the series than the first. I find myself actually interested in all of these characters. 

Then I briefly review the excellent new thriller on Netflix, The Stranger. And Sona took my recommendation to watch Barbarian, on HBO, and she didn't love it.

Is that my attention starting to drift or is it just my haptics. 

Plus, my suggested episode list for Netflix's Cabinet of Curiosities anthology.

It's been a bumpy ride but we made it to the end. We have some complicated feelings now that we have gotten this far.

Another mixed reaction to the show which just seemed to have found its rhythm. A lot happens but this show needs to do a lot of work to tie itself together in its final episode. 

Then, given my family roots in Westfield NJ, I am very disappointed with the Ryan Murphy Netflix adaptation of the true story of The Watcher. I'm sorry if I got you to watch this... or at least I hope you enjoyed it more than I did. You can read the original story on which this was purportedly based in the link below. I have also included some information on the OTHER Westfield mass murder that the show references.

Halloween Ends? I hope that's a promise. What a disappointing conclusion and that is given the mostly terrible list of films that preceded it. I do have my own corrections that may have helped to salvage this latest trilogy. 

Before that, we discuss the totally mediocre Hellraiser re-imagining. And I do have a pretty enthusiastic recommendation to the old-school horror romp of Marvel's Werewolf By Night on Disney+.

We have the absolute high point of the series, to date, with an excellent episode that makes some of the shakiest moments in the series worth while. Let's hope the quality only goes up from here.

Then we discuss the new Peacock series A Friend of the Family, a high quality affair that, perhaps, should not exist (??). 

I also briefly review and recommend The Midnight Club on Netlfix.
