I’ve had to finish with nearly all my clients, so am only able to work 2hrs a week for a while. Am planning on rewatching Lost, which is proving very enjoyable so far (I’d forgotten half of it so it’s like a new show), and might read that new bball book: Tanking to the Top:

Review
"Through exhaustive reporting, Yaron Weitzman expertly takes us on a thrill ride through perhaps the NBA's grandest and greatest experiment. The Process was Moneyball on steroids, and Weitzman is our nimble guide through all the drama inside of the board room and on the basketball court. It's the best NBA book in years."―Jonathan Abrams, New York Times bestselling author of All The Pieces Matter and Boys Among Men

"The Philadelphia 76ers are nervous about you reading TANKING TO THE TOP -- with good reason. Yaron Weitzman digs deep into the core of the organization's famous (and infamous) "Process," showing the reader every high, low, success, failure, and, yes, wart. It's a gem of a book; a gift to basketball junkies fascinated by mechanisms of the NBA."―Jeff Pearlman, New York Times bestselling author of Gunslinger and Boys Will Be Boys

"'The Process' was the boldest, brashest, diciest, most controversial roster-building exercise we've seen in the NBA. Sam Hinkie's gambit alarmed fans and outraged NBA executives -- and it worked. But the Sixers' rise from laughingstock to contender was so much more complex and layered than a two-word catch phrase. In TANKING TO THE TOP, Yaron Weitzman unearths new details and fresh insights, with an insider's expertise and a deft touch, providing the definitive account of this fascinating saga."―Howard Beck, senior NBA writer, The Bleacher Report

Anyone read it yet?

Also enjoying The Leftovers, which I’ve finally got round to seeing and is quite apt for the current situation!

Good times!

It's about a Ronin cursed with an infection that makes it impossible for him to die from anything but decapitation. Very gruesome scenes. Also catching up on Curb, The Outside and Better Call Saul. And of course, Westworld. I heard Picard isn't that bad. Will give it a shot.

Havent read the anime, but the movie is awesome. Watching Westworld too, Curb "Latté Larry" LMAO. No high speed internet out here in the sticks, but Id check out "the expanse" season 4 is on Amazon.

Akwafina is fing hilarious, funniest comedy central show since "Key and Peele". Going to watch "The Plot against America" as well. Not to mention "Better call Saul" is as good as ever.

The last season of the Expanse was really good. The first few episodes of season 1 drag a bit due to world building, but the series has consistently gotten better since. I haven't read the books, but I'm tempted. I read the manga for Blade before I saw the live action movie and I was pleasantly surprised. It's not as good as the manga because it was made before the series was completed, but it works pretty well as a stand alone. It goes over the top with the blood spurts and gore, but I consider that a plus. The Amazon anime is a straight adoption of the books. There's also an earlier anime adoption that was just OK.

Spot on about parts of season one dragging because of "world building". It was worth it because the show has an epic quality to it. Love the Blade films, although Snipes wss crowded out in the last one. Doesnt get enough credit for starting the whole Marvel machine.

Snipes was very gracious when he heard they were casting Ali as his replacement in a reboot. Looking forward to that film. Curious as to who they will cast as "Whistler", probably a Brit, lol.

If you end up loving it, I also recommend The Shield- feel that’s really not got the recognition it deserves
