Another week, another cold. This was a full on snot ridden mother of a cold but it’s passing now. Finally.
Media
Watched Detroit this week. Powerful and hard to watch in places but magnificent at the same time. Caught up on the last few Star Trek Discovery episodes. Since it’s break it has really hit it’s stride with surprising twists and some great stories.
Also watched the first two episodes of Altered Carbon. It looks amazing but leans a little too much on Blade Runner. Not sure if it’s just a typical cop drama dressed in sci-fi clothes.
