    I got around to finishing Interior Chinatown (hulu) and was disappointed. I don’t want to spoil it for others, but I think I can safely complain that it wrapped things up in an unsatisfying manner.

    I always watch ‘Elsbeth’ because my mother watches it.

    I stumbled onto The CW’s ‘Good Cop/Bad Cop’ last week and watched all the current episodes this week because it seems exactly like the thing my mom will enjoy: a mix somewhere between the setting and townie bonding of ‘Resident Alien’ (with no Alien or other-worldly aspects) and the silly sleuthing of ‘Elsbeth’ (without the expensive sets and celebrities).

      I both agree and disagree with you on 《Interior: Chinatown》, it was unsatisfying in quite a few ways. But also foreshadowed and fit enough for me to have called it from quite early on. Then about half way through figured they were doing something else with it and then it became obvious that it was in fact that again towards the end.

      Liked a lot of what it did and a lot of what was going on, but yeah… Didn’t quite gel and makes less sense the more you think about it.

      Tap for spoiler

      That it’s all purgatory. But then why this genre of shows, do non-Asians keep coming back? It dilutes the overall conceit of procedural cop show from supporting case/racialised lens. Oh well.

    I just finished Lost for the first time, and now I’m frantically looking to answers on things that where left untold. Turns out, if you follow carefully all the episodes and the clues, you get all the answers you are going to get, and the rest is intentionally left to speculation. Which is so good and so bad at the same time

    I’m still making my way through the chronological order of Star Trek. I’m halfway through season 4 (last season) of Star Trek: Enterprise. I’ve been enjoying it.
