Today I learned that only three streaming services actually turn a profit:

-Netflix
-Hulu
-Max (No, really)

DropoutTV not only turned a profit last year, they did profit-sharing with the talent and crew. Pretty cool for a smaller ad-free streamer.

Extraordinary season 2 is really good, but the weird ad breaks in the middle of scenes is criminal on the part of Hulu.

2 episodes into 3BP and I can't quite describe why, but the dialogue just feels off. The non-subtitled parts feel like a poorly translated dub like one of the spanish/italian series that Mrs McHuge watches.

I'm also severely struggling with the whole "all the particle accelerators in the world are malfunctioning in the same exact way at the same time and producing results that are against the laws of physics, better shut down all research!". If that were to happen it would be one of the most noteworthy scientific discoveries in decades, there is no way they would be shutting down programs.

Just finished the netflix "documentary" The Antisocial Network and there seems to be a lot of important context missing. Wasn't Moot banned from SA for being a pedo and that's why he started 4chan?

My wife needs some recommendations for easy watching. She is looking for shows with female leads, something light hearted, but doesn't have to be a comedy per se. Her favorite show of all time is Gilmore Girls. Other shows she likes:
Zoey's Infinite Playlist
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Bonus if the shows also have music/musicals. She is almost done with Call the Midwife, which she really enjoys as well.

Is this Saito from Tokyo Vice? The age and name lines up as well as being the oyabun of the Sumiyoshi-kai, which is a really similar name to the Chahira-Kai in the TV series.
