Daredevil Reborn .03: continues to be captivating. It also ad me muse on how Netflix wildly varied with its presentation of the fictional NYPD. ( Spoilery musings ensue. )
Wheel of Time 3.01 - 3.03: Still haven't read the books, still am very entertained and pleased by the show. BTW, Elayne being called Elayne didn't register with me as Arthurian last season, but the last episode giving her brothers Gwaine and Galahand and a mother Morgause, just spelled a bit differently but certainly sounding like these names, had me snort. And hellow, awesome actress from The Expanse as Elaida! Now I'm listening to a spoilerfree for newbies (like me) commentary podcast which I like but which briefly took me out of my enjoyment when the host said there were only two fictional characters he hated, and one cwas a character introduced in this episode, and the other was Gaeta from Battlestar Galactica. Why would anyone hate Gaeta? #JusticeforGaeta !
Lastly: there is now a German version of Ghosts. (Thanks to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kathyh, I'm familiar with the British original but not the US version.) I's a pretty successful adaptation, and like the reviewer below, I'm amused and impressed at some of the choices specific to these version that took into account you can't literally do the same thing in a German context. (For example, making the military ghost NOT a 20th century German colonel, either WWI or WWII, for all the obvious reasons but a Roman soldier instead, and making the Pat the male boyscout character instead a female very early 1980s earnest idealist type. I fully expect Svenja to have been on all the anti nuclear power demonstrations and at Wackersdorf.) See also this review:
