I think it was on the IFC channel or some such here.

Just seen it on Amazon and concur with everything you say. Thought it started slowly and was going to be likeable but humdrum until the Barbie scene which had me giggling greatly and it all kicked off from there. Especially agree about the soundtrack. Most of it is going to appear in my next DJ set.

Watched Lady Bird. Enjoyed it, but didn't really get the hype. Possibly because it was my era of being a teenager and the life stories of virtually any one of my contemporaries were all more interesting.
Three episodes into Picard. More watchable than I was expecting. I used to watch Star Trek with my dad when I was a kid (mostly next generation and voyager with a bit of the original series and deep space nine thrown in for good measure). Then I went off it for ages, too much of a good thing. I've seen the recent films and while they're enjoyable, they don't really have the same feel to them any more. There's none of the optimism that the future might be better and egalitarian and hopeful. This Picard one is equally bleak.
Watched the last two episodes of The Good Place. Made me cry. As far as I'm concerned they wrapped it up about as well as they possibly could.
I've finished season two of The Crown. Don't know how I feel about a whole change of cast for the next season. Probably won't get a chance to find out for a while (too busy).

Caught a Netflix doco on Taylor Swift. Interesting some of the material left in - assuming subject had final say on edits as it does look very much a PR piece. Honest about eating disorders, happy to be shown without make-up etc. Interesting insights into why she took a political stand and the opposition she faced from within her management team. A bit disjointed but some fascinating vision of her creative process.

4 episodes in and I reckon there’s been about an episode’s worth of programme.

Picard is dreadful. He didn't like data on TNG, yet he's robot jesus on this.
Ridiculous scene where him and robot lady jesus are running up the stairs, because the 1st thing you'd do when trying to escape is make an 80 year old man run up several flights of stairs, yes, excellent plan... Thing is, they only run up there to set up the fight scene on the rooftop, because they're trying to stretch a films worth of script over a whole season. And the show is riddled with such things.
It pays zero heed to the source material beyond surface level details like 'he likes earl grey tea!' Cue him mentioning it at every turn...
The Mandalorian is high-art in comparison, that's a worthy investment of your limited, precious time.

I may try to see that.
Duran Duran are the only 80’s band that I liked way more during the 80’s than I do now. Even with the nostalgia, they just don’t do anything for me for some reason, whereas I still have Flock of Seagulls, Men at Work, Real Life, and a bunch of other MTV favorites on my playlist.

I hadn't read about the John Hughes influence on Sex Education until the last page of that scene but the girls ending up in detention was right out of the Breakfast Club.
I'm into the second season of a binge of Dexter. It's crazy how bad the show looks in terms of cinematography and the writing feels like something crafted for Lifetime Movie Network made for TV movie ("Step Mom Stalker" and the like) but I'm enjoying the general premise of a serial killer working as a crime scene detective. So, I'll stick with it while there's nothing else fighting for my viewing attention other than football.

The wife and I are one episode away from completing The Stranger - we've loved it but I'm concerned by what I've read about the conclusion (no spoilers, just people disappointed in it).
Last night, whilst ironing, I also watched Uncut Gems which I thought was fantastic. Adam Sandler is clearly playing his best role and he plays it perfectly. It's quite breathless as the film just doesn't rest for the whole 2 and a bit hours of it's running time.
