Jack Ryan: Falcon (2022)
Since when does Greece have a beach on the black sea....
In the opening of Season 3 we watch Jack use a small rubber ducky/boat to board a cargo ship in the BLACK sea, then proceeds to a beach in Greece - without going through Istanbul or the Dardanelles Strait - Obviously, the Greeks must have invaded Bulgaria.... This does remind me of the old joke "Q: Why do Americans start wars? A: To learn geography"
Apart from this obvious blooper the show really is pedestrian, and there are no characters that you care about, without any sympathetic characters the film is just a collection of scenes and chases. I guess this is OK but a computer game has more interest.
Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge (2020)
Context for the recent USA "happenings" - an insight into a splintered society.
This provides an interesting overview of how the USA got to where it is now - very timely, even though the timing was accidental. Yes, I have seen a lot of these previously, but this series provides a snapshot of a vastly different society than what we might expect from a wealthy and "advanced" society. If you have an inclination, you may like to read Fantasyland by Kurt Andersen, or search out some of the in-depth reviews.
