Babylon Berlin does a great job developing characters, Monarchists, Nazis, police, and Communists. Based upon a series of novels and real locations during the Weimar Republic. Women's bodies are exposed throughout the TV series. I enjoy seeing the indoors of apartments and homes, showing the lifestyle of people during the late 1920's and early 1930's. Corrupt policemen, monarchists and their failed attempt to use the Nazi to come back to power, and throw in the failed attempts for Communist overthrows and an underworld of Berlin gangsters. The novel Babylon Berlin is long and drawn out, while the TV drama is full of intrigue, violence, and raw erotic activities.

I had to say to my wife after watching, "I watched the show and Im not sure what is happening." So my wife explained that the demon in the house is the Class A demon and the other guy is a communicator who is affected by demons and tries to influence "weak" people on the internet to do "evil," like the mass shootings and ect. Its an interesting concept. The show "Between" was sort of like this and my wife and are reminded of Grimm as well. I personally would like to see Krampus appear on the side of the kids and save the day. That would give a "good" force to the demons and turn the Krampus legend "on its head." Demons fighting with the Church would be cool.

Most anything with Michael Portillo is going to be excellent. Ive watched an interview live from England, April 6th, and Ive been listening to his book on Audible. There is little, in regards to riding on trains, while most of his presentation is his interaction with people, are are connected through "community" those on or near the trains.

Michael's ride along the Unification Railroad from Southern Vietnam to Northern Vietnam is excellent. There is on "off road" trip on a high cable gondola above the jungle canopy to a French castle and "Hollywood" like "backlot" for tourists is amazing. His interaction is always great and encouraging.

Orville is the most recent example of TOS and STNG. Discovery is outrageous and focus' on technology and action. Orville has simple themes and focus' on relationships and inclusion. Original fans of Star Trek, I believe, can enjoy Orville while SiFi fans "under the title" of Star Trek can enjoy Discovery.

Ive watched each episode of the first two seasons "numerous" times. The tender gays moments of the first year were awesome. Its taking over much of a stale second season making it painful to watch with its sarcasm and oppressive "mishumor." Discovery is "on the edge" and overwhelming. It lacks true relationships and worships technology at the expense of tenderness of previous series'.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crime of Grindelwald is like waiting two years to attend Disneyland, and when the day comes its a very rainy day. Lines are very long, so you see great potential of fun, but you have to retreat to a snack bar and have an energy drink, Monster, with an over priced hot dog with popcorn, knowing you are at Disneyland and you want to be having great fun, but its just not that much fun as you expected. I attended the second showing on the Thursday film showing in Hollister, California. Only about 50 people showed up. The film is dark, a lot of special effects, baby deaths, and a confusing story line.
