TV

Still sick, but today is the first day with no measurable fever. I've been watching a lot of TV.

"What We do in the Shadows" (TV show) is newly up on Hulu. I adored this and watched it quickly. It is a mockumentary about several vampires living together in a house on Staten Island. The producers are Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. I liked this better than the movie, because there is a female vampire and there are canon bisexual vampires. Very silly, clever, and enjoyable. In one particular episode that I loved, Lazlo turns into his bat form only to get caught by animal control and put into a shelter, where his friends must rescue him.

Content notes: silly violence and blood, references to child harm (kids being turned into vampires), vomit, dead bodies, raunchy humor.

Ragnorak - Netflix (TV show from Norway).

I watched the first episode of this and really dug it, but then at the end, the lesbian character is murdered?!?!11! Probably will not continue with it.

22 July - Netflix.
"BOATS" (based on a true story) of the neo-Nazi terrorist attack in Norway. In English, but with many Norwegian actors, including one of the same main people from Ragnorak. This is engaging and sensitively told. It focuses on one teenage boy who is a survivor of the shootings, and also on the trial of the terrorist.

That sounds charming.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Hooray for less fever and soothing TV.

Glad the fever's gone. They make the world so weird, sometimes.

I too love WWDITS. Haven't watched them all yet.

The other ones sound good. I have Netflix while I'm catsitting this weekend, so I will have to check them out.
