I'm not sure if it'll be your speed or not, but I just finished watching a Korean show called The Cursed last night. It ended up presenting some pretty interesting ideas about social media, although you never would have guessed that going into the show.

Not a big TV show person, but the trailer looks interesting. I'll let you know if I end up watching it + thoughts

To be honest, I'm not either...but Korean TV/cinema has intrigued me as of late.

100% I really enjoy international cinema... when I do watch TV. Parasite is my favourite Korean/ film, have you seen it?

Oh yeah! Bong Joon-ho is great. He's made a bunch of great movies over the years... Memories of Murder, Barking Dogs Don't Bite, the Host, Okja, Mother... Actually, his partner-in-crime, re: music, Jung Jae-il, is a wonderful composer whose best stuff is outside of the films, I think.

Beautiful line: “You won’t die from sadness, that's lesson one, but if you’re going through hell, it helps to not be reminded of other people’s paradise on Facebook.”
