I've got to get rolling on Andor again. Got bogged down early, which sometimes happens.
I'm a fan of William Gibson and had read the book The Peripheral is based on. I think it is a strong adaptation, but it's not something I would recommend to many because it is complex and hard-to-follow involving aspects of time-travel and the nature of reality itself in a world that becomes more digital and less "real" every day. The quality of the CGI in this one is very high and the human performances are strong, but folks shouldn't watch if they aren't prepared to pay close attention while still remaining a bit hazy on what is going on. We all want to solve the equation, but Gibson tells us that it's all a giant video game anyway, so just jump over the edge and do the best you can. Whatever, human, you're time is running out.
My latest binge was Stephen King's series "The Outsider" on HBO max. Unusual longish series that allows the story, what I'd describe as a police procedural with a supernatural twist, to take
it's time and set it's hooks deep. Excellent cast and quite realistically done. It just feels right. Quite a surprise to me as I had enjoyed the book and never heard that this made into a series. For those that formed their opinions of King's stuff way back in the day, and I include myself as one, some of his more recent stuff is very well done and represents sort of a career renaissance. I couldn't
stand the guy for years, but he's got me back.
