This is very specific, but I just finished watching Slow horses after having read Karoo. While I was watching it I kept telling myself that Gary Oldman would be amazing as Karoo. Now I want a series of Karoo starring Gary Oldman.

One of my faves. Teleports you to the perfect small, slow town aesthetic.

I previously watched this drama miniseries back when it aired in 2016, but I recently rewatched just last week with my girlfriend. Maybe it’s the fact that my mom was a lawyer, but I seem to gravitate to any show that has courtroom scenes (i.e. I’m also watching Your Honor on Showtime). Riz Ahmed plays Nasir Khan, a Pakistani-American college student who spends the night with a mysterious woman and the next morning finds her brutally stabbed 22 times in her bed. The show cuts time between the trial and Khan’s time in prison and how easy it is to make decisions as an inmate that can damage your future. Give it a watch - John Turturro does an amazing job as Khan’s unqualified, yet surprising attorney.

I just finished listening to Ethel cain's new album, and to be honest it was a bit of a let down in my opinion. I thought that the lack of vocals on a lot of songs was disappointing. The "ominous and heavy" atmosphere that she intended to weave throughout this album wasn't coming across as is to me. I found it a bit plain. And the fact that a lot of the tracks are over 10 minutes makes it a bit off putting. I don't think that I'll reach out for this album frequently. Nevertheless, I liked listening to it as it felt like an "experience", but I'm not sure that I'll listen to it like her other songs in her body of work (growing pains <3).
I'd love to know what other people think of her new album!
