Russia wants the Pink Floyd co-founder to appear on Wednesday (8 February) at the meeting to discuss Ukrainian weapon delivery, Reuters reports.

As of this writing, season three of the Netflix series has a MetaCritic score of 72 based on nine reviews, of which six are classified as positive and the other three as mixed. None of the reviews are deemed outright negative. Compare that to season one, which scored 61 based on 22 reviews, and season two, which scored 67 based on 12 reviews.
