I mean Virginie Efira is gorgeous and Pierre Niney has crazy hair and big soulful eyes and that's reason enough really... Wasn't a fan of where the story went towards the end, I hate those tropes and it stopped being fun for me.

Also, never ceases to amaze me how lovers with carnal knowledge of each other still employ "vous". It's very disconcerting.

So I finally watched this cause I have a close friend who's a huge Penn Badgley fan AND it's leaving Netflix so I kinda had to lol... It's very run of the mill psycho thriller fare, I hate it when they reveal everything from the very beginning and you're basically waiting for bad things to happen and come to a head. So not really clever in that regard. Probably the only good thing here is the cast, we get some big names. Dylan Walsh looks very much the part, he has such a friendly face it's creepy. Plus he's channeling Dexter, in fact I find his physiognomy very similar to Michael C. Hall's. Only Dexter was the kind of psychopath you could get behind.

Anyway, Sela Ward is your everymom but I hate it how her gut feeling is completely dead, her spidey senses are not telling her anything. It serves the movie but... Didn't clock that was Amber Heard. Kind of hated the high body count. And the ending. But I guess it was acted pretty convincingly and all the tropes were executed as per procedure.

And also, the age when they would use rock bands on the soundtrack. I miss that really.

By the way couldn't get into You at all, dropped it after a couple of episodes. Guess I'm particular about my psychopaths lol...

Somebody wrote nice things about it and I discovered it's got Akaso Eiji so couldn't hurt, right?

No, of course not, only it's boring stuff for me really. Plowed through two episodes and a bit, time to stop now.

First episode was manga AF, second less so, but yeah, the dynamic is really not my kind of thing and the relationship between the leads is contentious and I cannot have patience for Oba and Ishiko, should something actually happen there and the cases are uninteresting and convoluted or maybe the Japanese legal system is strange to me. Or maybe this is just manga and not that rooted in reality, or a combination of all of these, anyway, not bothering with it.

PS suing somebody for charging their phone at your cafe is wild to me and the fact that there are precedents in Japan for that even wilder.
