    Apparently the character is supposed to be a MAGA wearing trumpanzee, so wouldn't have bothered learning Spanish.

    As it is, the pandemic brought production to a premature end so they have released the six they've filmed. Which means it basically finishes in the middle. Not a cliffhanger or anything, it just finishes mid-season; so without giving anything away, none of the story arcs are resolved. Very weird indeed.

    I doubt it will get renewed unless the numbers are good.

    Many thanks Harry - that's 'em. The Guardian article mentions these - but didn't want to read it as there was spoilers there. The Pirate Bay has only sub downloads - so far. Cheers all.

    watched the first two episodes of "the serpent".

    it's ok, i guess....primarily for the old bangkok scenes.

    but as has been mentioned, the nonlinear narrative is annoying and i can't imagine i'll make it through six more.

    No, and nor did he bother checking that the age of consent in Texas, where it is set, is ....... 17.

    In fact I was more considering the ones that rate everything on it's "christianness", and give reviews such as the one below (for "Bad Teacher") rather than actually considering any context. Sounds like they get quite excited writing this shit.

    SEXUAL CONTENT

    Elizabeth goes to a plastic surgeon, and one of the surgeon’s former patients displays his “work” to her by cupping her exposed breasts in her hands and moving them around. Then Elizabeth checks out realistic Photoshopped mockups of how she’d look after the operation, which picture her head grafted onto various virtual nude torsos. She circles (clothed) celebrity breasts in magazines, apparently to use as illustrations of what she’d like to look like in the future.
    Her upcoming operation is the talk of the school, often referenced in the crassest of terms.
    In her quest to find the perfect rich husband, Elizabeth realizes that her most formidable weapon is her body—and she bludgeons the audience with most of it throughout the movie. She dresses in Daisy Duke shorts and a scanty, midriff-baring shirt while “supervising” a 7th-grade car wash fundraiser, spraying water over herself (in slow motion) and writhing on cars to attract customers. A fellow female teacher and many, many others ogle Elizabeth. A gawking police officer crashes into a minivan, and a student develops an erection that’s visible through his pants. Even apart from the car wash, she’s almost always dressed provocatively.
    Elizabeth has “sex” with another teacher in a hotel room during a school field trip. Sex is in quotes because both remain fully clothed. But that doesn’t help much when it comes to explicit content: He thrusts against her from the rear and a wet spot on his jeans signals his climax. Elizabeth also seduces a standardized test official: Plying him with drink, she encourages the man to take her to his office so they can have sex on his desk. He passes out before anything happens (because Elizabeth drugged his wine), but she later blackmails the fellow with pictures of him naked that she snapped of him in the aftermath. (His midsection isn’t pictured onscreen.)
    Elizabeth encourages her fiancé to get an erection so she can perform oral sex on him, not realizing the man’s mother is in earshot. The two break up shortly thereafter, and she spreads rumors about him, accusing him of homosexuality, bestiality and incest. She also tells a teacher she’d like to land an NBA player as a husband, but she’s frustrated because they always use condoms and then take the condoms with them (so she can’t impregnate herself and entrap them).
    A principal confiscates porn magazines from a student. A teacher dirty dances with a cowboy at a bar. Elizabeth gives a student her bra, and then spreads the rumor that she’d caught him in sexual relations with an 8th-grade girl. The boy, for his part, proudly whips out the bra and tells his friends that the 8th-grader was wearing it. A teacher makes an obscene, sexual gesture.

    Sticking up for a guy that tries to have sex with his students is an odd hill to die on but you be you.

    Well it certainly seems that you and Dillinger don't know much about the series mentioned.

    At least Dillinger can say that his post didn't immediately follow a description of what happens.

    Seems to be well written and acted, with believable characters.

    Problem is, I'm reasonably confident I can predict every single thing that happens in the rest of this series.

    I guess the 'edgy' nature of the material will be enough to keep some watching, but not me.

    I just couldn't get interested in it, so it was dispatched to the great trash heap.

    Horizon Line (2020).

    More aerial shenanigens, this time from a couple on a small plane whose pilot dies leaving them lost.

    Like "Shadow in the Cloud", it uses a bit of artistic license on occasion, but on the whole it's proof that you can still make a reasonably decent thriller on a low budget.

    Gotta be one of Keith David's shortest roles though.

    6.5/10

    THE DISSIDENT | Official Site

    The film follows
    assassination of Jamal Khashoggi and Saudi Arabia's effort to control international dissent. Central to the documentary is the story of the Saudi activist and video blogger Omar Abdulaziz.

    It also shows how the Saudi Govt hacked Jeff Bezos and many others.


    Very well done Documentary.

    another one that isn't going to be for everyone, but IMO a great piece of filmmaking.
