No Good Deed is the type of show I rarely watch.
It’s yet another all-too familiar television series about rich narcissists living in the lush foothills of Los Angeles who apparently don’t work for a living — yet they have no money problems, never clean the house nor do any yard work, and still somehow manage to drink cosmos all day long while desperately trying to manage all that daily stress. Of course, each of their lives is a giant clusterfuck, intersecting with one other in rubbernecking matrix of crippling insecurities, greed, jealousy, adultery, and spite, laced with an overdose of pettiness.
Aww. Poor things.

BLACK DOVES — REVIEW (ON NETFLIX)
There’s a lot to love about Black Doves, the latest popular series now available on Netflix. There’s also considerable chaos and confusion. To enjoy, we must suspend all sense of reality. This sort of thing could never happen in real life. Think of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels crossed with The Gentlemen melded with Kingsmen and frosted with Zero Dark Thirty. Rarely does a spy-caper provide so much style. Death monologues become poetry. Killing is art.
I loved most of it. I hated parts of it.

SOCIAL ENGINEERING VS. OUR UGLY HISTORY
Forgive the attention-grabbing headline and question. But, think about it.
Today’s thought melds the aspirations of modern entertainment vs. real history and the ugly cultural norms of earlier times.
