I don't think I've watched a single episode of this.  Just going by the 
name, it's probably the type of show I would like.

I watched:

The Continental: From the World of John Wick (Peacock) - "Theatre of 
Pain" - The third and final episode which shows how Winston became 
manager of the hotel.  I really don't have much to say about it.


Sinners (theatrical) New horror movie written and directed by Ryan 
Coogler.  The movie stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twin 
brothers who return to their home town in Mississippi in 1932.  They 
have plans to open a juke joint.  They spend the first half of the movie 
getting things in place for an opening night party.  But those plans are 
tossed aside when some vampires show up wanting to be invited in.  To 
make it out alive they just need to survive From Dusk Til Dawn.  The 
movie also stars Hailee Steinfeld as a young woman with True Grit who 
gets caught between the brothers and the vampires.  It's a pretty good 
movie.  I liked that it used a lot of the vampire myths like needing an 
invite and not liking garlic.  I saw the movie at my local IMAX theater 
and it looked great. I'm tempted to make a trip to San Francisco so I 
can watch it again in 70mm IMAX for the ultimate viewing experience.
