May 2022 TV

 Seen on tv: 


- Riverdale, season 5. 


Unfortunately the weakest season so far of a generally very entertaining show —you can see exactly how much the plans for his one had to be altered several times mid-production. 



- The Andy Warhol Diaries


- Halston


Two glitzy series covering capital fashion icons of the twentieth century. The first is a docu-series and the second a dramatization —they sometimes overlap, as they share a producer (Ryan Murphy). Entertaining —the first is a touch too long but together they constitute an important screenshot of oft censored Gay History. 




OTHERS


- Housamo: Memories of Thor


- Housamo: Memories of The Fisher King


Essentially two “chapbooks” released between major chapters (plus a third, Shoggoth), covering previous time loops within the main story. Fairly entertaining. 



MOVIES


- Bombshell


Dramatization of a real life scandal —that is hampered by the participants (the ones in real life, not the actors in this movie) being such extraordinary unpleasant people it’s legitimately hard to care for anyone here, victims and assailants. Nevertheless very well acted and with polished production values.
