Loved it!!Finished Season One of The Boys. Feels a lot like the Republican Party between 2012 and 2020.
Season Two should continue being interesting.

Saw an episode or two. I used to read a lot about Scientology long ago, but the Nation of Islam one I did not think was possibleJust finished another episode of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.
And just like at the end of every other episode of every season so far, I was left with my jaw wide open. Holy shit.
I watched up to Season 4 before reading the novels (starting at Book 5) and enjoyed the show a lot.I'm late to the Expanse bandwagon (to my chagrin.) I've read the first book, and I've watched the show up to Episode 6 of Season Two, the part of the show that aligns perfectly with the end of Book One.
So then. Do I continue watching the show, confident that the changes won't spoil my enjoyment of the next books? Or do I put the show on hold until after I read the next book?
I'm only up to a bit in book 7 and am worrying they are going to blow through Books 6 to 9 (nine unpublished at the moment).

Escape to the Chateau, Season 1, 8/10; This UK produced documentary series has started on HGTV. It follows the exploits of a mature couple who have purchased a huge property in France, a "chateau". The 40+ room property has not been lived in for about 40 years and is in a state of disrepair but Dick and Angel are determined to make a go of it and turn into a home and business. Angel is so positive thinking her can do attitude is infectious. She is a bit eccentric but charming, witty has such enthusiasm for the property. Her husband Dick has the powers of a superhero as he tackles almost every challenge himself with a team of helpers drafted in from the UK. It's very entertaining.
The Crown, 7/10; A Netflix series that dramatizes the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II starting off with her childhood. It's mostly entertaining but does have lulls where it can be quite boring. I am starting to get in to the Princess Diana years and the weird stuff that went on there. Plus the Thatcher years are quite interesting as she copes with her missing son and the building Falklands crisis. This has been the best section of the series so far.
