TV and a book

Dealing with the pro-hydroxychloroquine crowd on Facebook. Some of y'all are probably aware of today's brouhaha; if not, count yourself lucky. But it included an MD who stated that we don't need masks! Because there's a cure! Which is the same drug that has failed multiple tests of its effectiveness. Aaaaaanyway.

Recent visual media:

• Currently watching Never Have I Ever on Netflix, with mixed feelings about it. It’s a teen multigenerational comedy. Episodes 1-3 are a mess--I only made it through by doing some hand sewing while watching. It got better in episode four, so it’s still on my watch list, but with a big question mark behind it.
• I didn’t finish episode one of Cursed, a pre-Arthurian legend drama. The lead character, Nimue, wasn’t that compelling (yet), and I lost interest. Anyone else try it? Does it get better? Not gonna watch it for emo goth bad boy, FYI. Another skinny sad greasy-haired evil dude? Meh.
• Having gotten to season five, I think I’m done with the Community rewatch. I watched fewer than half of the episodes of seasons 1-4, and now there’s no Troy, so... 
• Wow, this is rather negative so far. So: Burn Notice remains a delight, although I’m still in season two, thanks to all of these detours.
• I’m about to take one more detour: just signed up for Disney+. My plan is to keep it for one month and watch Hamilton and The Mandalorian. I’ll try some of the other Star Wars animated shows, but I didn’t like them before, so no promises about finishing. Any thoughts on what else I should watch?

Books! Courting Darkness is technically book one of a duology, but really book four of a five(?) book series by Robin LaFevers. It's another of the nun assassin books! Alternate history with magic and the old gods of Brittany! And Anne of Brittany marrying the king of France, and our poor assassin nuns who worship the god of death have lost their god, and and and... I have to say: this book is where things REALLY got exciting. I liked books 1-3! But this one is definitely where all of the pieces come together in a compelling way. Now I'm anxiously awaiting book five, which comes out in a week! Yay!
