#TheBrothersSun is a really clever series. It starts out like a (knowing) kung fu Triad gangster show with a "fish out of water" element, but as it progresses it deals with all sorts of interesting stuff about being a first generation #Chinese #American: #immigrant parents with high expectations for their kids but none for themselves; the importance of food; White men with #Asian fetishes; not really knowing your "own" language...

Really, really good.

Currently on the tail end of Seven Psychopaths (2012), directed by Martin McDonagh. It's an all star cast about writers and their relationship to their characters, who are inevitably huge and kind of take over the world of the writers' imaginations until the story is definitely concluded. And it's about psychopaths chewing scenery. Look it up. #film

Not sure what I'm going to watch next. Maybe a Criterion?

Yeah, next is Moonrise (1948), a noir directed by Frank Borzage, and it's a Criterion release, so good for me. #iamwatching

#Watching The Peripheral, LOVE it. Hating the weekly drip-feed of episodes. Book in my pile to read after season 1 ends.

#Reading Mick Herron’s Slow Horses/Slough House series, also loving.
