As the resident lighthouse expert, I will say that I believe it's an urban myth. It is still funny, though.
Also as the expert, lighthouses today are less about marking hazards than they are about showing you where you are. If you have the right charts, you can see a lighthouse and identify your position based on the color of the light and pattern of its blinks.
I looked on that list for Umbrella Academy, which is supposed to have a season drop next month, but I don't see it listed there.
Also, kind of bummed that The Expanse will end without going as far as the books. Now I'll have to tell the guys how it goes forward, instead of just boring them with pointing out the differences.
Has anyone watched Slow Horses on Apple? It's a British spy thriller based on the 2010 Mick Herron novel (which I haven't read). Gary Oldman, Jack Lowden, and Kristin Scott Thomas star. It's a 6-episode season, the whole thing has already dropped.
We've inhaled it the last couple of nights. I might have to watch it a second time, because when I binge, I don't retain.
We've also been watching the FX-on-Hulu true crime drama mini-series, Under the Banner of Heaven, based on the Jon Krakauer book of the same name. It's release week-by-week. Andrew Garfield stars. I've got the book sitting next to me, tempting me to inhale it before the rest of the episodes drop.
I just found out that another season of Bosch is available on Amazon. The title is Bosch: Legacy and I think there are six episodes.
Oh, this review of OFMD in Australia's The Saturday Paper is rather exquisite. The show just keeps gnawing at me and hitting me in a lot of the same spots as The Good Place and Ted Lasso, also comedies that reflect on identity, meaning, all the big difficult questions seen through small specific personal lenses; this review delves into all of that.
The trailer for Diego Luna's Andor show dropped today, and it looks... good? My expectations have been very low since BoBF. But this looks like a Star War about ordinary non-destiny-having people fighting a fascist regime:
That does look good.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is even more fanservicey than I expected it to be, and yet it is way better than it has any right to be.

My feeling about Star Wars fandom is that they don't deserve any servicing and they get toxic when they don't get what they want.
