What is even happening?
Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu was good. It's an eight-episode mini-series based on the Celeste Ng novel, starring Kerry Washington, Reese Witherspoon, and Joshua Jackson. The cast is excellent.
I deeply appreciated that they didn't try to round the female leads' edges or glam up the actresses.
Has anyone else watched?

I lack the emotional resiliency to watch drama right now.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I watched the South Korean series Kingdom and it was amazing. It has really good production quality, great acting and effects. I might not have considered a zombie plague series to be so entertaining. And yet...yup!

Has anyone else given in and signed up for Quibi? Dummy was pretty good!

Just finished Season 1 of Kingdom the other night myself, Cashmere. It's been highly entertaining so far. Though I'm ready for Sui-bi to interact more with characters who have a brain instead of her idiot stalker.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh god, this. I did make it all the way through LFE but it was ROUGH. It was so. very. serious. about. everything.

Yeah, there's like a whole section of my queue that's just "stuff to watch when the world isn't on fire". It's...long.
Like -- I just caught a trailer for the forthcoming AppleTV original "Defending Jacob", which is totally outside my ability to watch at all, despite featuring Chris Evans, Michelle Dockery, and the young Jaeden Martell, all actors whose work I enjoy. But nope. Nope nope nope.
Similarly, I was keen to see the new Ryan Murphy project "Hollywood" when I first heard about it in production awhile back; there's a couple of proper trailers out for it now, and the show features Darren Criss (bless his socks, I do adore him), and Jim Parsons as Henry Willson, the influential and very queer talent agent, which is such a great television role for Parsons after finally being free of all the nonsense of TBBT.
But I just do not have it in me to deal with fictional homophobia and racism and classicism, even in such a beautiful package.

Hollywood has some dark moments but overall it's a feel-good series.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That sums it up for me, too, right now. I'm watching a lot of baking and cooking shows. Who will make the best cake?!? is all the intensity I can handle.
