remiss

and embarrassed

Netflix has become a ' go to ' entertainment venue.
Especially, while working out.
At best its variety
At worst, a showcase for average to below average fare.

A Report
' Teenage Titans ' or some such. We have ex - Robin sundered from Batman for psychological trauma. A flame thrower girl who is missioned to eliminate the second coming of an evil wizard type guy. A skin changer and toward the later episodes ' Wonder Girl '
( didn't even know there wa a Wonder Girl, I mean except for Natalie Portman ). A whole whack of episodes paraded across the screen.
And very hard to rate, b/c I was of decimal values out of 4, like 0.9. But then I got to thinking if I rate Titans as a decimal, readers could ask < why did you watch all those episodes > Cuz I needed something ?

the " Umbrella Academy " begins w/ a round up of children born on the same day / year. The mothers conceived these children w/out fathers and some had a gestation time of 12 hours. Weird and paranormal.
The ' father ' purchases these wonderkins and raises them in a para-military, para- boarding school fashion.
The talents include time travel, bringing back the dead to talk to, super strength, mixed martial arts and one more which must be extreme physical displacement of matter < the air explodes out ward from her and everything goes  flying >. I'm not at the end and I'm sure much more will be revealed.

And Finally, a winner. A period piece highlighting the supposed disappearance of Agatha Christie. And that during this time, AC was off solving a murder w/in a murder.
Her marriage is failing b/c the dude is playing away from home. AC is looking for inspiration for her writing which has dead ended in the middle of a script.
Well done w/ excellent production values.
A bit low for M ... and me but it worked itself out.

Weather is benign. I know < what ? >
Cold but clear snow flurries in the afternoon. However, after some tumultuous days, these last 2 have been ' halcyon '.

The weather dudes are predicting warm or warmer flows of air for late March and early April BUT we gotta get there.
