Watched: The Diplomat S3 (⭐️⭐️) 📺

I had such high expectations for season 3 of The Diplomat given how season 2 ended (on a cliffhanger). But, have to say, all the usual snark and drama has been overshadowed by way too much sex. This season has turned into a very bad British sex-farce worthy of a Benny Hill episode. I mean, I understand that having sexual tension between certain characters is a must these days, and can really change up a show.

But, dear me, when it devolves into us seeing naked butts thrusting skyward for five minutes solid, you can get distracted quickly from the message that the world is, once again, on the point of annihilating itself. Several sex scenes in one episode become tedious quickly.

So much so that, by the end of the last episode I was, quite frankly, bored and couldn’t care less.

Watched: Murderbot (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) 📺

It took me a long while to get into this one. I have to say that, after the first episode I was ready to abaondon it and, well, actually, I did in that my Apple subscription ran out and I waited till just last week to renew it.

Maybe the break was just what I needed because we’ve just binge watched the rest of the season. And — I loved it.
