Do you recommend "Synchronic"?

I noticed it was on Netflix but haven't given it a go, yet.

No, I'm not sure I would recommend it, but could be a matter of taste. Maybe give it 20 minutes or so to see if you like it? It's a nice art-house/indie vehicle for Anthony Mackie, but just middling overall. But not unwatchable, either. It's set in New Orleans present and past, in case that helps.

As for me, two more episodes to go in "Alice in Borderland" -- which I might miscategorize as a science-fiction survival-horror story with some shocking moments.

After the first episode I wasn't sure I wanted to continue. But after watching "Theatre: A Love Story" on Amazon Prime (a character study about a somewhat lost young playwright which also features Kento Yamazaki), I decided to give "Arisu" another try.

A nice change of pace after "Arisu in Borderland" has been "Midnight Diner" -- a show about a little late-night snack bar (Shinjuku district?) and the stories of its clientele.

Das Boot, series 2. The TV series, not the film. Enjoying it, as I did series 1. It's set half at sea and half on land, making it very different from the film.

I like Anthony Mackie, he was good in season 2 of Altered Carbon.

Finished Shadow and Bone, so I'm now on to Timeless, 3 eps in.

If anyone else likes "Midnight Diner" (as I do), "Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories" is really just seasons 4 and 5 from a different production company, but with the same actors.

It's a show for adults with real-life themes, some happy outcomes, and some melancholy and regrets, and also some nice humor. For me it has been a comforting and life-improving tonic.

There are also two MD movies available on viki dot com.
