This 12 minute documentary was essentially a long trailer for the upcoming MCU Disney+ shows. It consisted of the announcements and information that came from SDCC and D23 this past year. There wasn't any new info on the Ms. Marvel, Moonknight, and She-Hulk series. The only new footage was some behind the scenes stuff. And hey, I'll look at Tom Hiddleston's profile for an extra 10 seconds.

What struck me as interesting was the amount of time spent on the Hawkeye show, considering the drama with Jeremy Renner. I guess that means they're not planning on firing him? I'm assuming that they'll probably minimize his role in the show, if anything.

I don't binge watch shows in general, unless they're true crime. I find Greg Daniels, the creator, very hit or miss.
This was a hit, and was already renewed for a 2nd season. In the not so distant future, people can live beyond death when their consciousness is uploaded to a cloud. Nathan, played by Robbie Arnell, dies in a strange and suspect car crash, and his slightly crazy fiance, who is basically a horrible, annoying person has him uploaded to the cloud.
Andy Allo, who plays Nathan's 'Guardian Angel', was the stand out for me. The angels are essentially customer service reps.
This series was funny, and a very quick watch. I highly recommend it.

Very short story (1 more)
It's very similar to the previous animated films
A big disappointment
I was really looking forward to this when I saw Netflix had a Resident Evil anime series coming out. It's such a shame though and a missed opportunity. Only 4 episodes long and around 22 minutes each episode. You have no real idea where this fits in timeline wise with the games, anywhere after the 2nd game basically. The storyline feels very similar to one of the extended anime films of Resident Evil, so not that original either. The animation is OK, close up scenes have a lot of detail. Other times it just looks like cut scenes from the games. Really hoped for better.

Lilou has this way of writing slow building romances that blend action and friendships into one really interesting story. This was no exception.

I loved Nero; he kicked arse, was really caring of his team and sounds like a great bed partner ;P

Stella was pretty cool, too. She didn't give in at any point, not when being attacked by demons or tested for her abilities. She was strong willed and one really lucky girl to land Nero.

I liked the concept of the story, it was entirely new to me and I was intrigued how it would play out. I wasn't disappointed and will be looking forward to other books in the series and by the author.

I've had this on my Kindle for years--6 or 7--so I thought it was about time I read it and all of the others from my earliest bought to my newest.

I liked this for the fact that the abuse wasn't sexual like a lot of books are nowadays. It was hard to read at times the physical abuse Emma went through and I liked Evan and how persistent he was with getting to know her.

I didn't give it more stars because they could have avoided a lot of the pain and heartache if they'd only told the truth. About everything. And to anyone who'd listen.

I'm not sure I'll be finishing the series.

Oh my days, I was so excited to read this book and it didn't disappoint! I loved the style of writing and I felt like we got to know all the characters, although a little slow in places I loved how it played out. I didn't guess the ending at all so that was a shock, although I feel it could have been a few chapters longer with possibly more explanation and a little bit more of a wrap up of everything, for this reason I think it should be a series! Not because I am sad it ended or anything *Sniff* *sniff* It is just a wonderful book full of mystery and suspense!
