Exceptional visual experience. Regained unique story that never fully tells you the reality until it hits you in the face, which might be at various times depending on the viewer. Acting was spot on all around. Music was very fitting. Quite enjoyable, though not critically acclaimed.

Wonderful variety but something missing
This is an interesting literary debut from Zinzi Clemmons, with many semi-autobiographical elements discussing her heritage.
Thandi, a girl of mixed race, has to endure taking care of her dying mother, all the while battling various social aspects of living as a daughter of a South African and an American parent. Written in different formats, from a text message to hip hop lyrics, Clemmons explores the rich tapestry of her life and layers it with various threads.
While I mostly enjoyed this story, I do feel there is something missing and could have been weaved together a little more clearly.

Basically, a (very quick) overview of various branches of Philosophy, lightly touching on - amongst others - some of the following schools of thought:
What is Philosophy, and why we should care?
Aristotle
Buddhism
Confucius
Descartes (Cogito, Ergo Sum)
Stoicism
Taoism
And I've probably missed a few.
While it does it's job in admirably presenting these schools of thoughts and their various proponents, this was (perhaps necessarily) too shallow a read/listen for me. I'm fully aware, however, that that is because I have a scholastic background in studying the same!
Taking my own prejudices out of the equation: a worth-while attempt to bring the subject matter to the masses.

The object of the game is to build railroads between various cities to eventually connect two distant cities. This is done by drawing train cards and trying to get the appropriate color.
There's a mix of strategy, luck, screw your neighbor, and push your luck.

Mixed bag Horror anthology
An 8 part Horror anthology of various Holidays throughout the year. The Christmas, New Year's Eve and Fathers day segments are OK nothing amazing. Unfortunately the others are a range from the bizarre to the very poor. Would have benefited from fewer and more padded out stories.
