Just be prepared for the the total plot change towards the end, compared to the book. Doesn't make the series worse, just surprised me. I'm sad that they've cancelled the sequel: I really enjoyed the first series. Some of the best casting and dialog and tightest direction on TV. Riveting ride.

I recently had my first one of those in a few years, but I did get robots with laser beams for a neuroendocrine tumor removal in 2020. Intelligent design would have been nice, because the bodies we've got suck Jupiter-class plants through micropipettes.

They were playing Stairway to Heaven when I had some work done. The Doc told me it was to lighten the mood.

Something like that. Was thinking of Rod Stewart with The first cut is the deepest and the Maiden with Run to the Hills 🤭

ugh. I get my skin checked yearly but as yet havent had the guy pause and go "hmmmm, might need you back in for that one". I see it as a right of passage once it does happen. Not looking forward to it. That and the finger up the date . . . .

I'm so fucking used to it now. When civilisation falls I will totally survive the collapse of the cities and the Hobbesian war of all against all that follows. But two or three years later, I'll die in the wilderness from spotty skin.
