I'm so excited for the Small Axe series!! Kind of glad they're stretching it over the next few weeks - I like having something to look forward to rather than it all dropping at once. And I know it's technically "TV" and not films, but whatever.

I've been on a real Hitchcock tear as of late. We watched Rope and Psycho last week, both of which I enjoyed, and then watched Vertigo a couple days ago. I'd seen parts of Vertigo in film classes that analyzed the color symbolism, but had never sat down and watched it all the way through before. I thought it was pretty good; not one of my faves of his, though I appreciated it more after I read some analysis afterward.

We started watching The West Wing the other day. My husband had watched it with his parents while it was airing and has fond memories, and I'd never seen a single episode, so that's been interesting. They made a joke about what the secret service would do in a coup attempt, and I had to pause to laugh for like a minute straight because what was clearly supposed to be a joke in 1999 would be a legitimate concern rn.

I just finished watching The West Wing for the first time. It's very bingeable.

yeah, we've only watched a few eps so far but I definitely got that vibe! Is there a point where it's not worth watching anymore, or is it decent through the end?

Well Sorkin leaves at some point (spoiler?!) and I understand not everyone loves those post-Sorkin years but I did enjoy it through the end.
