Recent TV and movies: Karma, White Lotus S3, Mickey 17

Karma — the surprise of the bunch, I’m easily nerd-sniped by dark violent Korean drama; tonally similar to Beef, but with more blood and fewer redeeming characters; 6 episodes was the perfect length, packed with action and mini cliffhangers which Korean shows are great at; I thought Lee Hee Jun’s character really stood out (what a perfect face for that role, you’ll want to watch to understand)

White Lotus S3 — the Thailand setting and its charm and quirks gave the show a nice tension thru the season, background-as-character kinda thing; was nice to see Blackpink Lisa though her role was inconsequential; Walton Goggins was my favorite until the kinda nonsensical almost deus-ex ending; at times the writing hit deep

Mickey 17 — Bong Joon Ho’s signature quirk and absurdity and super-creativity; but the story imo lacked coherency and the stakes felt forced and I didn’t care about any cast members other than Pattinson
