Topic: What's your favourite TV program of the moment?

The show is kind of a mess, plot wise.  It's not really clear what's going on:  multinational company engineering food in order to introduce some not so healthy ingredient into the general population, at the same time developing some kind of Russian engineered flu vaccine, while there's some old graphic novel by a chemist that everyone is getting killed for.  There's lots of gratuitous violence in this and curtailing some of that while clarifying the rest of the plot could make it better.  I'm kind of racing through this so I can move onto something else, and hopefully better.

The endless splattering brains from execution style gun violence verges on pornographic.  It's like a bad video game with a whisper thin plot.  I'll be glad to be done with this. Maybe it's time to revisit that Unicorn game on here where I'm constantly losing the unicorn to collisions with mountains and the like.

I mean if they're introducing a genetic sequence, that could be the equivalent of conditions where you have to take a pill every day or die.

I had a friend who was very dire about his thyroid med. He said "Any societal instability leaves me in numb terror, because if I don't get my pill every three days if I stretch it, I'll just straight up die."

He was in a similar boat to me, responsible for an aging parent, so every cut in the safety net brought him dread. His dad was a civil engineer but got early onset dementia, so he's pretty much a homebody.

His hobby is exotic plants. Can't say I shared the interest, but the man lit the golly up over rare cuttings and getting them past customs (legally, he didn't sneak, he just learned every single facet of the law)
