Adam Decker's The Good Wife Blog: August 2023

I have failed on so many levels with both this blog and just this post of it, which was scheduled for the past, long after it was supposed to be up as if it was up then. You have probably been wondering where this blog has been and why I haven’t done any updates of it including a simple one saying that I’m doing a hiatus. I felt that there wasn’t a logical place for me to even put that update and a dumb fluke had me even saying in the post that I didn’t know when the next one would be, even though I had originally planned to rig one back in February.

Anyways, there is a post in my CSI: Cyber blog that explains the hiatus. I’m a bit sad that no one commented in this blog about where this and other blogs were. But the most sad that I am is that in addition to this post being late, it is also incomplete. This means that if next month’s cast update isn’t complete, I’ll have to stop doing them since I obviously don’t care about them to stay updated enough.

http://adamdeckercsicyber.blogspot.com/2023/07/tech-explaining-blogging-hiatus.html

Here’s a paragraph worth putting in multiple blogs. I’m going to share two of these that need sharing and this is the one that needs done first. You see, even though a lot of time has passed for me to potentially see movies and other things like that for these cast updates, I haven’t seen a lot of them just yet. I’m hoping to at some point, but am unsure how or when I’ll have the time. It will hopefully happen at some point in time so bear with me as you might be glad just to have posts back at all, even though projects still haven’t been watched.

Spin-off info: There is now another installment of the franchise involving this show set to air at some point in the future. That show is Elsbeth. She is perhaps the best character to do a spin-off of. While the show has an unknown release date at the moment, I will be doing updates of it starting now and as long as the show continues, even after I create a blog about it.

Julianna Margulies: I don’t see what else she is doing right now at the moment, but hopefully will in future posts. I didn’t find anything relating to her from this update so there’s nothing to include here in this update here in the end right now. She has a recurring role right now on The Morning Show, an Apple TV drama. It might be more of a major role, but I don’t know how much yet.

Josh Charles: He will be in something new called We Own This City. It is nice to see him doing something worth covering in this blog again as we tend to lose a lot of his updates as they just aren’t worth covering anymore. But this one is for now. He will also be in Memory and Mothers’ Instinct. He will be in The Power. And he will be in How to be Successful Without Hurting Men’s Feelings.

We Own This City: This is about Freddie Gray. It is a planned miniseries on HBO. It does not have a trailer just yet. But it is an interesting idea for something that we will hopefully see presented in the best way possible to learn more about it. It is currently out now.

Memory: It’s unknown what this is about right now as they aren’t telling us what this is about right now. There is no trailer at this point. Its year of release is 2023. We will find out more about it over time. I just hope that I don’t forget anything about it.

Mothers’ Instinct: This is another one of those typical perfect seeming life falls apart cliché that we see from time to time. It has no release date yet. It also has no trailer at this point yet either. But I might look forward to it in the event that I can see it in the end, if it even gets made at all.

The Power: I have no idea how a whole TV show is being made out of this, but apparently in this show, teenage girls develop the power to electrocute people at will. This sounds like a dark twist on the magical girls genre. It doesn’t have a release date. I have no idea what network or streaming service this might air on.

How to be Successful Without Hurting Men’s Feelings: There is nothing revealed yet about the plot of this. It has no release date yet. There is also no trailer. I have no idea what this might be about. Maybe we won’t since this is now gone from imdb.

Graham Phillips: We’ll see if we see more of him there in the future or not. Hopefully, he will be doing more than just that in the future. He is set to be in Rumble Through the Dark. This is a project that he is set to co-direct. There are no acting projects of his right now. He is also set to appear in Blackwood and Do Not Go Gentle.

Rumble Through the Dark: This has no release date at the moment or trailer. It does sound like it could be interesting. It is about a fighter who wants to repay his debts to save his foster mother’s home. I guess we’ll see what it is like.

Blackwood: This has no release date or trailer yet. It seems to be about haunted woods that are causing disappearances of some sort or another. It could be interesting or it could be commonplace. I guess that we’ll have to wait and see to find out.

Do Not Go Gentle: Like the previous movie, this has no release date or trailer. It is about a hitman who has potential regret and finds himself at a crossroads. Could he make the right decision? The title would suggest otherwise. I guess we’ll see.

Archie Panjabi: This actress did a lot after leaving the show. She is doing Departure, mentioned more in the next part of this blog as usual. She is set to be in the third season of Snowpiercer. Another thing she will be in is Hijack.

Departure: This has been released. It is a Canadian show about the search for victims of a plane crash. It will air on the Global network that I don’t think that I’ll be able to see any time soon. But I’ll keep track of this as much as I’m able to. This is on the Peacock streaming service for those in America available now. A review now follows.

Departure: Show Description- A plane goes missing and people have to figure out what went on. Behind the Scenes- Archie Panjabi from The Good Wife and Blindspot is a character on this show. I think that she is the lead. My Thoughts- It seemed pretty good, although I’m not sure how there will be enough material for the show to last. I also have no idea how much beyond the first episode is available for free. Long Term Prospects- I don’t think that this will last, although it can. It is worth noting that since this is a Canadian show, the ratings here don’t matter. Where to Find- Available to stream on Peacock

Snowpiercer: This is a TNT TV show. I don’t know when it airs. It is about people on a train in a dystopian future. There is a lot of drama and classism. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to see this series or not. But it will remain in the updates as long as Archie remains a part of this show in the future.

Hijack: Almost nothing is yet publically revealed regarding this TV show. It has an unknown release date. It has no trailer. It doesn’t even have a plot yet. It is just marked right now as in development and that’s it. We will hopefully find out more about this later.

Christine Baranski: She will be in is The Gilded Age. Yet another thing that she will be doing is Praise Petey. There are no other ones that I can see of hers right now since she must not have much going on or wanting to do or take care of at the moment.

The Gilded Age: This is a TV show. It is out now on HBO. You might have remembered me talk about this in my TV show blog where I put it with the cancelled shows since it was never made. Well, just like with Emerald City, this has found new life again and is set to air on HBO. It is airing there now. There is a teaser for this show now:

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYBuU32B8PI

Thoughts on teaser: I wish that we could find out more about this, but I guess that we will have to wait until something else is known. It actually says more in the description of this video link than anything this teaser mentions. I hope that more can be known in the future with an official trailer and not just this one. If you don’t see one in the next post, then you might not see one at all. But this could be in the blog for a while regardless of if I’m able to see it.

Praise Petey: This is a TV series. This is out now. I have no idea where this airs. It does have a plot of a female from New York City who has her life come crashing down until a gift from her father changes things.

Matt Czuchry: He was in The Resident. That show’s over now as I’ll get to pretty soon. He wasn’t doing anything else, last I checked. He might at some point in time. I guess that we’ll see. I might have some more to talk about him in the next post.

The Resident: This is a show that is cancelled now. It was about a resident (or a man who started out as one at least) who dealt with all sorts of medical issues and some of the bad companies that needed to be dealt with as well.

The Resident: Why I’ve seen it- I watched this for my Good Wife blog and to fulfill my promise to watch a midseason replacement on FOX the season that it started. Description- This is a medical drama that features different doctors, some new, and there are various problems at the hospital at times. It seems a rather complicated plot that is hard to sum up easily. It should make more sense as it goes along. Notable People- This has Matt Czuchry who used to star in The Good Wife and Gilmore girls. Pros- It points out the flaws that can happen in a hospital, but does it in a good way. It can seem more humanizing than most medical dramas that I’ve seen in the past. Cons- It seems similar to House. The lead can be strange and arrogant. It is often too focused on sex at times. There are some medical stuff that you don’t know why it is there. Note to Parents- It airs with a content adversary warning in some episodes so that’s all you really need to know about it. Recommendation- I’d say that this is good to stay into if you want to. My Viewing Habits- I watched this from the very beginning, but missed a whole lot of the episodes. Cancellation reasons- This might have been a cancellation that just happened for whatever reason. It wasn’t much of a surprise considering what all had went on before such as the short episode order for what wound up being its final season. Similar shows- 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Lone Star, The Good Doctor, Grey’s Anatomy, Transplant, and Chicago Med. DVD suggestion- I would get it unless you or someone you know is part of the medical community, in which case, you would probably hate it. Reception: mixed. Grade: B.

Makenzie Vega: She has been working since The Good Wife ended. Sadly, she hasn’t been doing that much. I haven’t been able to find something that I could review just yet. I hope that she ends up doing something good soon. Otherwise, I guess this will be one less person to worry about. She will be in something called Growing up Gorman.

Growing up Gorman- The name of this movie is based on a character from the movie. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The person in this wants to win a battle of the bands competition. We’ll see if it avoids being cliché or not.

Alan Cumming: Here’s an actor who’s known for starring in Broadway plays and productions. Perhaps you have seen him on the Tony Awards that you always watch because you can’t afford to see Broadway any other way. It looks like he has a lot of future projects in the works. He is in Bright in a Hollow Sky. There’s also a new project called Run. He’s in Marlowe. He also hosts The Traitors.

Bright in a Hollow Sky: This is a movie about people trying to find what they have lost by going on a road trip to do so. It doesn’t have a release date or trailer just yet. Hopefully it can do better than other projects where nothing seems to come from it.

Run: This has no release date, but it does have a trailer. The plot is about a man who seems to have lost something important and will try to live life in a different way from this point forward. I’m guessing that running in some way will factor into the plot. It might be out, but I can’t find much information about it right now. I don’t think that it is yet.

Trailer Link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8900306/videoplayer/vi3245521689?ref_=tt_ov_vi

Thoughts on trailer: This looks very good and interesting, although I’m not sure that I can make anything out of the plot just yet. I’ll have to see what becomes of it in the future. Whatever it is, I hope to see it and want to watch it, not just out of an obligation to doing this blog in the future.

Marlowe: This is named after the last name of the character in the movie that this is. This is out on DVD. It is about a PI tasked to find a woman’s ex lover and, as usual, there is a much bigger case that winds up going on as a result.

The Traitors: This is available to stream on Peacock. It is a reality show like Mafia that has people trying to identify the traitors living in a castle before being “killed” by them. I’ll forgo posting a trailer and post a review of it as soon as I see it.

Zach Grenier: Well, he’s finally doing things, such as being in a movie called The Vizitant. We’ll see what else he does over the course of time while still working. There’s nothing else worth mentioning now that I can see in this blog.

The Vizitant: This has an unknown release date. Apparently, this movie is about a defeated politician who is given the power to change the world by a mysterious entity. Perhaps the Monitor is giving him the book of destiny. Whatever will happen, I hope to find out more when there is a trailer for this. I hope for a release date soon as well.

Matthew Goode: He has been doing a lot of projects since leaving The Good Wife. I might as well get to mentioning all of them. A thing he appears to be doing is Medieval. He will also be in The Offer. Another thing he will be in is Freud’s Last Session.

Medieval: This is out now. I don’t know if this is based on a true story or not. But it seems like it is about two people and how they seek to win against an army of people. They probably have people helping them with it. I’ll have to see. There is a trailer for this.

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjgi_Gn5Y_k

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like it could be interesting and hopefully I will be able to see it sooner rather than later. I can’t gather much from the plot, but it doesn’t look like I have to as I’m already wanting to see more of this.

The Offer: This is available now on Paramount+. It is about the making of The Godfather. I haven’t seen The Godfather yet. Maybe I will some day. I wonder if one could enjoy this while not having seen The Godfather. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Z9H9mG-SI

Thoughts on trailer: This seems far too vague a trailer for this to look any good at all. This might be good, but the trailer clearly isn’t. I won’t know what else to say about this except that I hope it can do justice to the iconic movie and actually be interesting. This show does not look that interesting based on the trailer. But while I think that the trailer is bad, I’m just not sure if the show would be.

Freud’s Last Session: This is about Freud and C. S. Lewis doing a debate over the existence of God. There is no release date yet or trailer. It could be good, but I’m already having my doubts as only Christian films tend to get Christianity right.

Cush Jumbo: She’s doing Balestra. She will also be appearing in Criminal Record. Is that really a good career choice? Choosing to do and have criminal record in your past? That’s a joke, of course. It might not be that good of one, but it’s the one that I’m sticking with for now.

Balestra: It is hard to understand some of the plot. It has an unknown release date. It has no trailer at the moment. From what I understand, a disgraced athlete tries to do some new thing that allows her to extend her training hours but causes reality to blur.

Criminal Record: This is set for release in 2023. It will be on Apple TV+. It relates to two people fighting over a murder conviction with different factors like race involved in the polarized nation of Britain, if that is still what the country is called.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: I wonder what else he might do over time. He’s currently also in a project called Fall. Another thing he’s doing is The Walking Dead: Dead City. His newest project is Neponset Circle. There isn’t much else that I can find right now.

Fall: This project has very little known about it thus far. I don’t know yet what type of project this is about or even what it is about. It is now on DVD. Maybe I’ll find out more about this over time. Maybe I won’t. There is a trailer of this that I’ll talk about in the next post. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa5MXOMN1lM

Thoughts on trailer: I wish that I could like a movie like this. And maybe I could if I’m able to see this. But it just looks very dumb that they pushed themselves this far and should not have put themselves into this situation in the first place. But this could be a good survival film and I guess we’ll see if one of the women doesn’t survive.

Neponset Circle: This is about a police officer getting out of prison who goes right back to solving cases, this one on a missing girl. It has no release date at the moment and also doesn’t have a trailer yet either. I hope that it does since it might be interesting.

The Walking Dead: Dead City: This is a continuation of The Walking Dead focusing on the character of Negan. I’m going to include some overlap with my blogs on Madam Secretary and The Good Wife as they both have actors in this show. It is currently available.

Robert King: Here is where we switch to writing credits. He and his wife are helping with a TV show called Evil. He’s working on another TV show called Girls with Guns. He’s also doing Would I Lie to You? Another thing that he is doing right now is Your Honor. And he’s doing Happy Face.

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently streaming its third season now. We’ll see how long it might last beyond its current known run.

Evil: Status- Currently streaming its third season. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I had planned to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. With it now on streaming, I doubt that I’ll be able to watch any new episodes of this again. Prediction- I might last if the good streaming numbers keep up. Otherwise, it will be toast pretty soon after that. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on Paramount+. It is unknown when this is coming out. I could not find out more information upon further research as I doubt google would be helpful with this.

Would I Lie to You?: In this show, people are told stories and they have to tell reality and fiction apart. This has been canceled. That might not have been the case when this was supposed to be posted. Enjoy this review of it:

Would I Lie to You?: Why I’ve seen it- I reviewed it for another blog of mine and also watch a new CW show at least once. Noteworthiness- This is an adaptation of a British show of the same name. Description- Two teams of three discuss various stories and they have to figure out whether or not it is a lie or the truth. Notable People- It is produced by Robert and Michelle King who have been showrunners of The Good Wife, The Good Fight, BrainDead, and Evil, among other things. Pros- This seems good enough to keep up with at times. It is an acceptable form of entertainment. It is funny at times. Cons- I know that there are problems such as this not being as funny as it could be. The most notable problem is that the panel can be won before the first commercial break, making the rest of the show rather worthless. Note to Parents- There might be some issues here and there, but this is a pretty acceptable show for kids to watch. Recommendation- Take it or leave it. It might work better if you don’t have any plans at that time on that day of the week. But you aren’t missing much if you don’t see it at all. My Viewing Habits- I may watch it some here and there, but won’t care too much if I don’t see it much, if at all. Cancellation reasons- It aired in a dead timeslot where it is shocking that shows have even lasted on this network. They didn’t care about the show anymore making it almost a surprise that they acknowledged that the show even existed in the first place by saying that it was cancelled instead of leaving us to figure it out for ourselves like I do in my TV blog by putting shows on the cancelled list that really weren’t cancelled because I can tell by then that it could not possibly be coming back. Similar show: To Tell the Truth. DVD suggestion- There won’t be DVDs and, while I liked the show to an extent, I don’t believe that it is worth owning at all. Reception: mixed. Grade: C.

Your Honor: I forget if I mentioned this show before but got confused by it. But this is a show that is currently airing somewhere, even though it is on hiatus right now. It is a courtroom drama that is renewed for season 2.

Happy Face: This is a TV show. I have no idea what network this would air on. It has an unknown airdate right now. In this show, we learn that a child discovers that her father is a serial killer. This could be interesting, but it better avoid being anything like what Prodigal Son wound up being like.

Michelle King: Since she is married to the previous person, it would appear that she would probably have the same projects in the works as her husband. This section may be redundant since any similar projects that these people have would be the same thing and thus have the same information. She is working on Evil and Girls with Guns. She will also be involved with Would I Lie to You? She’s doing Your Honor as well. Yet another thing she’s doing is Happy Face.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on Paramount+. It is unknown when this is coming out. This will likely be about girls with guns. But more of a plot beyond that is unknown.

Erica Tazel: This former Good Fight actress has projects in the works. I look forward to seeing what I can of her work in the future. She is in The Devil You Know. She will also be in Heart of a Lion. And she’s in Freedom Hair.

The Devil You Know: In this movie, a man has to try to make things right for himself after spiraling one way and not going back to his dark ways of the past or something like that. It is on DVD now. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb_ZpN98pg8

Thoughts on trailer: I can’t really ever like trailers like this that are too vague while at the same time also trying to be grandiose. The movie might be good, but I can’t really make much of an original plot out of this and can only hope that the film is better.

Heart of a Lion: The name of this was changed to Big George Foreman. It is on DVD now. It is about George Foreman. That is all that I really know about it at this moment. There’s nothing else really to say and talk about it for now.

Freedom Hair: The plot of this sounds a bit dumb, but I guess I’ll see possibly whether or not it really is if and when I see this. It is about a woman’s struggle with the hair industry it seems. It has no release date or trailer.

Poppy Montgomery: I don’t know if she acts less now than she used to. We’ll see what she does. She does not have any projects in the works as of this post. Maybe this will change by a future post. For now, there is nothing else new for this part.

Jaimie Alexander: She is in The Minute You Wake up Dead. There is nothing else that she has done recently besides that. It, arguably, shouldn’t be in the updates, but I’m keeping it here for now since I haven’t seen or reviewed it yet.

The Minute You Wake up Dead: This is out now on Prime Video. This is about a person who gets involved in scams that lead to murders. There is a trailer for this, but I’m not going to cover that at the moment, if ever.

Enrique Murciano: He is doing The Night Agent. Maybe there will be more in the future. He is also set to be in Miranda’s Victim. That’s about it for now at this point in time. We’ll see what else he will do in the future besides that.

The Night Agent: This is a planned Netflix series. It has an unknown release date. It does have a plot: a person low on the FBI totem pole suddenly is thrust into a conspiracy that leads all the way to the White House. That’s a better way of phrasing it than the grammatically incorrect way it is currently described on imdb, which might be a sentence fragment in the end.

Miranda’s Victim: This is the true story of the crime that lead to Miranda rights from the side of the person he kidnapped and raped before successfully gaslighting the country into making us think that he was the victim. This is out now and since I don’t think that I have any way of seeing this, I will remove this from the updates.

Hugh Bonneville: This actor from Downton Abbey will be the first of any people from that show to be covered in this blog here. Anyways, he has lots of things in the works right now. A thing that he’s doing is Bernie’s Gift. He’ll also be in The Amazing Maurice. Something else he will be in is Banking on Mr. Toad. Another thing he’ll be in is The Gold. He is currently in Mummies. He’ll also be in Better than Fine and Paddington in Peru.

Bernie’s Gift: This has no release date or trailer right now. The plot sounds complicated from what I understand of it online. This relates to a man recruiting two people in order to go on an adventure of sorts relating to food and other things.

The Amazing Maurice: This is out now. This seems to be a take on the pied piper story from a previously unseen cat’s perspective. I hope that they can improve on this fucked up story that kids are told for no good reason. I don’t know how I can see this so I will be removing it from the updates.

Banking on Mr. Toad: This doesn’t have a trailer yet. It is set to be out sometime in 2023. This seems like Finding Neverland, but with a different work of fiction: Wind in the Willows. We will learn how this book came to be while delving into the personal life of the writer of it and his family. This is gone from imdb at the moment.

The Gold: This is out now. In this, we learn about Britain’s investigations into criminal activity. Will this be like a documentary like Dateline or will it be a scripted series based on actual events? That is the one thing that I’d like to know right now regarding this show. Here’s a trailer for this show:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gShXixufXqY

Thoughts on trailer: This looks okay in some places, but disinteresting in others. I do like the fact that this is scripted and not a documentary. I can’t quite tell for sure if there is much of a plot to this other than find the gold before it is gone. Still, it could be good enough in the end.

Mummies: This is out now. It is an animated movie about three mummies looking for an old ring that was stolen. While it could be good or just as easily be bad, I’m not going to watch it since I don’t know how I could see it so I will remove it from the updates.

Better than Fine: This has an unknown release date and even plot. The role that Hugh is playing in this is set to be the universe, whatever that means. I guess that we’ll have to see if this comes out and if I’m able to see it or not.

Paddington in Peru: This is another installment in the strangely popular Paddington movie series that I guess that I will have to see some of at some point. There is no trailer nor release date yet. The plot is about them visiting their aunt until a mystery sends them throughout the country at hand.

Sullivan Stapleton: He is set to do After the Verdict. That’s all that I can see of his for the moment. I do not know what else he might do over time. But I have to wait and see what all else he will do at the moment once and as it happens.

After the Verdict: This is out now. It is about four people and their lives relating to a high profile murder trial. I don’t yet know where this is airing or streaming, but I do plan to watch if I can as it could be interesting. There’s a trailer for this:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlpEJRGbW2E

Thoughts on trailer: There is far too much in this trailer for me to keep track of all that is going down. I don’t know if this is based off of a true story or not. I don’t think that it is. It could be a good thing, but I won’t know much because I probably won’t be able to see this at all. It could be good. It could be too drawn out and boring.

Hank Steinberg: He has no projects known in the works right now. I hope to see more from him in the future. We’ll see if more happens or not. He might appear at some point in time in something, but this has not happened yet.

Jessica Brown Findlay: She’s in a lot of projects. One is called Whatever After. A second is Flatshare. And that’s all for now. We’ll see what, if anything, becomes of all of them. There is not much else that I see of hers now.

Whatever After: This has no release date yet. It also has no plot. It is a miniseries of some sort. What else is there for me to say about it? I’m unsure. Hopefully more about this will be known over time. One can only hope that it will.

Flatshare: This has no plot mentioned yet on imdb. If I had to guess, it would involve there being something like a place where people live and some story there. But would it be a drama, comedy, or something else entirely? It has no release date or trailer yet. This is set to air on Paramount+ at least in the UK. There isn’t much else to mention about it. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot5KPF_Jtbs

Thoughts on trailer: Well, this looks weird and obvious at the same time. Too much of it seems focused on just how odd it is and the same things that it does focus on. I can’t tell if I would like this or not. And must the potential for sex be part of it?

Marianne Jean-Baptiste: She has acted a lot ever since Without a Trace ended. I’ll see through time what else she appears in. She will be in Rumble Through the Dark. She’ll also be in The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies. Another thing that she is in right now is Surface.

Rumble Through the Dark: I can’t make as much sense out of the plot even after reading it on imbd as it seems to relate to someone trying to save the home of his foster mother and perhaps his family too. It has no release date at this moment.

The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies: This has no release date or trailer yet. It is about Trump’s claims regarding the 2020 election that still has yet to be proven. I’m sorry. It’s actually about a man who is trying to destroy two different women who are different from each other. That’s not the best way of phrasing it though.

Surface: This is a TV show about a woman’s suicide attempt and what lead up to that moment. It is out now on Apple TV+. There is a trailer for this that I will talk some about. There’s not much else to talk about besides that.

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH3yylTyB8M

Thoughts on trailer: While this does look like something that I’d want to see, it also looks kind of obvious in some places. At the risk of potentially spoiling this, I think that it is clear that the following things happened: 1- someone kidnapped this woman then tried to kill her making it seem like she is someone else and her whole life right now is a lie, 2- her “husband’ is clearly evil, 3- we have no idea who, if anyone, in her life, she can trust, 4- it will take a very long time to reveal all of this in the show so enjoy everything being very long and drawn out to get to the obvious point which I think I have and know already. But am I right?

Ukweli Roach: I’m honestly not sure what he is currently in. Potential projects of his that might be on TV are The Midwich Cuckoos and Annika. But none of them are getting sections in this blog yet since I’m just not sure if he has a major or long term role in any of these right now anymore.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead: She has two projects in the works right now. The first is Ahsoka. The second is Ursa Major. We’ll see what else this actress from BrainDead does in the future with her now in this blog. A third thing she is set to do is Rich Flu. A fourth thing is A Gentleman in Moscow. A fifth thing is Scott Pilgrim Takes off.

Ahsoka: This is yet another Star Wars TV show. Remember when these were movies? This is streaming on Disney+. It is about a character originally from The Clone Wars who later appeared in The Mandalorian and is now getting her own show.

Ursa Major: I believe that this is a movie. It has no release date or trailer yet. It is about a mother and daughter who have to survive on an alien planet while also hiding from people who are hunting them. It sounds interesting in my mind. This is not on imdb anymore.

Rich Flu: I’m not entirely sure yet if I can make sense of the plot. But if I understand this correctly, after wealth goes around, a strange disease threatens to kill anyone with riches. It has no trailer yet and has an unknown release year of 2023.

A Gentleman in Moscow: This has no release date or trailer yet. It is about a man on house arrest while the Bolshevik Revolution, whatever that is, happens. It could help inform me about something if it is done well and accurately.

Scott Pilgrim Takes off: This has a release date of November 17, 2023. It seems to be an animated adaptation of the movie in question, but hopefully has some differences. At least most of the movie cast is returning.

Laura Carmichael: She is currently in The Secrets She Keeps. I’m not sure what that is about, but I guess that I can’t know just yet. Any other secrets of hers, such as what other projects she is doing right now, are currently under wraps.

The Secrets She Keeps: The plot on imdb makes this seem confusing. It talks about the chance encounter that two pregnant women have outside a supermarket outside of Sydney. I could watch the trailer for this, but don’t see a point right now. It is out now.
