I recently learned of #KarineVanasse while watching the #tv series #PanAm on the #RokuChannel, in which she was the most mature and interesting character, and her work on #Cardinal (#Hulu) is also very good.
On PanAm, her character had by far the best episode (#BerlinWall) thanks to directing, editing, and her acting.
The end scene, reminiscent in a twisted, opposite way to Yvonne's #LaMarseillaise moment in #Casablanca, is truly emotional and resonant.
#LieWithMe, a 2021 4 episode #Australian #tv series, is pretty good with some nice twists.
A bright and sunny #nanny #noir is the best way to describe it, I think.
There's a cheap and unnecessary red herring, but overall it's good entertainment with a satisfying ending; especially the music.

#MissMeadows, 2014, #DirectedBy (and written) #KarenLeighHopkins and starring #KatieHolmes, is the absolute darkest bit of #twee I've ever seen.
The cloying sweetness is cut with layers of rancid truths mostly implied, never stated, but without doubt as to what they are.
Weird and sad, it's a much better #vigilante #movie than the typical #macho bullshit, like #DirtyHarry, because it's original and human, though just as unbelievable.
#SwimmingWithSharks is really good entertainment. It's not perfect or great, but #KiernanShipka is excellent and, overall, I really enjoyed the series.
A #RokuChannel original, it's a good start and hopefully a sign of what they'll be offering.
I love that it's the women that are the focus, and they're all allowed to be as terrible as the men, and the men in this are the fucking worst, as we are.
And now I've found another half dozen #documentaries about #DavidBowie on the #RokuChannel, all added to my save list.
Stacked cast but just a bit off from being all it could be. I love Charlotte, the kind of kid I'd want as my child.
#CarlaGugino, #ConnieBritton, #AdriannePalicki are all major crushes of mine.
The end credit scene is funny, but Adrianne's last two lines are the best.
#WomenInTrouble, 2009, #DirectedBy #SebastianGuitierrez on the #RokuChannel. A story of women whose lives intersect seriously and humorously over ~24 hours.

The #UnitedStates may have the most "dynamic" and varied #weather and #natural phenomena of any nation, and almost no homes are built—or are required to be—to standards that can mitigate, much less withstand, the damaging effects of the most common of such events for their location.
#TheLastHouseStanding is available for free on the #RokuChannel and #YouTube.
Every home dweller should consider the issues and ideas presented here, owner or not.

Anyway, I need new shows to watch that are available on the #RokuChannel or #YouTube because I'm on the last season of #TheMentalist and #SwimmingWithSharks won't last past this week, though the #actor's strike likely will.
I did start #ProjectBlueBook, but there aren't many episodes of that.
The best show I've found so far on the #RokuChannel is one they acquired when they bought #Qubi, #SwimmingWithSharks.
Unfortunately only 6, short episodes (under 30 minutes), it stars #KiernanShipka (#MadMen, #Sabrina) with #DianeKruger, it's a beautiful-looking, well-acted and written #drama based loosely on the 90's #film.
Only two episodes in and I'm already dreading it being over it's so good, so far. I'm limiting myself to one episode a night
#TheMentalist is refreshing with its deeply flawed and disturbed #white #male lead who doesn't suffer from #ToxicMasculinity as a primary trait, but a deep #psychological—and understandable, if not relatable—#pathology.
There's an often callous disregard and total #narcissim to the character, but almost no typical #macho behavior outside of his #obsession, which is somewhat acknowledged as unhealthy and dangerous, even if also somewhat understandable.
#RokuChannel #WGA #SAGAFTRA #AMPTP #strikes
During my solidaristic eschewing of all #AMPTP #streaming services during the now resolved #WGA and still ongoing #SAGAFTRA #strikes, I've been relying on really bad #tv via the #RokuChannel #app.
The level of #tToxicMasculinity and low-key to blatant micro- and macro-aggressions towards various #minority groups, capped off by a guest star run by #StephenFry, finally took #Bones off my schedule.
The Roku Channel is now available on Google TV and Android TV devices, offering "more than 80,000 free movies and programs" to stream for free (with ads) without the need for a Roku device. https://www.roku.com/blog/roku-channel-now-available-on-google-tv
