I was rewatching Season 1 of Slow Horses recently because Season 6 has brought back characters from previous seasons who apparently are Very Important People. Unfortunately, I had absolutely no idea who some of them were. This, by the way, is the problem with streaming television. When a […]
The genie grants you a wish. What is it? If I were granted one wish today, I wonder what I would ask for. Years ago, it would have been easy. Money. A certain amount, preferably obscene but not tacky. A house. Maybe true love. Although, honestly, I’m still […]
Do you believe in karma? I believe in karma. Always have. No hesitation. No existential debate. I don’t need to see the cosmic spreadsheet to know somebody is keeping receipts. What we put out into the universe comes back. Sometimes gently.Sometimes loudly.Sometimes with the subtlety of a brick […]
