Ok this is a Slightly more coherant version of this post. In which I go (as I remember, drunkenly) insane about an almost forgotten TV show. BBC's Atlantis (2013). But now with pictures!

once again if you know it I'm in love with you and kissing you on the lips.

Spoiler warning if you care abt that, but its only 2 series, watch it this afternoon and come back :D

Ok this show is a blatent Merlin profit chaser and apparently had alot of crossover of crew but I have no source for this. There are alot of comparison that can be drawn.

First for all my Trekkie pals, Alexander Siddig who is Julian Bashir in DS9 plays King Minos. He is beareded, a wife guy, kinda a dilf. pop off.

The second, even for famous face is a very young Anya Taylor Joy. Yeah, ANYA TAYLOR JOY is bald in this? she plays Cassandra the cursed prophet. She is phenomenal, but you have to stick through to season two.

they are the two who stick out to me but take the time to look at the IMDB and you will see some one you know.

In the modern day, Jason (yeah, as in of the Arognaut), the protaganist of the show, pilots a one-man submarine to investigate a deep sea disturbance that resulted in the disappearance of his father when he was a child. When he discovers the location, the submarine begins to fail and he wakes up on the shores of the kingdom of Atlantis He is given shelter by a couple of locals: Pythagoras Herculse

Along the way, they pick up allies including Medusa, a palace maid; Ariadne, daughter of the King and heir to the throne; and a mysterious Oracle. - abridged form wikipedia

All of that in the first paragraph happens in THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF THE FIRST EPISODE. This summary leaves out in that 10 mins he runs naked across a beach, steals some clothes from fishermen, fights a two headed dragon, and is chased by Palace Gards.

This show is a wild, nonstop, rollacoaster.

If I havent revolted any classistis all ready, or convinced you to watch it let me hit you with the kicker. CANNON GAY RELATIONSHIP. and it is the friends to lovers, betrayal to lovers arc all you tumblrinas love so much. Between Pythagoras and Icarus.

Pythagoras and Icarus.

This isn't even the scene where they get together, Pythagoras - left, Icarus - right

The payoff is not till the last episode but the build up is lengthy, obvious and worth it. and as I said in my first post, more than you Merlin bitches got.

So. Go and watch this trainwreck, rollacoaster of a show and scream at the blattent shitting on greek myths that is oh so infuriating and a whole lot of fun.

watch and enjoy, i beg you.

My Thoughts on DVD sets

I think I've mentioned wanting to do this last year, but I'm finally going to do it: espousing my thoughts on various DVD box sets that I own.

Star Trek the Original Series & Star Trek Deep Space 9: Both sets have silvery lettering on grey discs, which makes it frustrating to read. While the DS9 discs do list the episodes on each one, the TOS DVD sets do come with either a pamphlet-ish thing or the back of the 'cover sleeve' lists which episodes are on which disc. Furthermore, the DS9 discs are layered in a way that made it extra complicated to keep track of where I was and which disc to get next when I watching. Lastly, the disc menus are busy enough that it can be tricky to tell where I am on a screen (although admittedly the 'secret featurettes' are nifty).

Avatar the Last Airbender: I like the box art and each disc has a different image but no specific episodes are listed.

Avatar the Legend of Korra: Same as the Star Trek ones, the discs are silver lettering on grey discs- again, it can tricky to read.

Sailor Moon (90s 1-4 & Crystal 1-3): I admittedly haven't opened all the DVD sets, but the ones I have done so contain shiny discs that list episode numbers opposed to 'volume X of season Y' style labeling. Note: the 90s anime is on Blu-Rays rather than DVDs, unlike everything else listed here.

BBC Merlin: There is a different image on each disc, the layout has more manageable overlapping (again, I love Star Trek DS9's content, but I wish the DVD box set had been better designed). Episode numbers as well as season are on each disc, with enough color contrast be easily read. Only issue is that towards the end, there's a notable hiccup. The fifth season's 3rd disc says it contains episodes 9-12 but only has three episodes on it. Thankfully, despite saying "Episode 13 and Bonus Materials", the fourth disc contains both parts of the series finale. It was certainly nerve wrecking for me until I realized what had happened back when I was watching.

Here is my proof of that error. One disc contains three episodes and the other contains two, despite what the discs say. Huh, I suppose this post is extra fitting as today is the 12th anniversary of part two airing. I think this error is probably symbolic in some fashion, but maybe I'm overthinking it. If anyone else has the BBC Merlin box set, does yours also have this issue or did I get a weird misprint?

Stargate SG-1: Different hues for on each disc per season. 'Season X Volume Y' style framing is used. However, the interior of the DVD covers do list the contents of each disc, including special features.

Stargate Atlantis: Atlantis itself is on each disc; only the first season bothers to give each disc a different hue from others. 'Season X Disc Y' formatting is used, and same as its parent show, the interior of the DVD cover lists the discs' contents.

Stargate Universe: All the discs per season are the same color, but they do list the episodes on them in a contrasting color.

Once Upon a Time: Okay, I have still only opened up season 1's box set, but I'm going to guess that 2 & 7 have similar setups. The discs show different variations of the episode title screen (the dark blue woods with a shadowy item or person significant to the episode). The episode numbers are listed on the discs as well as the DVD cover interior listing the episode titles. However, you do need to access the disc to find out what 'bonus feature' is on them as it's not specified.

Star Wars The Clone Wars (1-5): A different character is on each disc, which are numbered within each season. The DVD cover interiors do list each disc's contents, though, down to brief episode synopses.

Power Rangers (1-17): On the one hand, yes the discs are the same hue per DVD and 'Disc X' format is used. However, each season's menu screen is modified to match the team's headquarters, down to the font changing. That shows an attention to detail that I appreciate. The DVD cover interiors do list the episodes on each disc. I might do a separate post showcasing the various menus, because it really was thoughtful of the DVD menu designers.

Pokémon: I have multiple seasons, but they're all basically the same setup. A different Pokémon is on each disc that has a number and there's no easy way to tell which episodes are on the disc ahead of time.

The Flash (1-2): They use a 'Disc X' format, but the DVD box sets do contain a highly informative pamphlet on the discs' contents: synopses, air dates, whether there are cut scenes for an episode, which special features are where, and a cast list on the back.

Legends of Tomorrow: I only have unwrapped season 7 because I heard noises upon getting the package and it turns out that the case was a bit broken but not really worth all the fuss of sending back as the discs themselves still worked. The discs are numbered, with the interior DVD cover listing the disc contents- episode titles, which ones have unaired scenes, and any special features (none of which seem to point to a wrapping up of the series, unfortunately). It'll be interesting to see if the earlier seasons are the same or not.

The Librarians: A singular stack of discs, which makes access a little tricky. They're basically blank with 'Disc X of Season Y' formatting. To be fair, I did pay under $20 for it, so it's a good setup for that price.

Leverage: Seasons 2-5 have 'Disc X Episodes A-D' setups, as well as the interior DVD cover insisting episode titles and the special feature contents. Season 1 has just a 'Season X Disc Y' set up; although it is possible it originally came with a pamphlet that had been lost by the time it reached the library I bought it from. Second, I'm pretty sure this version of season 1 was meant to be for Quebec as everything is in English & French, particularly as the audio options for those languages are above the episodes on the menu screens. It also lacks the audio commentaries on the other seasons, so I might end up needing to buy another version that does have them. I suppose I'm lucky that this version plays on my laptop. This also isn't even going into the airing versus production order of the episodes.

Xena Warrior Princess: The actual discs have mild color coding per season that matches the DVD cover. They do the 'Season X Disc Y' format, with the DVD interior cover listing the episodes and their synopses.

Static Shock: Each disc lists the episodes it contains. The DVD cover image of Static is used as the image on that season's discs. I haven't unwrapped the box sets for seasons 3-4 yet, but it's likely they'll follow the pattern.

I haven't opened the 'full series' box set yet, but my season 1 Justice League (DCAU) DVD has a different superhero (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, & Green Lantern) on each disc along with a number. The back of the DVD case lists the episodes & special features on each disc; there's also a 'sleeve' with a series synopsis that the DVD case goes into. The actual DVD interior has black and white images from various episodes. Now I'm curious what the full series box set will be like.

Dinotopia: I don't own the miniseries, just the TV show. Each disc has a different image and is numbered. The episode numbers and titles are listed on them.

Warehouse 13: Going back to library purchases, this will likely be joining the rotation of shows I'm watching next year. Like XWP, each season's discs have their own color. 'Disc X' formatting is used, with the DVD interior covers listing each disc's contents (episodes & special features). I suppose I'll find out if 'podcast' is the show's term for audio commentary or if it's something else entirely.

I, Claudius: This is borderline, as basically I snagged 5 DVDs for a dollar each at the library sale. Each disc contains a few episodes; for example, disc 1 says "Episodes 1-3". The back of the DVD shows synopses and to the side, it even lists the scene titles. Each disc also has in it a sheet of paper that lists every episode and its scene as well as the segments of the special feature "The Epic That Never Was" which apparently is about an attempt at an earlier adaptation of I, Claudius.

The Muppet Show (1-3): I got this on Saturday at the library for $10. I am weak and had recently gotten early Christmas money from a relative (with the thank you card already sent by then, don't fret). Each disc has a different Muppet image and is numbered along with the episodes numbers ("Disc 1 Episodes 1-6" starts off season 3, for example). There is overlap between seasons (primarily Kermit & Miss Piggy). Seasons 2 & 3 have the same 'episodes sorted by disc with the Guest Star listed' set up on the back of the DVD design. Season 1, however, has a different set-up including a little pamphlet defining the guest stars in which episodes (sorted by disc). All three DVD sets say they're special editions, so I guess it's first season privileges? Even more bewilderingly, the first two seasons have a velvety texture on the sleeve fronts but the third does not.

Pushing Daisies: I bought season 1 last month, and it turns out the discs are designed to resemble pies. How delightful! While a 'Disc X' format is used, the DVD set does come with a pamphlet that lists the episode titles, air dates, and synopses as well as the special features and a cast list. The DVD cover itself is designed to resemble a menu for the Pie Hole. I'll see how the DVDs hold up once I do a re-watch of the show itself, but at a glance it looks to be a balanced blend of whimsy and function!

I did check the third disc for functioning via a peek at a special feature (it discussed deliberately saturating the colors for Pushing Daisies) but I suppose I also should check that the discs for I, Claudius and The Muppet Show still work. They almost certainly do, but it's probably best to check even if neither is on my shortlist. ... Pushing Daisies might, well, push itself on it, though.

All right, that's about it. Okay, maybe it's not every TV season DVD set I have, but this post represents a significant percentage of my collection/hoard.

Now I'm curious: does anyone else have a preferred style for DVD box sets or am I an outlier in collecting so many DVD box sets? It started in large part because of a lack of steady internet, but at this point it's a mix of habit, a dose of skepticism about streaming availability, and a love of special features.

That last one is most likely rooted in the short 'behind the scenes' segments at the end of each Wishbone episode, as I watched a lot of that show among other PBS content as a kid/tween. I do have three episodes on DVD but they don't really qualify to be discussed here as they are more like movie DVDs due to being solo (I do wish that there was a Wishbone DVD box set though).

I know no one besides me asked for this post, especially at this length, but honestly? I had fun making it, which is the important thing. :)

The Game Is On

Sanders Sides Appreciation Month W1- D3

My Wattpad | My Masterlist | Part 2

Appreciation Month Post

a. It’s common knowledge Logan is fandom trash like all of us! What happens if he enters into one of the universes he ‘secretly’ enjoys? Whether it’s Doctor Who, Star trek, Sherlock, Disney’s Atlantis or Big Hero 6! I’m sure he’d love the experience! (Out of the choices listed which do you think he’d choose? Or would he choose a different franchise or show?)

A/N: So… I guess this is a Doctor Who style crossover between Sanders Sides and BBC Sherlock. You can probably tell I’ve never written with most of these characters before, or anything like this, actually. Sorry it’s cut short, I just wanted to catch up. I’ll make a part two for sure, maybe after this month.

Logan awoke to the familiar feeling of being summoned. With some fast deduction he figured that it must be early morning if his alarm had not yet woken him up, and that it must be something relatively important if one of the other sides required his assistance at such an hour. He jumped out of his bed, straightened his sheets and his tie, then checked his hair in his small wall mirror before sinking down, preparing to deal with whoever’s mess necessary. However, when he was transporting, something felt odd, and he realised he was not travelling to another side’s room or even the common room.

Sure enough, his location was suddenly unfamiliar. At least, it wasn’t anywhere he was expecting. A part of him seemed to recognise the area, if only from pictures. Logan twirled around himself in attempt to get his bearings, then gasped at a sight in the distance. It wasn’t possible. How could it be? Was that… the London Eye? How could he, the logical facet of a man from Florida’s personality, be summoned to near central London, England? It was truly absurd, but he barely had time to stand around like a lost tourist.

“Excuse me.” Logan heard a low voice that seemed to be addressing him, and he could've sworn it sounded just like— “In the last five minutes, has anybody with an unusually tall grey hat passed by, presumably headin—”

“Oh. My. Goodness,” he couldn't help but exclaim, cutting the taller man off.

By this point he had turned back around to where he was previously facing, only to discover that his wild prediction was correct. He was standing face to face with Benedict Cumberbatch, dressed in his BBC Sherlock outfit, for whatever reason. Logan still had no clue what he was experiencing, whether it was a dream or otherwise. “Apologies, what were you asking me?” He told himself repeatedly that he must stay calm, stay collected. Being the rather invested fan of the Sherlock series (and of Benedict himself) that he was, it was beginning to become slightly difficult.

“Okay, you may be a fan, but I don’t have much time.” Logan nodded, on board with whatever he had to say or do. “I’m working a case and I’m looking for a man with an unusually tall grey hat who was last seen in Madam Tussauds, presumably travelling towards Paddington station.” Logan blinked, trying his best to take in the information. A case? “Have you seen anything?” He racked his brain but couldn’t recall seeing anyone prior to the other man’s appearance, so he promptly shook his head. “All right then,” he said decisively, and made a move as if to end his conversation with Logan.

“No- wait,” the logical trait called unthinkingly. It earned him the other man’s attention, which he didn’t entirely know what to do with. Said man turned back impatiently and raised an eyebrow expectantly. “What’s your name?” He knew it sounded blunt and utterly stupid but he needed to be sure. The tall man retracted his head very slightly in confusion.

“Sherlock Holmes,” he stated, as if it was the most obvious thing a man could say. Logan then unexpectedly spluttered a little and burst out with laughter, almost hysterically, out of sheer disbelief.

“No, come on, I mean actually.” Sherlock nodded gently. “Really? Not, like, Benedict Cumberbatch?” He was unsure if he’d ever felt more clueless and embarrassed in his life.

“Who?”

Logan shook his head repeatedly. He could not fathom it- nothing about what was happening was logical.

“You’re… Sherlock Holmes,” he asked, looking at what was very much Benedict’s face. He nodded slowly and rolled his eyes before turning away once more. Logan watched helplessly as his favourite TV character quite literally strode away from him. What was he supposed to do now? It was at this point that he realised that he didn’t feel like he was in the mindspace at all and that he’d never experienced that sensation before. It was invigorating. It was limitless.

However, Logan needed to know exactly what was going on, how it happened and why it happened. He racked his brain and the only logical thing he could think to do in this nonsensical situation was to phone home. He adjusted his glasses and scoured what must’ve been Baker Street for a phone box, which he almost immediately found. Once at the correct side of the road, he stood, waiting impatiently with a tapping of his foot for the Londoner in front of him to complete their phone call. Once they had done so, Logan swiftly stepped in and dialed Thomas’ number that he had obviously memorised in a precise hurry. His heart dropped when he soon discovered that wherever he currently was, that was not a valid phone number.

In conclusion, Logan realised that he must be somewhere that he didn’t exist and his family didn’t exist, but Sherlock Holmes, the Sherlock Holmes, was more existent than ever. As he tried his best to conjure up a plan, said detective came back, almost sprinting down Baker Street.

“Are you sure you didn’t see anything at all that could possibly be useful?” Logan’s expression lit up. He felt a little guilty for not being able to help but he quite enjoyed conversing with the other.

“This might sound ridiculous, but I had just arrived a few seconds prior to you initially speaking to me.” To his surprise, Sherlock grinned.

“Yes, I noticed. All sorts of strange things have been going on lately. What did you say your name was again,” he questioned.

“I didn’t. I am Logan Sanders and I don’t think I exist.” Sherlock rubbed his hands together like he was trying to keep them warm on a campfire.

“I don’t know if I believe you, but this actually sounds quite useful. Come with me.” Logan cleared his throat solemnly with a hand covering his face in attempt to disguise the impending grin that was threatening to spread like Crofters across his cheeks.

Before he knew it, Logan “Logic” Sanders was speedily walking behind Sherlock Holmes towards 221B Baker Street in a universe where he didn’t exist. It was just like on television: the man was a little barmy and the apartment reflected that. Logan stepped through the door frame that he had seen countless times on a screen but had never once been through, and tried not to gape as he looked upon the clues and leads displayed over the wall.

“Uh, and you are...?” He pivoted to the direction of the soft voice that was laced with suspicion.

“Logan Sanders. Good to meet you, Doctor John Watson.” He was never a huge fan of the character in the show, but he saw no reason to dislike the man when meeting him in person, so took his offer of a handshake.

Sherlock, who had been rummaging around for something (whether it was something physical or something inside his own mind, nobody could tell), spun his head around to face the other pair like a confused owl.

“Oh, so you know his name, do you?”

“I knew yours, too, I was simply… surprised, at first. It’s complicated,” Logan explained. He wished he knew how to elaborate further.

“Sherlock’s good at ‘complicated’.” Logan shook his head. There was no way he could explain something he couldn’t understand himself, and he despised not knowing.

“Look, if I can figure out what's going on with the recent disappearances,” Sherlock rambled to nobody in particular, “then I’m pretty sure I can solve Logan’s situation.” John and Sherlock turned to a still, speechless Logan with unreadable expressions. This was going to be a long night.

Alexander Siddig Master Post: What to watch and where to watch it

WATCH: Good Candy

Peaky Blinders: most shows mash up all their cool shots with a soundtrack for their trailer. Peaky Blinders is that, only all the time. It’s beautiful, slick and oddly soulless: like a Vanity Fair photoshoot come to life. Siddig’s only in the romantic subplot of Series Three (£9.49 Amazon), but wait to buy as it’s on Netflix from September.

Cairo Time: Set in Egypt. Nice little love story. Surprisingly British in a repressed ‘I’d better go/ yes you better go’ sense. Except they all drink coffee rather than tea and smoke hookah. On YouTube. Worth cost of DVD.

Hannibal: Elephants crossing the Alps on a BBC Drama budget: what’s not to like? Actually done very well and in a sort of documentary style. Added bonus that Scipio is Rose Tyler’s Dad. On YouTube.   ☩

Spooks: Nest of Angels episode: Traumatic. Remember seeing it as a kid in 2003 before UK suicide bombers were a thing. It’s harder to watch now. But definitely do as it’s a bold early attempt to tackle a lot of issues. It was and still is a brave piece of drama. On YouTube.   ☩

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: 7 Series, all available on Netflix: hour after hour of episodes. Say goodbye to at least two months of your life. Noticeable increase in quality and complexity Series 4, 5, 6.

Lawrence After Arabia: interesting, well written and with a young Ralph Fiennes. Pace and style is more like a play than a film. Can rent for £4.00 on Amazon.

WATCH DEPENDING ON YOUR TASTE:  aka. The Marmite flavoured Liquorice

Doctor Who - 1001 Nights (audio play): Really neat idea at the core. Doesn’t really get to Siddig’s story until episode four, but listening to the other parts really adds to the build-up. Yes, it’s £12.99, but it’s made by Big Finish (all round reliable candy makers) who employ a lot of old UK actors & writers, so resist urge to torrent.

Waking the Dead:  Endgame part 1 and part 2. Don’t be fooled by the CSI set up - this is a level up in violent and gruesome. You can watch it on the BBC YouTube channel for £1.99.  ☩

The Phantom of the Opera (audio play): faithful to the novel. Adapted by a Dalek. Good Commuting Material. Tad expensive at £12.99. Slightly cheaper if you use monthly credit on Audible.

Syriana – complex little film, full of a great cast. Intriguing, realistic and with worrying similar themes to Lawrence After Arabia but set a century later. Tad heavy going. Available free on Amazon prime.  ☩

The Flat Earth (audio play): Weirdly like Lost. Don’t listen to it on a flight. I think the writer may have been going for a sense of the transcendent in a way that was meant to be life affirming. But it actually conjures up some pretty horrific mental images…so, yeah… part 1, part 2  ☩

OKAY IF YOU’RE BORED: aka. Chewing Gum

Inescapable: the landscape is shot nicely but the story is dull. £5.10 to download on Amazon, but you can rent for 99p on iTunes which is fine because it’s not a film for repeat viewing.

True Love: only improvised drama series broadcast ever on BBC One. Turns out there is a reason for that: actors need writers.  Siddig is in episode four, which is the least mundane of the bunch. Bonus of Jane Horrocks.

Doomsday: post-apocalyptic movie. Oddly similar ‘flee to Scotland’ vibe as Reign of Fire below.  Not done well. 99p on Google Play, but seriously just go watch the infinitely better 28 Days Later instead.  ☩

Doctor Who – Sisters of the Flame/ The Vengeance of Morbius (Audio play): Worth it to hear Siddig play a centipede. ‘Cause its radio you just hear the hundreds of feet pattering every time he enters. £8.99 so try and buy when Big Finish have a deal on. Part one is both better and has more Siddig than part two. ☩

Un Homme Perdu:  version in Arabic & French but I can’t find a copy with English subtitles. That said, there’s not a lot of dialogue: if your French is moderate like mine you can muddle through. Intention kind of reminded me of the British 60s film Blow-Up. Kind of dull in an ‘art-film’ way even without language barrier.  

24 - Season 6: By this point of watching the back catalogue, I’ve got to admit I was getting pretty fed up of variations on Islamic Extremism stories. Siddig’s in episodes 2 – 7 and 9. £7.99 for whole series on Amazon, but low res version available on Dailymotion.  ☩

Reign of Fire: so the poster looks AWESOME (dragons destroying London, hell yes!). But that all happens off screen. Lacking dragon destruction, Siddig, female characters or emotional stakes. Contains FAR too much Matthew McConaughey. Rent for £2.48 to watch Christian Bale valiantly attempt to make the best of a bad job.

BARELY IN: aka Empty calories

Game of Thrones: you’ve probably seen the whole series already. If you want to watch just the episodes with Doran in, these are limited to Series 5: episodes 2, 6, 9, 10 and Series 6, episode 1. The entire globe has downloaded it illegally already, but ignoring that, you can buy it on Google Play for £1.99 per episode. ☩

Turmanbay (audio series): available free on BBC iplayer. Game of Thrones but on the radio. Bit repetitive.

Atlantis: in various episodes across Season 1. Scrappily put together and feels like a kids programme. It’s £12.49 to download on Amazon but I wouldn’t bother. 

Primeval: Theoretically in all of Series 4 and 5 – but in reality very little actual scenes until last two episodes of Series 5 (and even then, the amount of acting is debatable). Crappy production values and scripts lacking depth. If you really want to watch it, its £6.99 to stream on Amazon. ☩

Strike Back: Episodes 5 and 6: SAS video game masquerading as a TV show, or one of those books where the cover has a desert and a bullseye on it and the name of the author is in bigger print that the title. Generic variation on Islamic Extremism story…again… ☩

Doctor Who – The Wreck of the Titan: It’s not bad, just a sort of average Sixth Doctor story and for £12.99 you can live without it.

Merlin: meh, not worth it. Series 1, Episode 10: On Netflix. Better than Atlantis and Primeval though. ☩

The Nativity Story – feels like something they make you watch in school. Pretty, but totally lacking humanity or emotion. Part with Alexander Siddig as the Angel Gabriel is here.

DON’T WATCH: Just plain bad

Clash of the Titans: APPALLING MOVIE. WARNING, WARNING. DO NOT WATCH. Can rent for £3.00 on Amazon, but again DO NOT WATCH.  Should also be under ‘barely in’.

The Diary of River Song: “I went to a marvelous party” episode (audio play): Story is boring and heavy handed on the allegory. Add to that the fact it costs £30.00(eek!) makes it a ‘skip it’.

OTHER/ STUFF I CAN’T FIND

Recon: Seriously does this movie even exist? I can’t find it anywhere. Possibly just an elaborate front set up as a tax dodge…

The Big Battalions: missing, presumed wipe. I work near the BFI so went in to see if they have a copy. They didn’t even have a record it exists. Still, it was made by Carnival Productions (who thirty years later churn out Hollow Crown & Downtown Abbey) so was probably good with high production values.

Wild Arabia - documentary narration kindly recommended by little-Vulcan for its ‘dope landscape shots’. On Netflix
