Billions

I liked the first season of this show but by midway through season 2 I was annoyed at the irrational decisions the two male main characters were making - and considering that the main draw of this show, for me, was smart people doing brilliant stuff to succeed in high society, I was not interested in the cheap plotting of less-than-brilliant writers.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.

Creepy slow and artsy, well-acted altho some of the monologues and artistic choices tried a little too hard, overall just different  which I really appreciated, deep and heartfelt and not afraid of some discomfort.
