It’s “What have you been watching?”, your chance to recommend to fellow TMINE readers anything you’ve been watching this week

This week’s reviews

While US TV has only been serving up mini-series such as I Am The Night, streaming services have been taking up the slack this week. Elsewhere, I’ve reviewed two new Internet shows:

Russian Doll (season one) (Netflix)
Hanna (Amazon)

And this week’s Orange Wednesday gave us two film reviews: Split (2016) and Das Boot (1981), as well as a glimpse at Polar (2019)

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
