I find it depends on the show.

There's some that use a set formula and you can tell if it's your cup of tea pretty early.

For example:

X's a cop but y's...

The Devil

Immortal

A robot

A zombie

A serial killer

A cannibal

But some other shows might take longer to get into and figure out if they're for you due to complexity or number of characters.

I think Sense8 or The Expanse would be a good example of that

Most of our citizens... Probably.

Spineless Government... Probably not.

I really enjoyed season 1. Was hoping they'd see it through but they did drop the expanse. Not exactly known for good judgement Books are worth it then?

Recently finished and also enjoyed it. Do you know when the next captives war is due out?

Pretty sure the paper/ebook of 5 should be released early Jan. He always does a thing with Kindle for audiobook only for 6 months so they cover the narrator costs

USA trying to improve the electoral system!? Shocked Pikachu face

Surprisingly good news

Our preferential voting also helps to drag the main parties towards the middle too. But that seems unlikely to ever get in over there since it'd allow more than two parties

2006 release?

Haven't seen it but I'll check it out and get back to you!

Does Joseph's machines count as low tech?

Or do you mean more primitive tech?

It's my favourite movie but people either seem to love or hate it.

Started reading the book afterwards but didn't make it through the second half of the post apocalypse future story.

Usually recommend it to people since very few have seen it

In Australia we get a rebate on tax if we hold private cover. The rebate is generally larger if you hold better cover up to a certain level of income where you can clearly afford both.

Hospital + extras for myself and wife was about 3k last year.

For things like regular scripts I'm on some stupid expensive drugs but because of PBS instead of 20,000 per month I pay $35 ish per script until hitting a safety net threshold and it drops to $5 per script.

After turning 31 if you don't get private cover it costs more for each year you don't get it when you eventually do. It's to encourage people to get it if they can afford it. I'm not a fan but that's how it works at the moment
