Dispatches from Elsewhere -
I believe a few people here wanted to watch this show. All the episodes are on demand now so I just watched the first one. It's pretty good. According to wiki this is based off an actual game and documentary film called The Institute. I might check that out after this show.
There is a cool animated bit in the show that is pretty clever. Also a building with a beautiful water fountain which I'm trying to find.
The story so far is basically a bored guy who lives by going to work and coming home gets involved in a reality type game. Or actually a few characters have different ideas on what it really is. We'll have to watch the whole series for a definite answer. I hope this doesn't end on a cliffhanger.
Also, there is an actress in the show that had my mind asking all kinds of questions. I wanted the bored guy to ask the lady where she is from or something a bit possibly insulting because her voice was kind of strange. But I checked wiki and this is a bit of a spoiler so I'll space it out a bit.
WARNING!!!
WARNING!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. The actress is like the Matrix brothers. Now called the Matrix siblings. She's a trans actress. Which is fine. I think I've only glimpsed one before in an HBO or Showtime show. Also, I read a story once about a show by the Matrix siblings that I want to see. But it was about how trans actresses were only getting trans roles. And sometimes not even those. Yet that actress looked like any other woman.
Perhaps Trump is right, I heard him say once that trans people take a lot of drugs. I don't know how he would know that. But what ever the condition of the actress, I can see why that bathroom debate is important. As no way should she enter a man's bathroom. I've had small incidents in bathrooms. I would hate to see what odd guys would attempt with a trans actress in a male bathroom.
But anyway, she has a cool, fun, and adventurous type character in Dispatches from Elsewhere. Probably so good that people shouldn't be worried about not casting similar actresses.
