Giri/Haji on Netflix

It’s an 8 episode series about the Yakuza (Japanese crime families) and police based in Tokyo and London. Most of the dialogue is in English but quite a bit in Japanese.

I had never heard of it but it popped up on my suggested shows. I’m through 6 episodes and enjoying it so far.

she laughs about how some of the doctors behave and talk, think some of the conversations about healthcare are interesting ,and when the one doctor starts talking about his clinical trial using viruses to target tumors using the protein on the outside of the tumor as target

Just started the first season of West Wing. It's been ten years or so since I did the series.

Incredibly well written.

Best scene ever was when they were having a late night poker game and sent the blonde staffer to get pizza so the media wouldn’t think there was a crisis. They are having a discussion about tax rebates. Bradley Whitford says no way, “We are Democrats and we don’t believe the people can be trusted to use their own money wisely.” When Donna Moss returns with the pizzas, Whitford asks where his change is and she replies, “We are Democrats, you can’t be trusted with your own money.” Surprised a socialist like Sorkin would let that truism through his lefty filter.

I was on a plane down to Mexico a few years ago. Younger guy and his wife sit in the other two seats next to me. Halfway down south, he pulls out a magazine (Doctors Monthly?) and is studying what appears to be heart-surgery related photographs. I asked if he was studying professionally or just as an amateur. He laughed appreciatively and said that yes, he was a surgeon and about to finish his residency. He went on to discuss what he was reading about, a new method of clearing blockages in the main cardiac artery, and I was quickly lost. When he finished his explanation, I made a little jest: "Pity you guys haven't figured out tiny robots that will just run through your arteries and eat blockages up."

"Oh! I have some friends working on that! They're doing amazing things! It won't be too long before they will be trying out actual working models and getting concrete results!"

I couldn't tell if he was pulling my leg, or if there was something chewing on a blockage in my femoral artery. Anyway, most interesting!

Go ahead! Get the steak!

what was funny to me about the neuro involved with the clinical trials is he makes a comment in one episode that the science guys don't understand the medicine involved and the medicine guys don't understand the science.

Started watching the new David Spade Netflix movie, The Wrong Missy. It is exactly what you would expect from David Spade. Lots of cameos from his normal group of friends. It appeals to my seventh grade humor.

“Undercover” on Netflix is good.

Make and female undercover cops pose as a couple at a vacation style campground to try and infiltrate an ecstasy dealer’s network.

I just finished season 1 and they are making a season 2.

Started Zerozerozero on Amazon. Set in Italy (Buyers), Mexico (Sellers) and New Orleans (Brokers). Kind of Sopranos meets Narcos. 3 episodes in, and it's pretty good if you dont mind subtitles. Apparently the writer of it has been under police protection since 2006. He wrote some book about the Italian mafia, and they apparently put a bounty on him.
