“You can just say flavors!”

I’m rereading William Gibson’s Neuromancer, it’s been a while and I forgot how good it is.

I thought the writing with the adult cast was generally good minus a few bits that they just kind of don’t address (or barely) - think

But it was good enough that it kept us engaged.

My wife and I are just finishing up an immediate rewatch of Yellowjackets and it’s damn good. Think Lord of the Flies but more modern and with a highly-competitive high school girls’ soccer team instead of prep school boys (although their coach and another coach’s sons are there too), and you also get to see how the experience shapes them after the fact.

Some characters you don’t expect to like end up being great, and the acting is fantastic throughout. The pacing for seasons 2-3 isn’t quite as tight as the first season but it’s still really good, hoping the last season holds up too when it comes out.
