Whatcha Watching?

The hubs and I finished The Clone Wars last night. Season 7 was done so well which tied Asoka’s story with Revenge of the Sith. But the final scenes were beautifully heart breaking. We venture on to Rebels. I love how the cartoons tie into The Mandalorian.

I am watching The Alienist on HBO Max which aired on TNT. The best-selling book by Caleb Carr is the basis for “The Alienist,” a psychological thriller set amidst the vast wealth, extreme poverty and technological innovation of 1896 New York. A never-before-seen ritualistic killer is responsible for the gruesome murders of boy prostitutes, and newly appointed police commissioner Theodore Roosevelt calls upon criminal psychologist Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, newspaper illustrator John Moore and police department secretary Sara Howard to conduct the investigation in secret. The brilliant, obsessive Kreizler is known as an alienist — one who studies mental pathologies and the deviant behaviors of those who are alienated from themselves and society. His job, along with his controversial views, makes him a social pariah in some circles. But helped by a band of outsiders, Kreizler’s tireless efforts eventually answer the question behind what makes a man into a murderer.

It is dark and interesting. A disturbing period piece. But pointed out how the rich were above the law and how with new sciences it changed police procedures.
