I have come to realize more fully that He wants all of His children to find peace, joy, and happiness in their lives.

. . .  I have come to realize more fully that He wants all of His children to find peace, joy, and happiness in their lives.

M. Russell Ballard

Discovery of peace and joy

should all our strength each day employ.

Such happiness we seek in vain

if foolish views we entertain.

The Father of us all knows how

each furrow of our lives to plow,

and He will lead us unto bliss

if we take not his laws amiss.

The foolish who must ever stray

will keep true harmony at bay.

But those who follow God in love

find cheer today from hope above.

THE NEW ADVENTURES OF MONKEY KING

This Australian series is not bad, not bad at all. No swearing. No overt sexual hanky-panky. The actors are not goslings, and not doddering wrecks either. I recommend it for a family hunker-down on a lazy Sunday evening, or for an individual couch potato binge watching session at any time. There's magic and faint traces of Zen Buddhism and a nice commingling of humor and bonhomie. The plot moves at a brisk, mindless pace, with plenty of twists and turns. Set your expectations to "Medium" and this series will keep you very well entertained.
(And just to fan the flames of controversy Down Under -- it's obvious that the producers of this series are pandering to the Asian market in Australia, even though there's not a major Asian actor/actress in the cast. There's not even a hint of a billibong in this show, either. Just shows how the Chinese are working their mojo in Australia, eh mate?)

BTW: This is my dinner tonight, while reviewing Netflix stuff.  Anybody got a problem with that?

HISTORICAL ROASTS

Dirty. Disgusting. Defamatory. Disappointing -- the concept is so wonderful that somebody needs to be arrested for felony creative fumbling on this one. 

TRAVELERS

This one didn't even last five minutes. Drug use. Fuff.

FLAVORFUL ORIGINS.

The narrator of this series makes it sound like an infomercial.
Usually when I watch a Chinese food show I get so hungry I start gnawing on the furniture, but in the first episode here, as the doughty country lady made olive pig lung soup, I found myself wishing only for a cold bottle of club soda. This show is like streaming kapok -- nothing but empty fluff.

PATRIOT ACT WITH HASAN MINHAJ


Hasan, boychik, you're smart, you're handsome, your humor is tart and refreshing; why do you spoil it all with so many f-bombs? Oy, you think people will laugh less if you moderate your language? They won't. I'm not gonna recommend your show to my vast audience of viewers (all 30 of 'em), but I'm gonna finish watching the first episode about IPL Cricket -- it's so dang compelling!

Postcard to the President.
