They show a business and lab where they are 3d printing organ matrices and adding tweaked stem cells, manufacturing organs for transplant. The biggest thing so far is that the main is being hunted and she's found out that there are multiple copies of her.

I return you to your regular viewing.

Yawn.

The book this is based upon came up on my Audible wishlist. It's well regarded, but not immediately in line to be chosen. But the series on Amazon Prime Video is well reviewed, and I'm a big Rosamund Pike fan.

Starting season 16 of Grey's Anatomy.

I've been ironing, cutting fabric, pinning, and sewing a lot lately so I have had it on to at least listen to it and glance at the screen now and then.

Found 'Black Dynamite' on CN/adult swim. I'm enjoying it.

They definitely play up that angle, poke fun at many stereo types. The OJ and MJ episodes were good.

This is another series based upon a popular series of books that came up on my audible wish list.  I'll likely listen to the audiobook.  I'm not sure about the other, Wheel of Time, which is based upon the The Eye of the World and the following books. The Eye of the World is 30 hours of listening, even if I don't go any further than that. I'm having trouble accepting Rosamund Pike's character.
