An up-and-coming CIA analyst, Jack Ryan, is thrust into a dangerous field assignment as he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit. As of this writing (12/3/2019), I've watched the first three episode of season 2. Not as good as season one. The plot's a bit of a muddle, and there are so many characters that I'm having a problem keeping them all straight. But I'll probably continue to watch it.

8 of singer/songwriter Dolly Parton's most famous songs are brought to life in 8 different episodes. I've watched the first episode, mostly to get a feel of Parton's esthetic. The first episode is pretty prosaic "country." I'm not a big Dolly fan, but I suspect this series will appeal to those who are. One of the episodes is said to have queer theme.

In director Baz Luhrmann's contemporary take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, the Montagues and Capulets have moved their ongoing feud to the sweltering suburb of Verona Beach, where Romeo and Juliet fall in love and secretly wed. Though the film is visually modern, the bard's dialogue remains. Richard & I happened on this version of Romeo & Juliet while surfing cable during a Tuesday breakfast. At one point I turned to him and said "This is not going to end well." And I did not mean the Shakesperian plot - which could only end one way. It's the getting there. It turned into a great muddle. If I had known, I would have surfed to another channel while I had my second cuppa.

Queer liberation
Three young people—Haris, a queer painter whose work is explicitly erotic; Vishnu, a rural kabaddi player of a very conservative Hindi family; who becomes Haris' muse and lover, and their young friend Sia of a very conservative Moslem family, an activist who refuses to conform to dominant norms of femininity—struggle to find space and happiness in their conservative Indian culture. While Ka Bodyscapes" is not an epic film, Director Jayan Cherian carefully develops the characters and the story. Unfortunately I know little of Indian culture and the queer liberation movement there, which means that the plot is uncertain at times. This is an excellent film, and deserves better distribution.
The “Ka” word in the title refers to Ancient Egyptian religion. Ka was the part of the human entity believed to be a life-force of a person that survived after death. While somewhat analogist to the Western culture's "soul", it is not synonymous. It is symbolized by outstretched arms raised in an U shape, as in the cover picture and the alternative image of an Egyptian wall carving.
"Bodyscape" is an artistic style where close up photographs of the human form convey the impression of landscape.

A Halloween Trick walks the fine line between horror and comedy as a woman with a nasty case of insomnia comes into conflict with her sexually voracious gay neighbor. Horror and hilarity ensue, along with a few wry observations about modern gay life. Besides, who hasn’t had the occasional complaint for being too loud during sex?" [Queerty]
