Ooh, this'll be a good series.
There is the hand-waving of the rank-and-file crims only being stuffed in the Asylum temporarily because of problems at the "real" prison but it's uhhh... not great the place is set up to easily sub in for a supremely punitive cage rather than, you know...treatment.

The "you're the monster" line broke me, but I feel the acting carried the rest of the truncheon-text up to that point.
I did see it at the cinema, though, and not while second-screen as I cooked pasta so...sorry, Netflix executives.

So you clearly didn't read where he specifically says in the article that his successor was already appointed in 2013, hence why he's comfortable his resignation means the current administration doesn't get to fill it?

Speaking of ads in media, I snapped this last weekend when I walked past a newspaper stand in rural Australia for the first time in a while.
I remember when the headline on the front page used to be what sold your newspaper...

My current survivor always carries an open mug of stanky cold coffee in her pocket, brewed in the XPress before she goes out - literal lifesaver when drowsiness starts to hit!
