Binge finished the Korean drama “Doom at Your Service” on Netflix.

Premise is a woman who has 3 months to live due to brain cancer makes a contract with Doom (Death/Destruction/bad stuff that happens to humans). She finds out, after the fact, that there’s a severe consequence if she breaks the contract early - the person she loves the most will die…. so in order to save the world and herself, she tries to fall in love with Doom.

The variations of how they both try to manipulate and deal with the terms of the contract is the bulk of the show. Some light comedy, much more drama and feelz, so have the Kleenex box nearby for the last few eps.

There’s also a substory of the woman’s best friend figuring out her own love triangle.

The characters are interesting and Doom’s house is amazing in a seriously singular-vision interior designer way. Some of the extreme traits for the side male characters gets annoying to me, but I’ll assume it’s for comedic effect for the intended Korean audience.

The pacing felt weird at times, but there are enough moments that mattered for me to keep watching. I also really wanted to find out who the friend chose in the love triangle (it’s was a guy I liked - yay!).

Mom and I tried the first of the Jack Hunter films …. and didn’t need to watch any further. Kinda of a C-grade Indiana Jones. Which lead us to talking about … Indiana Jones.

So we watched the good (odd-numbered) ones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, IJ and the Last Crusade, and IJ and the Dial of Destiny.

I told her we could skip IJ and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull … which reminded her of one of her favorite Stargate SG-1 eps.

So now we’re watching SG1. Starting at the beginning of Season 3 because that season has her ep.

Endgame (2011) is a rewatch for me, new to Mom. A good show if you like Leverage or solving mysteries that don’t need a dead body in every episode.

Premise is a Russian chess master can’t leave his hotel due to the trauma of seeing his fiancée killed in a drive-by shooting in front of the hotel. Shawn Doyle plays the lead (loved him in The Expanse and Star Trek: Discover). The A story is the case that is solved in each ep; B story is the investigation of why his fiancée was killed.

There’s one season of 13 episodes, though if you don’t want to see a cliffhanger that is never resolved because the show didn’t get a second season, don’t watch the last ep.
