Before he was cast as the genteel natured Hound in GoTs, Rory McCann put MagellanTV on the streaming map. He was perfect as Attila the Hun.
Woke types called it whitewashing, he was an Oriental Warlord. I seriously doubt people from the Far East would mind, he's not exactly a reverential figure.

President Obama is Uncle Fester.
I thoroughly enjoyed Wednesday, it was a macabre murder mystery. Luis Guzman (Gomez) and Catherine Zeta Jones (Morticia) hooked me in from the start then Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) took over. What impressed me the most was the supreme awesomeness of Thing, he/she/it wasn't created with CGI. An actor/sign language expert played the role using his own hand, it was spectacular to watch. Thing belongs in the Shatner pantheon of Gods.

When a wild tiger kills men who enter his territory he is declared a man-eater and locked up in a zoo. This galvanizes massive social uproar and activists take their cause to the streets, online, on to billboards and all the way to the Supreme Court.
Seems promising....
Just to clear up a purposeful rue, President Obama does not ply Uncle Fester in Wednesday. It's Fred Armisen who played President Obama on SNL.
It was cute and enjoyable, but I don't think it needed it to be "Wednesday Addams" in any way.
Ortega was great at what she was asked to do, but it really was just an excuse to get a high school weirdness show made and didn't really feel very specifically "Addams family".
Right now on Tulsa King and Sandman.
Tulsa King started a bit contrived, but the characters are now growing on me. And I see the greater story story unfolding.
Sandman I'm two in and really enjoying it. I went in with small expectations and its exceeding them bucely. Always a treat to see so many British actors who can morph so well into roles.

Its no Dark. I’ve tried several times to get into it but can’t get past episode 3.
Taylor Sheridan has been busy lately writing “non woke shows in an world of Woke“. Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and the whole Yellowstone universe which now includes 1883 and 1923. The latest instalment had a great premiere last week and has the potential to be the best out of all of them.
Most of my friends dropped Sandman after the godawful pilot episode.
I ended up sticking with it because of some other people's recommendations and it does drag itself up to ok as they get more confident about taking their own view of the source material.
If you like it after two, you will probably really like it by the end.
It would have been great if they had cast someone for Morpheus who didn't suck, although I wonder if it is the directing that's holding him back. (I don't know him from other work so I can't tell.)
They have the pieces in place for a season 2 that is much stronger, but you never know what lessons they will learn from how season 1 was received.
With what's happened in Afghanistan lately, I showcased Afghan/Canadian Stuntwoman/actress Mitra Suri. Born in New Delhi raised in Toronto.
