I can't bring myself to watch Killers Of The Flower Moon. I've pretty much had it with depressing and/or disturbing

movies and TV programs. I couldn’t get through the first episode of the new Perry Mason series, same for True Detective.

Was a time nothing bothered me, not so now!

BUT I thought the movie was tedious and ham-handed in its execution. Waste of great actors.

Tried to familiarize myself with the subject matter (which is warranted). But sitting through the celluloid experience ... Don't need the grief.

movies/TV. I need something positive and humorous for a change. I am enjoying Matlock with Kathy Bates and Elsbeth with Carrie Preston.
