The President’s mirror

has been removed from office.

“It no longer reflects

the views of this government”

a spokesman said.

the snake-oil salesman

prepares hair-raising potions

the angles of incidents

are all obtuse

the cracked ideas

Beer on the beach. Zero alc of course
In Australia, streaming on SBS. Brilliant, brilliant performance by young Scottish actor Lewis Gribben, though there are several other great performances. Despite the trailer, it is not a zombie or monster flick, at least not in the usual sense. And I don’t recall any blood, except maybe a nose bleed. It’s sad, funny, insightful. It’s ‘coming of age’, it’s teenage angst, it’s family dynamics. It is also grief and mental illness. Comes in bite size 30 minute episodes, though you’ll be tempted to watch the next, and the next, and the next. I think you’ll like it!
