Any northerner watching The Last Frontier will spot obvious errors. (Canadianisms in the dialogue, stumps on an obviously groomed trail, gear that's either too heavy or not heavy enough... and a helicopter that seats 11, 15 in a pinch, having trouble lifting off from the weight of a 5th person.)

I have Near Dark on in the background while I work today. It's my first time seeing it, and I swear to god until this very moment I thought it starred Bill Paxton.

The new season of The Witcher looks like the Blood Origins prequel series, which is to say the cut the production design budget in half and went w/ the aesthetic of a '90s Sam Raimi series. Liam Hemsworth isn't terrible, but he's clearly just doing a Henry Cavill impression. The acting is worse...
