The Chestnut Man: Hide and Seek - Netflix Series

Very creepy, very frustrating. We've got a stalker who surreptitiously makes video recordings of people and then sends them those recordings along with bits of a nursery rhyme. Once they are well on edge, our stalker sneaks in, kills them and then slips away, often just seconds before our hero cops appear. Bodies start piling up, and then they start hitting closer to home, so now we're super motivated to find this scum bag, and find them we do.

The climax was a bit irritating. Our big and strong hero Hess has finally tracked down the villain, a slightly built woman, but he doesn't have a positive ID yet, so she's just a suspect. But she ain't waiting for the handcuffs, she  makes a surprise attack on our boy with an ax, doesn't connect with the ax, but manages to knock him to the ground. While he's on the ground she manages to give him a big ax whack in his leg. There is a tussle and he manages to get back on his feet and runs away to the bog. Who knows how people's brains react under stress, but I can tell you from the comfort of my armchair that was the wrong thing to do. He should have dealt with this woman here and now. Of course he doesn't have his gun because he's been suspended. Of course he has, dramatic cop shows, you know.

6 episodes under an hour each.

Jakarta is Sinking

Jakarta's land subsidence

I knew a large portion of the Netherlands was below sea level, which is crazy, but the Dutch, at least in most other respects, seem to be fairly level headed. And you don't hear them crying about it, so if they want to indulge in a bit of crazy and live in a place that ought to be underwater, well, go ahead on. I'll let you.

Jakarta & southeast Asia

But I kind of thought it was only place in the world like that. Well, there is Death Valley (280 feet below sea level) and the Dead Sea (1400 feet below sea level), but they are not right up against an ocean that could flood them in a moments notice. In any case Holland isn't the only place. Jakarta Indonesia is slowing sinking and large parts of it are now below sea level. They noticed this a while back and started building a sea wall in 2014.

This video from the Drop A Pin YouTube channel got me started. He uses a curious format. He asks a question of like two dozen people who all get the answer wrong before he finally finds someone who gets it right. He sucked me in the first few dozen videos I saw, but now I skip to the end to find the answer.
