Summer '36 – Netflix Series

Summer '36 – Official Trailer | Netflix
MVSRS

Summer of 1936 on the French Riviera. Factory workers have just gained a two-week, annual, paid vacation, so we've got a bunch of proles as well as the usual gang of swells in town. Our girl is also here, just graduated from the police academy and assigned to this out of the way place on her request. It also happens to be where her father is locked up awaiting his upcoming execution for murder, a murder his daughter is sure he did not commit. She's trying to do her job, and trying to find evidence to clear her father without letting her boss know that she is her father's daughter. And then we get swells being murdered, one after another, at the fancy hotel, so the cops have got their hands full.

Very entertaining in an Agatha Christie kind of way.

The Longest Promise - Netflix Series

ENG SUB】Xiao Zhan | The Longest Promise’s new trailer.
肖战影音会DAYTOY•Xiao Zhan

Chinese historical fantasy drama romance. We stepped off our well trod path of Chinese history dramas into fantasyland and were pleasantly surprised. 

Normally I am not too keen on fantasy, I like my stories firmly rooted in reality, though I will allow things that might be plausible in the future. But this show is none of that, we have all kinds of magic, and then I remembered Arthur C. Clarke's third law:

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

We are surrounded by all kinds of whiz-bang doo-dads these days and I suspect that most people have no idea how they work, and moreover, they don't care. So to them, modern life is a lot like watching this Chinese fantasy.

Peiying has a fine review here.

The show has some spectacular scenery, but the pace is glacial. I think I slept through about half of it.

Came across this image and wondered if Google could place it, and you can see that it did. Port Olya is at the head of Reka Bakhtemir, a long channel that extends a long way into the Caspian Sea, kind of like the way the Mississippi River delta extends in the Gulf of Mexico, er, America.

Reka Bakhtemir is the westernmost primary distributary of the Volga River delta in the Astrakhan Oblast of Russia. Spanning a length of about 47 miles, it funnels the majority of commercial shipping traffic from the Volga into the Caspian Sea.

Volga River is the principal waterway of western Russia and the historic cradle of the Russian state. Its basin contains almost half of the entire population of the Russian Republic. Starting northwest of Moscow, the Volga discharges into the Caspian Sea, some 2,000 miles to the south. It drops from its source at 750 feet above sea level to its mouth at 90 feet below sea level.
