My partner-in-ponytailing Mr. Andrew Paul Koole is away this week and I’m feeling quite blue. Hope you can still enjoy this rain-bouquet of Picks I’ve picked for you.

As I have written elsewhere, I'll believe that Hollywood's latest obsession with Native Americans is real when Native actors aren't playing Native characters. Native actors must take the roles they're offered but they'd love to play the roles where their Native-ness isn't the point. Diversity is a valuable goal, certainly, but that same call for diversity ends up narrowing the options for Native filmmakers and actors.

In regards to diversity when it comes to gender and sexuality, this is why I loved Schitt's Creek so much.
Yes!! I came very close to having that as my "Watch" pick!
100%! Thanks for the comment.
