Unstable | Netflix

Let me start by saying that this is a TV Show starring Rob Lowe! (and his actual son). It’s a workplace comedy and a very light-watch show about a young adult who keeps trying to “save” his very PECULIAR biotech CEO father and his company from literal tragedy.

Barracuda Queens | Netflix

A Swedish show based on real events. It tells us the story of a group of girls who get involved in constant and escalating robberies of luxury homes. It's a very entertaining show, all the main characters are quite likable, and the last episode was an absolute twist!

Turn of the Tide | Netflix

And who doesn’t a love a good Portuguese drama? It’s not only because I’m Portuguese, but I must give this show a 10/10. If you are into thriller & (slightly) dark humor vibe with a lot of profanity, I really recommend you to watch this. Also, it’s really interesting to say that the story is actually part real, so that spices things up. I must add: amazing story, photography, writing, landscapes, actors and director. Initial plot: “When a boat loaded with cocaine sinks off his home island, Eduardo sees a risky but exciting opportunity to make money and fulfill impossible dreams.”

What is economic value, and who creates it? | Mariana Mazzucato TedX Talk

I have been a follower of this economist for a long time. I like her ideas and the fact the she works directly with policymakers in order to make them understand better the global economy. In this TedX Talk she talks about how and why we should reshape our current financial system which ideally would lead to a more innovative and sustainable concept of capitalism.

Yuval Noah Harari argues that AI has hacked the operating system of human civilisation

Yuval just wrote a guest essay for The Economist defending that storytelling computers will change the course of human history. Although I do not agree with his approach, the essay is a good read and a different perspective.

It’s an Australian TV Show so, there’s that! It’s definitely a must-see show! Incredible writing and good acting. The show overall has a great mixture of comedy, tragedy and life lessons. Basically it started with a women struggling in her late 30’s plot, but then there’s surprises with unexpected twists, LEWD jokes and a whole “heart-warming journey to self-discovery and life long friendships”. Hope there’s a season 2 incoming!

Marcella | Netflix

Name ONE bad British TV Series. (You can’t!) Well, this one is no exception. An absolutely incredible British drama - it is not your average TV Cop / Mistery Show. This is an art combination of the protagonist's manic and depressive personality, along with the created ambiance of darkness, the music and the scenarios. All of these elements have created an atmosphere that was almost too sordid to watch. (Anna Friel played the main role exceptionally.) It is profoundly disturbing. Long story short: “Set in Rosenfeldt's unique style of Nordic Noir, the body of a missing child is discovered inside a wall and a task-force is assembled to catch the killer. A complex set of characters from all walks of life and interweaving storylines will take viewers on a dark and emotional journey with turns at every corner.”
