RUN, don\u2019t walk to Netflix as you\u2019re able and PLEASE watch the movie The Old Guard, starring Charlize Theron as Andromache of Scythia who is still alive.
\u201cFour undying warriors who\u2019ve secretly protected humanity for centuries become targeted for their mysterious powers just as they discover a new immortal.\u201d \u2013 from Netflix description, available HERE.
But there\u2019s a catch\u2026
Adapted from Greg Rucka\u2019s comic of the same name, the story is about Andromache\u2019s (\u201cAndy\u2019s\u201d) leadership of this team and their attempts to stay undetected over the centuries, and what it means to be immortal when there are so few people in the world who are. Excellent diverse characters (two of Andy\u2019s team are men who are soulmates who met during the Crusades and the newest immortal is a Black woman), fabulous action scenes, fast pacing, strong writing.

Lise\u2019s shout-out is for the movie Knives Out, available on Amazon Prime. A clever, engrossing murder mystery in the style of ol\u2019 skool mysteries like Agatha Christie\u2019s.
Andi\u2019s shout-out is for season 2 of The Alienist on TNT, which just started airing. 19th-century New York City crime and crime-solvers. Dark and gripping.
