Further thoughts: I like that it didn't shy away from melodrama, but it didn't quite nail the father-son-master / enemies who love each other / neither can live while the other survives dynamic that the book does so well.
Am also devoting considerable brain space to why they made Walton Norwegian.

Other feelings: casting was great, liked the reimagining of Elizabeth, enjoyed the addition of Christoph Waltz, wish the rest had stuck a bit closer to the original plot.
Favourite acting choice was Jacob Elordi's laudable but somewhat jarring choice to make the monster slightly northern.

The saving grace is that at some point Star Trek became the thing I put on at bed-time, so it is now a tried and tested method of falling asleep.
The bad news is that because I'm usually half-asleep, I can't remember 90% of what I've watched, which makes the whole enterprise deeply pointless...

....so far I've watched 2034 hrs. That's 12 whole weeks of my life. I don't think I'm even halfway through yet. Since I started doing this they have added THIRTEEN new seasons across the franchise. I can't watch any of these new ones, because I'm going in order and I'm still stuck in the late 90s...
