I have been watching this season's Taskmaster. I've seen some before but it's tended to be more of an on in the background than an active watch? I'm actively watching this season though. I like the panel. Jenny's enthusiasm is infectious and she's very funny, Frankie is surprisingly calm and soft-spoken (I love his and Ivo's team tasks - that spoon task was my favourite of the series so far), Ivo panics, Kiell is funny and Mae likes to look for loopholes.

Are there any kids in Lost? That's normally where it becomes a really hard sell. Take Netflix's adaption of A Series of Unfortunate Events, for example: you can always tell instantly what season you're on based on Sunny (the baby, if you're unfamiliar with the books). It kind of works for that show as Sunny does grow up somewhat in the books but not as drastically as seen on screen.

Exhibit A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TniV1CI9lE (the opening sequence for all episodes; spot the season based on baby age :P).

I've just looked up that wikipedia article for Monster and my favourite bit is that on the cover it says HORRIBLE STORY under the title. Has nobody heard of marketing?? That plot summary barely touches on the story, too - it's a very character driven story and doesn't ever give easy answers to the questions it presents.

I realised that in my Eva summary I didn't put the main bit of why it reminded me of your line. Here is a quote from one of the translations, from Eva (think this might be from the official dub): "This man was my only hope. I must see to it that his life is ruined, or I can never be happy again." Eva's a fascinating mess.
