The Haunting of Hill House (2018 on Netflix)

I don’t usually go for horror because I don’t enjoy the feeling of being creeped out, which this miniseries certainly had plenty of (along with some excellent practical effects), but I will say that the story itself was superb, with lots of twists and reveals that had me hooked, and even tho some of the characters’ monologues got a little long and theatrical for my taste, the overall journey was surprisingly fulfilling and heartfelt.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
