A lot of movies and shows these days are shit. Last night I found a decent series called "The Last Samurai Standing" -- slight knock off from Squid Games but set in 19th century Japan; no black people. Recommended.
It's on Netflix - but easily found on streaming sites.

Serbia has created a new company, Gas Infrastruktura Novi Sad, to take ownership of the country’s gas infrastructure, while Srbijagas will remain the gas supplier. Energy Minister Dubravka Đedović Handanović said the move mirrors earlier reforms in the electricity…
Serbia's government reassured the public on November 24 that it has enough fuel reserves to maintain domestic supply, despite facing potential disruptions from U.S. sanctions on the NIS refinery. NIS, majority-owned by Russia’s Gazprom Neft, is struggling to secure a license from the U.S. Treasury to continue operations. With sanctions affecting payments and crude oil deliveries, the Serbian government has approved additional fuel imports to stabilize reserves. NIS has operational stockpiles of nearly 90,000 tons of diesel and over 53,000 tons of gasoline. While NIS has until November 25 to find new supplies, the government stated there is no cause for concern over fuel shortages.
