--   8:44p  Finished a long conversation with Copilot about my BitLocker scare and
possible new PCs to think about if I need to buy one soon, although its advice was
hard to follow since there's so many choices, and none of them are perfect.

>>>   9:06p  "Revival"  (06/12/25)  (Metacritic: 72, 62-75, #7)
A police officer is ready to leave a rural Wisconsin town when the dead suddenly return to life 
in the series based on the Image Comics.  I wasn't going to watch it if it was about zombies, 
but the revived have personalities and memories intact.  It's mostly a murder mystery,
although that's not my favorite genre either.
~~  Takes place in the real Wausau, WI, except they say it's in
Mountain Bay County when the real county name is Marathon.  They filmed exteriors
in Wausau but the show is mostly filmed in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.
~~  Some say it's a cross between "Wynona Earp" and "Fargo".  I like the latter but
have never watched the former.  The main actress was in that show.
~~  The acting is poor, but I'm almost sure it's because the director wanted it
that way -- we're supposed to be amused by it.  I will probably keep watching
for a while, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
