'Servant' Season 2 on Apple TV+ finds its suspenseful footing. This one's a keeper.

Are you familiar with the "bomb theory?"

It's an idea coined by Alfred Hitchcock: Imagine there's a bomb under a table, and the two people sitting down don't know it's there. That bomb could just explode suddenly, and it would be momentarily, powerfully surprising for us in the audience.

That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
