Not so sure that is enough… 5 days of work then 2 days of taking care of kids and cleaning and laundry? It takes months between me and my wife getting a couple of hours for ourselves. Only thing I think could help is going back to the tradi

Does Pirates of the Caribbean have to live up to the same standard? Or is it only sci fi? Star Trek? The BBC black mirror seasons where great and a fresh take on sci fi. They filled the gap X-Files left behind, and it doesn’t need to do mor
