One of the differences between men and women is that many women believe they can be friends with men, with no (romantic) strings attached. Most men believe Oscar Wilde: "Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship." Interestingly, Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was a homosexual. Hence, it's a gay...

Writer Jack Carr of The Terminal List (2018) does not have a Wikipedia page yet, despite being a success on Amazon Prime Video and on IMDb (rated 8,0). This new action series is mind-blowingly good.
