Now (or Recently)
The "now page" concept comes from an idea by Derek Sivers to have people communicate what they're focused on now at this point in their lives.

Formula 1: Drive to Survive • Season 8 review. Once again Drive to Survive is very painful for long- time and knowledgeable Formula One fans. They continue to manufacture story lines that don’t quite exist and they continue to give Christian Horner more attention than that guy deserves. And now they’ve added Flavio Briatore to the attention they don’t deserve category. The last couple of episodes were pretty good though. **
The Night Manager • 2016 • Season 2 review • Tom Hiddleston continues to be super compelling in this role. The supporting cast here is very good - Diego Calva as Teddy Dos Santos and Camila Morrone as Roxana Bolaños are expecially good. Paul Chahidi (Basil) and Hayley Squires (Sally) are also great. *****
