I thought I saw some ads recently for a new Netflix series, I thought set in the 20s or something, I thought about gangsters or something, I thought called something I didn’t understand like “Plinky Ladder” or “Linky Bloodletter” or something.

I can’t find anything on Netflix that could be what I thought I’d seen.

Do you have any idea what I saw ads for?

No, I don’t think that was it.

I’m kidding. That’s totally it.

Linky Bloodletter is too good a name to not be used for _something_.
