My absolute favorite part about Aniara was that the ship interior really reminded me of Baltic Sea cruise ship. Perfectly executed production design.

Agree with the earlier posters on Enola Holmes, hoping it gets two sequels. Biggest downside for me was the climax and the farewells after that, could've used another 15-20 minutes for a better emotional payoff.

watch The Hunt (2012) with mads mikkelsen instead

I assumed people were talking about this at first and was then very confused.

One question I have, which is about the industry/filming process, is that when they do those shot-reverse-shot bits where the actor is looking into the camera, is the other actor in the conversation even present on set at all? And when they do over-the-shoulder shots is it always a stand-in or is the other actor sometimes there, too?

I read things about how actors sometimes find it hard to work without any reference or how their performances depend upon the energy of the people around them or their particular co-star giving them stuff to work with and every time I see a scene framing only one actor I wonder if they were basically just speaking into thin air at that moment.

Like a lot of things in shooting films/TV, this varies a lot. Generally you want to have the other actor there so you get your cues right, but there might be scheduling conflicts, or maybe the stars just can't stand each other. Maybe you're doing re-shoots and you only need the one star. Maybe the co-star is having a fit and refuses to come on set for that particular scene. Maybe the actor works perfectly well with a stand-in.

Mostly you're doing several different types of shots during a given a day, so you're likely to also have shots with more than one actor visible, which means that the actors have to be available on set anyway. TV is also often more fast paced than film, so you're shooting more material in a single day.
