What did you watch?

Two-day catch-up, but I've been busy with work both days, so I haven't watched much:
soaps: Y&R - Ep from a couple of weeks ago. Traci meets with Sharon and Filis[sic!} to discuss their kidnapping by Martin Laurent - Filis is kind of insistent for answers with Traci, and seems to be hanging on by a thread mentally/emotionally.
    DOOL - Mon's ep. Not an interesting ep. They are threatening to kill off Bo again (off-screen, of course), so Shawn and Kayla & Roman are all devastated. Marlena and Steven return to town (why?! they still haven't even found John yet!). In another dumb bit, Tate asks NuSophia to "prom" - I didn't understand the point of this as Holly wasn't even in this ep!
    GH - Mon's ep. Whoa! Brick (Stephen A. Smith continues to moonlight on GH!) just coldly executes the assassin who had come to rub out Sonny! Then Brick calls in NuJack Brennan to "clean" the evidence, 'cos Jack Brennan just happened to be in L.A. too (apparently he was chasing Carly!). Kristina is such a dumb bitch - she and poor dumb innocent Molly castigate Alexis for considering involuntarily committing Kristina - at least Molly can claim to know really know what's going on, but Kristina should know *why* Alexis was considering this, and Kristina still acts all indignant. OK, I think it's going to turn out that the new professor dude (Daniel Goddard) was either having an affair with Emma in California, or was influencing her (in a cult?), and he's the one that got Emma arrested and expelled in California... By pure coincidence, the professor dude strikes up a conversation with Anna, which Josslyn the Spy observes.
Dead Sea (Hulu) - I couldn't remember if I had seen this 2024 flick before... and after watching it (again?) I am still not sure!
    If I didn't watch this particular flick before, I watched a film very like it - in which a young woman (Isabel Gravitt, who I think must be playing John Hamm's daughter in the current "Your Friends & Neighbors" series on Apple TV+) gets kidnapped by a human trafficker boat captain on the open seas, and has to work to rescue her injured friend (Genneya Walton, from "Project MC2") and herself from the situation.
    If I did watch this before, I must have been paying, like, *zero* attention the first time! as I didn't remember the "jet ski" beginning of the film with the two dudes, and I didn't remember that Gravitt's character nearly dies at the film's end, and that the end this film turns into a virtual recruitment vehicle for the U.S. Coast Guard!
    Overall, this was barely OK as a thriller, though Gravitt fills out a bikini pretty good.
And I must have watched this flick over the weekend, but forgot to mention it:
Dead Shot (Pee+) - A dreary 2023 British film set in the 1970s about the IRA and the Troubles.
    Colin Morgan stars as an (ex?) IRA member whose pregnant wife is accidentally killed/executed by a British soldier (Aml Ameen) - so of course the IRA dude swears to track down and kill the British soldier who did it, in revenge! but has to re-up with an evil IRA handler and travel to London(?) in order to do so.
    The only interesting thing about this flick is that it co-stars Felicity Jones, but she's not in this enough to come close to saving it.
