I've finished:
- Fringe S04:
- completely loving this season, so many interesting twists and turns
- What We Do In The Shadows S03:
- It’s ok, there’s no laugh out loud moment for me, just couple of chuckles. Still love Matt Berry
- The Thick of It S01:
- Again, no LOL moment, just a few chuckles. Also, maybe political comedy is just not for me
- Love Death & Robots S01:
- There are some good ones, but I dislike some of the zany episodes, just not my taste. I do appreciate that some episodes are just around 15 mins
- Amazing Stories 1985 S01:
- Very boring, it is not Twilight Zone. I might drop the whole thing.
I'm still watching:
- JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure S05:
- Still really good. I just realized that, starting from certain arc (maybe Joseph’s), the main characters / party members seem to be shouting / screaming a lot.
Starting:
- 30 Rock S02:
- I am really enjoying this second season, there’s a lot of absurd situations
- Archive 81 S01:
- Enjoying it, I like that it’s not supernatural (your typical ghosts / satan) horror. Kinda like the twist
- X-Men Evolution S01:
- This feels like it’s geared towards highschool kids. The 97 animated series feels more… mature / adult oriented?
- The X-Files S02:
- Definitely moves faster than S01. I am really liking this season.
So, what have you been watching last week?
Edit: I always forgot that I watched some movies too:
Here they are
- Freelance (2023):
- not interesting at all, dropped it halfway
- Elle (2016):
- this is Paul Verhoeven’s French movie. It’s a really interesting movie, doubly so when you realized what’s actually happening
- Alone Across Arctic (2019):
- Sadly I don’t find the documentary interesting enough
- Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 1 (2012)
- This is a good Hindi language movie, somehow reminds me of the golden era of Hong Kong’s triad movies. But there are parts that definitely could be trimmed. 2½ hour is just bit way too long.
- Butcher’s Crossing (2023)
- I watched it because I have the sick urge to watch all Nic Cage’s movies. I think this is one of those direct to DVD ones. Something about hunting bisons. Very boring.
Cancelled Disney+ and HBO, so decided to get Dropout. Started watching Game Changer for some no investment comedy. Will probably start D20 soon too.
What is Dropout? and what is D20?
Dropout is a streaming service from a bunch of former CollegeHumor folks. There are silly game shows like Game Changer and Um, Actually. D20 is their TTRPG show. They mostly play D&D set is funny scenarios (fantasy high school, Candyland), but have done sci-fi games and a couple others. Think Critical Role but much shorter stories and with comedians instead of voice actors.
