Andor is A+
After 2 episodes of Peripheral decided to wait to binge. Too complicated to space it out.
Found âAll Quiet on the Western Frontâ a solid watch (If a little confusing on whoâs who in some action scenes). Never read the book, though probably assigned a few times.
âTales of the Jediâ more notable for canon reveals than the actual episodes themselves. Watch if you have an hour and the slightest interest beyond the tent pole movies.
"Little Demon" clever watch with a million little jokes. Enjoyed. Tiny commitment.
Have never watched or read any of Interview with the Vampire books or movies and liked most of the current series. No idea how it holds up to previous versions.
I have no idea who any of those guys are. That makes me happy.

I just today watched the BCS where Jimmy dressed up as Howard, complete with fake tan, and threw a hooker out of Howardâs car

âRoarâ on Apple TV+ is really good. Itâs a feminist Black Mirror basically.
Rewatching Ushijima the Loan Shark on Netflix. Canât get enough of it.
Dark comedy about usury money lenders and a desperate motley cast of characters eternally indebted to them. A lot of what is portrayed in the series is not far from what you can see on the streets of Tokyo.
Not sure how well many of the culturally embedded nuances of Japanese humor translate over into the English version, but if youâre in the mood for something different, give it a try.
The FIFA show on Netflix is mind blowing.
The Old Man is pretty good through 2 episodes, 2nd episode dragged a bit but Iâll keep watching.
Watched a few episodes of the Quantum Leap reboot. Itâs solid. Nothing ground breaking (obviously) and since itâs on network TV, thereâs nothing real edgy or overly interesting, but it works so far. One of those shows thatâs easy to sit down and watch with your significant other and not have to think too hard about.
The clear weaknesses are built in because itâs Quantum Leap: a) you know heâs not getting home, at least not any time soon, and b) you know heâs going to solve the episodeâs problem, or else thereâs no next episode.
Some of that lack of suspense is mitigated by the parallel story line, which I wonât spoil here.
Itâs also cool that they tied in the old show. Itâs been forever since I watched the original, so I canât say if this is better or worse. I suspect the original was better when it comes to the protagonist solving the problem of the day, but I donât remember there being the parallel story line, so thatâs probably better with the new one.
Also, Iâm waiting for them to redo this:

I wouldnât mind suggestions for shows like this, something predictable but well-executed, not breaking any tropes so that I can enjoy without thinking too hard.
Abort now! It gets really bad

Well that sucks! wife and I are pretty much out of shows to watch together so weâll keep going for now.
I had a slightly higher opinion of the show and enjoyed most of it. But the entire premise kinda falls apart and doesnât make any sense at all by the end of the season, and if theyâre still planning S2 I have no idea how that works because none of the charactersâ motivations are coherent.
