Got done watching on Netflix weak hero. Really good. If you like south Korean shows.
The school scene I found kind of fake, but the story was generally good.

Wheel of Time is a solid B- fantasy setting with a lot of overt nods to other fantasy and sci-fi tentpoles
Im on episode 6 of The White Lotus. I hate Paula. What a ungrateful bitch
I’ve been watching Industry on HBO. Its wild because its all about twentysomethings with ambition and it makes me feel old AF, not only because I remember that drive I had at that age, but also because it makes me feel like basically a Puritan when I watch some of the sex/drugs, lol.
Any star wars fan here, I cannot recommend Andor high enough. Talk about star wars for adults holy crap it is honestly fantastic storytelling.

Severance season 2 has jumped the shark. Really enjoyed season 1 but it appears they didn’t write material for beyond season 1 because the show doesn’t have a coherent plot anymore and they just try to cover that with weirdness. It’s the same as what happened to Lost.

Keep watching… I really enjoyed season 2!
I went to Sinners on Tuesday. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Thought the Rotten Tomatoes 100/100 was a bit much but it was certainly a good, enjoyable flick.

Can’t believe possibly my favorite show of all time hasn’t been mentioned yet!
#1 Ted Lasso is absolutely awesome. Worth getting Apple TV, binging it, and then cancelling Apple TV.
#2 Warrior on Netflix. Stumbled across it, gave it a shot. Not gonna change your life, but really liked it. Warrior (TV Series 2019–2023) - IMDb
Ted Lasso is so well liked that nobody probably thought to include it.
I’ll have to check out Warrior.
A show that sounds on the same level as Warrior (not gonna change your life but I liked it) is The Last Kingdom. I nerd out on these kind of things, and it took place in a time that is pretty murky in history books aka Viking invasions and migrations to the UK pre-William the Conqueror and the battle for England between the Christian natives and Nordic Pagan invaders.
It’s still better than most shows but I think the quality dipped in year 2. I really think you have to map out a story rather than just wing it.

Are you caught up? Seen it all? Don’t want be a spoiler guy.
Dude,
Great call on Last Kingdom. Great show!
I had one major problem with it tho.
I read (and loved) all the books years before the movie series came out. In the books the main character Uthred was a giant badass Viking warrior. In the movie series he…well… was not.
Very much like seeing Tom Cruise play Jack Reacher. Humongous tough guy in the books, teeny pretty boy in the movie.
But pretty much every other character was spot on, and I really loved the series once I got over that detail.
ps: I nerd out on that stuff too, and I can really recommend the books. Quite a few big differences from the show. Another thing I really liked was the books are “historical fiction” and at the end of each book, the author had a few pages explaining what parts were true and what parts were fiction. Stuff like “That guy really lived, and that battle really happened, but I can’t prove he was actually there” or “that battle really happened, but 100 years after the timeline in the books, so I moved it because it made the story better”

I finished it, but I should probably erase that, I’m sure others here haven’t watched it.
I created a thread for this… Will tag you.
