Juggling a lot right now, just got a trial of Disney Ploose so I’m going to check out The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and any movies that catch my eye. I’ll watch WandaVision if I can fit it in. I watched 2 episodes of What If…? and I don’t find it too compelling, so I’ll skip the rest.
HBO Max has a 50% off deal this week, so I’ll grab a sub for that as there are a ton of shows that are running now or coming up that I want to watch. First up is finishing Season 3 of Titans, then the new season of Doom Patrol starts, followed by the new season of Succession.
On Netflix, I just finished watching the new season of Kid Cosmic, which was awesome. Love the art style and the music rules. A great story arc for Jo and the set up for the next season opens up the show a lot. They’ve done a lot in only 18 episodes.
I also have my toes in The Punisher (never watched the last season for some reason), the Cocaine Cowboys limited series, New Cherry Flavor, The Outer Banks, and I think the next movie I will watch will be Kate. Season 3 of Sex Education just came out so I’ll be on that soon.
On the non-streaming tip, Season 3 of Miracle Workers just ended and it was fantastic, no big surprise there. This season’s theme was the Oregon Trail and they managed to get a lot out of it. Dan Radcliffe commits to every role he does and he did some wild stuff for this season.
Animal Kingdom on TNT is getting close to the end of the season and I’m liking it a lot. It’s quite a bit different without Smurf controlling everything and this week’s episode (10 iirc) had one of the biggest payoffs of the season. The flashbacks with Smurf and Andrew are filling in background detail (essentially the start of how Andy becomes Pope) and in the present day, the boys are starting to gel at the most important time. Feels satisfying and the problems they are facing keep escalating in good ways.
What We Do In The Shadows (FX) is the funniest show on TV right now, by far. This show makes me scream in delight it’s so crazy. This week they went to Atlantic City and the whole thing is insane. I didn’t see the end coming at all, the writers take this show to crazy extremes, I love it.
I’m catching up on the final season of Brooklyn 99. I had no idea it had started and I discovered it with like 2 episodes to go. I’m halfway through and like it a lot. They gave Doug Judy a legit send-off which was a nice surprise. He’s Jake’s greatest foil so it was fun to watch their last spin together play out.
I’m still watching The Walking Dead for some reason. The last season was so disjointed because of the pandemic so it’s hard to remember anything that’s happened. I have very little investment in the remaining characters. Maggie, Daryl, and Negan being the only ones I’m really interested in. Aside from Gene, I don’t think I remember anyone else’s name.
