Only Murders In The Building

I’ve watched episode 1 and it matches up well to watch at the same time as others if anyone is interested. Especially if you’re interested in crime investigations or mystery or related podcasts or YouTube shows that are popular these days.

Lighthearted even Whimsical a bit

Didn’t expect to like it but it’s okay hopefully continues to get better.

I couldn’t get into it for some reason. Was just too goofy maybe.

I’m a few seasons behind on Rick and Morty, but I thought it was brilliant

I hope this isn’t true, for her sake as well as his.

Still on season 7. Has been almost hit, and miss. Some good episodes but none great. One written and directed by Gillian Anderson, cool

Episode 18, Brand X, struck me with the performances of two guest actors. Dennis Boutsikaris would later rejoin Vince Gilligan on Better Call Saul, and Tobin Bell who many of us will recognize from Saw even though he’s had small parts in lots of great movies. The plot and writing weren’t great, but these two carried the weight

Next one is written and directed by David Duchovny. First scene shows Gary Shandling playing the role of Muller in a Hollywood movie. Should be meta, and a laugh

I started the first episode of the japanese show Gannibal. Seems intriguing from the first episode

Finished the first 3 episodes of The Last of Us (HBO).

Episode 1 = perfect
Episode 2 = great
Episode 3 = surprisingly great for being a complete side story

3 for 3 so far. Enjoying it a ton.

Can’t binge it though. Episodes release one every Monday, Taiwan time.

Finally got through season 8. Definitly the earlier seasons were better. In the end i had to just let it play and wander off into other rooms. Heavy on the UFO mythology, but some cute moments with Mulder and Scully and the series finale the fans wanted.

But then, it wasn’t the finale. Just put on the second movie

Oops, sesson 9 then the movie. Something was definitely skipped over!

The Last of Us has done the impossible by breathing life back into the zombie porn genre.

I know where this epic tragedy is headed and I can’t take my eyes off the screen. Even in those gut wrenching final minutes of the episode.

Them producers are making it a habit of kicking us in the gut. And yet, there is worse to come…

…and yet, the viewership keeps in increasing. Are we gluttons for punishment, do we have some perverse pleasure in blood and pain and death or are we engaging in the love theme of the series? I dunno.

Star Trek Picard

Watched first two episodes of season 1.

Dull and boring, they’re trying to pack 4 minutes of something interesting into 45 minutes.

Season 1 starts off just OK and gets worse.

Season 2 starts off really well and then utterly collapses.

Season 3 has just started and the first episode is … alright. This time, the old cast is back together, so that’s promising. In the first five minutes, Gates McFadden had more to do than she did in entire seasons of the old series. They’ve written it so you do not at all need to have seen the first two seasons - most of that new cast is gone.

If you’re looking for a Star Trek fix and have limited time, Lower Decks and Strange New World are far more enjoyable. Picard only - and barely - has value for those, like myself, with possibly debilitating nostalgia for Next Generation.

Talking about Star Trek, rumors of a Next Generation reboot are wild:

I ain’t watching The Witcher without Cavill but Cavill would make me watch TNG as much as I dislike it.

The Consultant

With Christoph Waltz.

Coming out soon. Seems like a waste of a great talent.

He was on Bill Maher, he sounded pretty psyched about it.
