I think I'm giving up on Midnight Mass. It's alright. Decent enough atmosphere if a bit one dimensional. I thought I'd reached the finale but it's still going. I think it needs a harder edit maybe. It is amusing to as Elliot from ET as a grown up though. Dunno... pure grand. I think I always want to like horror more than I often do.


Worth finishing, as it's a one off series, IMO.
But Yeah! There's no major payoff, as such.

The suspense and atmosphere was completely dragged out and I nearly gave up myself, but from the end of ep7, I think, it got really good.

Binged all 3 seasons of The Boys in the past month. Really enjoyed it even if I'm suffering from watching too much comic book shite. Only gripe is the ending to the last season, didn't leave me excited to watch more.

Rewatching The Simpsons from the beginning when I can and enjoying the earlier episodes a lot more. Nearly wrapped up on Season 2.

Started watching The Looming Tower. Pretty good. If you liked Jeff Daniels in The Comey Rule then you should get on this.

Watching Sick Note. Funny stuff. Rupert Grint is great.

Watched Severence. I dunno how I feel about it. Looks amazing and great cast but hated the cliffhanger ending to the season.

It's got great reviews but there's something about it that makes me feel I wouldn't enjoy it.

Finished Better Call Saul. Perfect ending. On paper you'd think that Breaking Bad would be a far more enjoyable show but the writing on BCS is just top notch. I guess it's always been more of a character study than anything else so even when not much is actually happening it's never not interesting.

Watched the first ep of Station Eleven. Postapocalyse yoke. Very early days of COVID buzz off it. Curious to see where it goes.

Station Eleven is a strange one.
Felt like throwing in the towel a few times.

Finished watching The bear, good watch. Could watch a whole series made up of just the food prep shots. Great acting and characters, well written and believable. Must watch for anyone into food. Fresh off finishing Anthony bourdains first book too added to it

Three episodes into Sandman.
It's OK. Not very familiar with the comics, so can just take the show for what it is.

I am familiar with a certain gender swapped character, which I find quite annoying.
Not the type of character that needs or should be gender swapped, IMO.
I mean... isn't he already in another series at the moment? And isn't there talk of a movie reboot? And even a movie sequel?

But on the other hand... The Lucifer gender swap doesn't bother me at all.
Even though he had his own show for the last few years also.
Completely different interpretations, though.
Go figure!   :P

Lashing theough The Rehearsal now. Love the awkwardness of it, and a nice counterpart to the aforementioned Review.

Eh, what the hell happened in ep2. Like a totally different show.

Yup!

Like I said. It's a strange one.

Not read the comics, but my wife had it on. Just looked like lots of emo teen angst waffle. Nothing was happening.  Accurate?

Sandman?Not at all. Watch the diner episode. And you're old enough to know the difference between an emo and a goth surely?  ;)
