Pluribus: Recommend with the caveat that it’s slooooow going. Has an interesting sci-fi premise that it’s stretching out. I am unconvinced there will be a satisfactory conclusion at the end of this season. So far though it’s the best weekly sci-fi on right now. (Take that as you will.) But it really is bloody slow.

House of Ashur: So far would not recommend. Lacks the passionate acting Andy Whitfield brought to the first season (RIP). And lacks the charisma Dustin Clare brought to the prequel series. Still watching though, but we’ll see…

Stranger Things S5 Part 1: It is what it is. That said, the last episode of this part upped the pacing and I found it to be entertaining watching and would recommend based solely off this episode.

Starting The Mighty Nein. Critical Role stuff generally lacks a certain complexity I prefer, being adaptations of tabletop. But it’s sometimes a fun ride. Vox Machina fell headfirst into that description for me and I still haven’t finished it. It’s more an emotional joyride of fantasy than it is a real story with arcs, plot, and most importantly (for me again), foreshadowing. But we’ll see how this one runs. I am a sucker for epic or low fantasy.

Looking forward to Fallout S2.

PS: Not a series, but I watched Frankenstein with Oscar Isaac and while it’s not going to change the world I enjoyed it for what it was worth and would recommend. I am biased towards Isaac’s acting though.

PLURIBUS

The chair company.

Smiling Friends, Chair Company, Pluribus, Welcome to Derry and sorta in the background started Solo Leveling

The manipulated. Ok but reminds me of death race 2000 in at least the first half of the season.

The Mighty Nein

Watched the two seasons of house of dragon. Initially was sorta meh to me, but it grew on me. I liked it but I think its a good example of how I feel expectations are more blunted now. Things I see high praises with tons of enthusiasm I find to be good but not like hey this is awesome good. Then I feel things people think are good just end up being not done poorly and so on. everything seems one level worse than what I see with peoples opinions on the stuff.
