Anything you view or consume media wise is fair game
For All Mankind, The Buccaneers, starting Monarch King of Monsters tomorrow night! That will be fun I think.
Love FaM, Buccaneers is okay-good so far if you’re not worried about realism in costumes, etc.
Monarch. And so far it’s a disapointment for me. It’s not bad per se, but to me it commits the same mistake as the vast majority of kaiju media produced in the West: human drama that doesn’t build up or complement the kaiju threat.
There’s no tension, no sense that those creatures are an existential to humanity. It’s mostly treated as a classic monster showcase, and that sucks :c
I know things deviate from their intent over time, but the idea of representing the dread of nuclear annihilation through a monster that could come out from anywhere is so compelling on its own, that I don’t know why it’s completely abandonned in western media about kaiju.
However, I wouldn’t be making this comment if the human drama was top tier I think. As it stands it’s serviceable. Not bad, but nothing great either. It’s kind of bland honestly.
Infuse app ;)
That’s a where, not a what…
For all mankind. Might make a start on lessons in chemistry too.
I really enjoyed Lesson in Chemistry.
Finished Morning Show And watching Lessons in Chemistry- both very good dramas
For all mankind season 4
This and Silo are the only shows that I watch weekly because I couldn’t wait to see what happens next. For the rest I just wait until the season concludes and binge all.
If you watch the extra news videos for the years, 2001’s one mentions that Russia is running out of lithium that’s used to make the battery tech our cars rely on (in this reality that is post-fossil fuel). It goes on to mention that Politburo member Fyodor Korzhenko (played by actor Dimitar Bakalov in the news briefs, who formerly played a doctor in the movie “The Hitman’s Bodyguard”) rebuked Gorbachev’s open market policies and accused the upper classes in the USSR of cozying up to capitalists in the West. He insisted Gorbachev “rein in these new entrepreneurs or face dire consequences”… it then mentions that should there be an economic downturn as Russia runs out of lithium and iridium, it still has large crude oil reserves.
Without giving away anything that happened in this episode, I think what we’re about to see is this reality’s version of the 1993 Russian constitutional crisis. No Yeltsin, no more Gorbachev. My bet is that Fyodor Korzhenko becomes the new head in the Kremlin.
Just finished Blackbird, what a good show.
exceptional
Really great show.
I enjoyed it too
Proudly finishing Foundation season 2.
What’s this show like? I’ve been incredibly interested. Is it a slow burn?
saved the season 1 finale and season 2 for this winter
For All Mankind season 4 baby!
Also Goosebumps on D+ and Julia season 2 premieres tonight on HBO (or is it just Max now? Idk)
Slow Horses, Trying, Severence, Shrinking
Absolutely loved Severance. Adam Scott is great in this.
Highly recommended thriller, I can’t wait for Season 2.
Well being new to Apple TV and + I’m finally watching Ted Lasso. Season one was great. Two… eh ok. Season Three…. I’ll just say at this point I feel committed and am going to finish it and hope it gets better.
The middle child and I are doing a Mando rewatch is season 2 (his suggestion)
Season 3 was a little bloated but there are still great episodes. Towards the end of the season the Amsterdam episode stands out.
The Amsterdam episode for me was the best episode of the series. Just great pacing and fun to watch. The whole series as a whole is a joy to watch despite a couple of episodes that were a little disjointed.
But top shelf quality comedy with Ted Lasso.
Watched that one last night. Have to say yeah, it was pretty good.

Moving pictures
For All Mankind. I had a hard time getting into the show just because you have to believe in an alternate reality but it got better the second season and beyond.
That movie Fingernails was probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever watched on TV. I can’t believe Apple would pay money to make that movie.
Watching the Subscription Price go up!
Yah … seriously thinking about downgrading the family plan to just icloud+ and Music which are really the only two services we use, so I can’t justify the 50$ price tag in Canada for the “Premier” tier.
