For some reason I had it in my head that the 2nd season of Severance was already in the can and, presumably, could be rolled out whenever Apple needs some new programming amid the strikes. Turns out I was wrong on that, filming was nearly complete but not quite done when the actors (understandably) walked out in support of the writers and now of course they're on strike too.
Anyway, glad there's solidarity etc and hopefully everyone holds out for a good deal. But damn, I miss this show a lot. Given the strikes have no real end in sight I guess it'll have to wait til 2024. Might be time for a rewatch. |

If Hollywood dies because execs can’t let go of their greed, let it die. It would suck but fuckem.

On the recommendation of Newstead, I've watched Andor.
I quite enjoyed it, and I look forward to a second season (presumably there will be at least another season). The series was definitely an improvement on the shitshow that was Boba Fett. |

Tonight's episode of Always Sunny in Philly did Black Mirror better than this season of Black Mirror did....

Finished watching the first season of Sanctuary.
The one based on Japanese sumo and not the UK murder mystery one. |

So my MIL is very....... unaware at times.
She knew my wife and I started 1883 and she liked what she saw. So she watched the entire season, knowing we hadn't, and comes in and fucking SPOILS EVERYTHING from the last 3 episodes. Wonderful. I will now begin spoiling everything wrestling related for the forseeable future. She is still very much into kayfabe. |

1883 is glorious and your MIL should receive a stunner, a last ride and a final finisher of your choice.
1923 is pretty good as well. I don't think it reaches the heights of the other show, but it is worth watching for the countess lady. |

Following Andor, I decided to watch season 3 of The Mandalorian. It was as watchable as ever, but by the end I didn't really see the need for the season to exist.
I've watched the first two episodes of the final season of Jack Ryan, and also the first two episodes of season 1 Vice Principals. The latter I'm enjoying a lot; Danny McBride and Walton Goggins are fantastic in their respective roles. Goggins is essentially playing a camper version of his Boyd Crowder character. |

Mando really fell apart in season 3. You could tell Favs clashed with the execs and shat out some scripts. Like you implied, still entertaining but entirely vapid and without a hint of the soul which made it so special.

The Bear is great. Funny but real and makes anxiety inducement an art form.

Watched the first episode of the new Futurama. Professor's voice seems a "bit off".... maybe "tougher" for Billy West to do the voice now or something....

Finished season 3 of The Witcher. They pretty much sidelined Geralt in those final 3 episodes; Cavill must of enjoyed that send-off.
I've rewatching season 1 of Foundation at the moment. I really like this series and I look forward to watching season 2 once all the episodes are available. I still need to finish the final season of Jack Ryan, but Foundation has been occupying my viewing as of late. I also need to continue with Vice Principals as well. |

Twisted Metal.
Currently about half-way into the first season and its been pretty enjoyable so far in a campy way. The trailers for the series made it feel like it was just going to join the pile of failed video game adaptions but it turned out to be a lot better or watchable instead. |

I'm ten years behind the times, but I've finished the first season of Peaky Blinders. That is some grand stuff; Cillian Murphy is great. I'm going to start season 2 at the weekend.
I've also finished the second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. It hasn't particularly interested me, especially the more preachy SJW-esque episodes, and I skipped the musical episode altogether; musical episodes were old 20 years ago, find something original to do. I might finally join the Succession bandwagon, whilst I wait for all the season two Foundation episodes to appear; I'm not really decided yet. |

Over the past two days I've watched the six-episode series, We Own This City, which is by The Wire's David Simon, and looks at the real-life police corruption of Baltimore's Gun Trace Task Force.
It's not up at The Wire's level, mainly because it is at times a bit too preachy, opting more often than not to tell rather than show. However, the programme does a great job, in the same way as the aforementioned series, in highlighting how fucked Baltimore is as city and how it is let down by both those in power and those with authority. Jon Bernthal also gives a great central performance. |

Decided to randomly watch "American Born Chinese" on Disney+
Based on a graphic novel that I have never read but is by a writer I've come to really like. Was only gonna watch one episode while I ate supper but ended up watching 5 (out of 8) episodes. Really enjoying it, will most likely finish it tomorrow. |

Finished the season of American Born Chinese. Really enjoyed it, hope it gets picked up for a season 2.
Debating whether or not to actually read the graphic novel now or not... dunno how much of it season 1 covered... or if it covered it all and a potential season 2 would be taking it into original story.... |
