I’ve been binging Final Space. I’m about halfway into the final season. The first time I watched it, there were only maybe 4 episodes out. Then I forgot about it. Now the series is finished at 3 seasons, so I’m getting back into it.

My wife is currently reliving her childhood by binging the old black-and-white Zorro TV series. When she was a kid, reruns used to air in her small, middle-of-nowhere country town, so she became a huge fan.

Together, we’ve been binging Futurama. I watched the original Fox series and the films, but never got back into it when it was revived, first by Comedy Central and then by Hulu. So now I’m trying to catch up. My wife had never seen it before, so she’s enjoying it for the first time now.

We have a whole queue of TV shows we’re trying to work through, but I think those are the only three we’ve touched this week.

Rome, the HBO show. Also my making our way through Silo season 1; my son hasn’t seen it. We will watch S2 together. We finished up S1 of Severance last week. My daughter came home for the holiday so we all watched one of the Harry Potter movies yesterday.

finished the 3rd season of Loudermilk and i was disappointed by the stupid plot twists. I should have stopped when one of the anonymous alcoholics killed the thuggish bookmaker.

not this week but I recently watched the terror which is currently free on plex and I recommend it. its to bad as it seemed to have only gone one season and I think its stick was to revolve around a horror story revolving around different historical mysteries. sorta a more grounded american horror stories. it looks like it was a bbc thing.

The new Ken Burns doco “Leonardo da Vinci” was good. Finished S2 of “Based on a true story”. Up to date on Silo and Shrinking. Just finished episode 3 of Jackal.

Dan Da Dan, Taskmaster, X-Files, and partner has been watching TNG and West Wing.

• New season of holiday baking championship. Show doesn’t do anything for me, I only watch it because my girlfriend likes watching it while we eat dinner.
• One (1) episode of schitt’s creek. We started the show a couple months ago and have only just now made it to season 2.
• A couple episodes of the penguin. It’s decent but not omg greatest show ever. We are up through episode 6, I think.
• part of the macy’s thanksgiving parade. Wasn’t my choice, I haven’t enjoyed watching the show for 20+ years.
• the three episodes of the south park game of thrones/black friday trilogy. Very fucking hilarious.

This week I watched Agatha all along and Fallout.

They were okay.

Agatha had some things going well for it but it just wasn’t very gripping and for Fallout the whole time I feel like they were trying to recreate the experience of the game in TV format rather than focusing on the story.

I don’t regret watching them but I also do not feel entirely gripped.

In Fallout it was because the focus on showing the game elements felt like they were breaking the fourth wall every 10 minutes or so and not in a humorous or comedic way, and in order to do that they had to make the characters in the story not act in their own best interest.

Basically, every main character was foolhardy and completely clueless, everybody acted without self-awareness. It was a story of fools where everything just magically worked out.

Agatha all along definitely had more of a character driven storyline but the way the story was told was very disjointed.

You could really tell compared to other marvel platform media that it was not inspired by a comic book that had a story already fleshed out, so it didn’t feel complete or have a really satisfying story arc. Things are left unexplained in a way that would normally be capable of being backfilled by comic book story lines but this was an entirely new invention and since they never filled in the comic book gaps you’re left not knowing things that might have been prurient or provided depth to the story.
