Shows / movies that I dropped halfway:

  • Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves
    • somehow it didn't grab me, dropped it halfway thru. Many people said it's good, but the jokes are okay, nothing interesting
  • Onihei S01
    • Somehow it just doesn't manage to grab me, dropped it after second episode, especially when I read that there's not really an ending by the end of the show.

I've finished watching

  • Record of Ragnarok S01
    • really loving the over-the-top fights between gods and humans. I'm excited for the next season
  • Fringe S05
    • Man, Fringe is now probably my most favorite show. S05 might not hit as hard as S03 or S04, but it ties up everything nicely. The show wouldn't leave such a lasting impression on me if not for the character Walter Bishop, and of course John Noble did a great job portraying him
  • Killing It S02
    • It's not as good as the first season. They focused too much on side characters that are not funny at all.
  • The X-Files S02
    • X-Files gets really good on season two. The stories involving Mulder's family is really intriguing. I'm excited to watch the next season now.
  • Look Around You S01
    • I've watched bits and pieces of this on YouTube. OMG, the whole season is just amazing. Every single detail is fucking hilarious.

Started / still watching

  • The Simpsons S04
    • This season definitely feels better than previous ones. There's absurd humor that hits hard, e.g. rent a big brother, etc.
  • Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still S01
    • Dunno how I feel about it yet. It feels too old-ish, and each episode lasts for an hour. If it doesn't pick up, I might drop it.
  • Snuff Box S01
    • So far, this is another good Matt Berry show. The humor is closer to Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, and probably better than first season of Toast of London
  • The Outer Limits (1995) S01
    • I've only watched the first episode, I guess it sets the tone of sci-fi twilight zone, but with bummer ending. Also the first episode is like 90 mins, bit too long
  • Person of Interest S01
    • I've just watched 2 episodes, and I know that this is going to be good. I am having a crime drama fatigue, but POI is different.

So, what have you been watching last week?

If you enjoyed On the Basis of Sex you should check out RBG, the 2018 documentary about Ginsburg. Ginsburg also appears as a character in a couple of episodes of the fifth season of The Good Fight, played wonderfully by Elaine May.

I think I preferred the early Wes Anderson, before he went full Anderson. Check out Rushmore and (what I think is his best movie) The Royal Tenenbaums.

Thanks! I'll add all of these to my lists! I'm years behind on movies so I'm trying to catch up. Not sure how I feel about Anderson, but it was definitely a different style that I need to try more
