Physical 100 S2 — super motivating and inspirational; can’t wait for S3 though I really hope they can add some exercises or rules that give at least *a small edge* to women, otherwise the women just consistently lose or hinder the teams in almost every competition (from the first curved treadmill race to the pullups to the pvp wrestling to the miner sack carry I could go on)
Parasyte live action mini series on Netflix — much better than I expected; they managed to make the parasites not look corny, and keep the story tight and engaging, which is an impressive achievement after the consistent failures of live action conversions like Death Note, One Piece, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop…
The lead protagonist (Jeon So-nee) was great; the pacing was fast and intense; the show didn’t drag on, they did 6 great episodes and noped out
Shogun S1 — finished; ended on a high note although I can’t for the life of me really understand wtf is going on with Blackthorne or why he’s in the story at all besides blah blah cannons blah blah ship blah blah anjin-sama
Fallout S1 — a few episodes, but none of the characters resonated (except maybe Norm in moments), and the intentionally corny cliched writing didn’t land for me; it got increasingly awkward, like watching a standup comedian continually bomb
