Here’s what I watched in November, December, and January.
In February, I watched:
True Detective s4 – imo, it leaned a bit too hard into misandry (almost all male characters were evil or useless, with the sole and bright exception of Officer Prior) at the expense of more rounded characters and I lost interest about 3 episodes in, but still finished it while mostly playing with my phone. The Iceland and Alaska sets were probably 2/3 of why I stuck
Fargo s5 – finished; like True Detective it also had a strong female protagonist and evil + bumbling male antagonist, but the characters were more balanced in portrayal and the show was better written and better acted
Peter Jackson’s Beatles Documentary: Get Back – watched half of part 1; astounds my modern mind how relatively humble and unassuming the Beatles were, despite being the celebrity equivalent of boy band Jesus; perhaps it’s their British manners, perhaps it’s the pre-internet pre-social media era, but hard to imagine a current A-list celeb exhibiting anywhere near that kind of soft spoken, mild mannered, entourage-less persona (Keanu Reeves…?); also fascinating to watch genius-level creativity in action, with its focus on execution & experimentation — just keep grinding, keep trying, and keep what works, discard what doesn’t, trust your collective guts
