Feel free to have a look at
My wife and I have been trying to watch Rings of Power after the kids go to sleep. But we haven’t gotten too far yet.
Working my way through For All Mankind again. What a superb piece of TV that is. Magnificent. Also Slow Horses and lay night we started Bad Monkey. That’s pretty good as well.
Got to give Apple credit, they do make some good stuff. The quality and attention to detail is superb, even if the show is naff. I was very excited to hear they were making Foundation, and the quality was outstanding. Never finished the first series, it was like watching paint dry. Likewise Silo. Dark Matter? I didn’t even make it to the end of the first episode.
I watched a documentary about swapped twins in Colombia The Accidental Twins.
2 sets of identical twins born in 1988, one pair in rural La Paz and one pair in Bogota. One of the La Paz babies wasn’t well and was sent to a hospital in the capital, where the mistake happened.
They grow up as fraternal twins, because they are not very much alike. 20+ years later they somehow run into each other through friends.
Imagine someone tells you “Hey, I met this guy who looks exactly like you” and you check out this guys social media and there are pictures of the guy, looking like you with another guy that looks exactly like your twin brother.Seriously, such a wild story. Super interesting and heartbreaking at times.
Anime! The
wintersummer season just ended, and alongside it a few series that I was following:- Nier: Automata 1.1 - surprisingly good for something based on a game.
- QA in Another World - it feels unfinished because it is. The manga goes further. I enjoyed the overall cheekiness, specially in comparison with Log Horizon (another good game isekai, but a bit too serious).
- Dungeon no Naka no Hito - I picked this series on a whim. It’s… okay I guess?
- TenSura s3 - hey, s4 was already announced! It was good, but s1 was better.
- Failure Frame skill - another series that feels unfinished because the manga goes on. I hope that it gets a sequel.
- No Longer Allowed in Another World - ditto. Except that this one NEEDS
more Calmotin pillsto get a sequel. - Shinmai Ossan Boukensha - eh. It was crap but I still watched it.
- Ookami to Koushinryou: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf - it’s a remake/update of a great series, so I already knew the story. It was still 100% worth watching it.
I also picked Mayonaka Punch to binge watch. I skipped this series because “meh, it talks about youtubers”, but I was bored and I wanted to watch something and the above ended and… wait, it’s actually fun? Main character is a piece of shit, but she’s a rather entertaining one!
On season 5 of Grimm. We’ve been pretty dedicated, trying to watch two episodes per day, and I’m kinda ready for it to be done.
Started watching beserk greed of gluttony
In tried to watch Twisters (2024), but turned it off after 40 mins. That movie was not good and I don’t know why it got the attention it did this year.
