- Batwoman which I rather like, just like I like the other Arrowverse shows (Legends of Tomorrow is my favorite, I think). Like the others, Batwoman will have some growing pains but even the first season is improving as it goes.
- Crisis on Infinite Earths - since I was doing Batwoman, I figured I'd watch the Crisis episodes too, even though I haven't kept up with any of those shows besides Legends. I'm a little in the dark as to Arrow - adult daughter from the future? - but I think I've figured everything else out.
- At the repeated urging of a high school friend, I've started Lucifer. My friend says it has supplanted Buffy as his favorite show (!!!) so I'm giving it a go. Tom Ellis is certainly charming, and I think it's getting better as it goes along, but I'm not 100% sold yet.
- I'm catching up on Legion episodes on Hulu too. I never half know what's going on at any given time but it sure is pretty to look at.
- With this Hulu subscription, I've watched the first two Castle Rock seasons. These are mixed, with some parts being very strong and others just ... meh. I think S2 was better than S1, in large part because Lizzy Caplan (as Annie Wilkes pre-Misery) is SO AWESOME. I also appreciate the fact that no one really tries to do a Maine accent (Tim Robbins skirts along the edge but never commits, thankfully) because I just don't think anyone who isn't a Mainer can do it.
- I've just started The Witcher, knowing nothing about the books or the games going in. Reviews say that this show definitely gets better as it goes along, which is good because E1 was borderline incomprehensible. I'm not sure I'm ever going to accept that godawful wig Henry Cavill wears, though.
- Finally, I watched The Shape of Water. I'm a huge Guillermo del Toro fan but ... this movie won an Oscar for Best Picture? Really? Where was the plot (aside from being Beauty and the Beast)? Pan's Labyrinth is a way, way, way better movie on all fronts.
