Watchlist, late spring edition

 Since the end of March (that's really not that long and I haven't accomplished all that much, tbh):

  • Russian Doll S2 - Not as mind-blowing as the first season, which was so unexpected and original, but still vastly superior to most of what's out there.  Adore Natasha Lyonne.
  • Moon Knight - Liked it, wanted to love it but didn't.  Kind of dark and gloomy.  Oscar Isaac's English accent was distracting and I wanted much more of Layla, Egyptian Superhero.
  • Eternals - Meh.  Felt like a missed opportunity.  Cast too big to get to know, CGI distracting.
  • Happy Endings - Finished it.  Seems like it went out with a whimper, rather than a bang.
  • Sweet Tooth - Really quite liked this one, having gone into it with no expectations or knowledge of the source material.  Hope it gets a second season because the ending just seemed abrupt.
Currently: almost done with The Mandalorian and am into S3 of Sex Education.  Looking forward very much to S3 of Umbrella Academy (I just rewatched S2 in anticipation) and She Hulk, Attorney at Law.
