We're gearing up for the Thirteenth Annual FMS Scarelicious October Movie Series so I guess I should do an update on the general watchiness around here.
- Umbrella Academy 3 - Gosh, I just love this show. Super entertaining, dark-ish but not too dark, how can you not love bickering pseudohero siblings?
- Stranger Things 4 - What can you say about this juggernaut? I didn't love how everyone was separated for the most part, and the ending seemed rushed, but again, super entertaining. And Kate Bush getting the global love she always should have had.
- The Mandalorian - Love the theme music, love Pedro Pascal, love baby Yoda. Not over the moon with this series but a very strong entry into the Star Wars universe.
- Sex Education - Binged however many seasons are currently on Netflix (three, I think). Really liked this one, thought the cast was charming and well-put together.
- Ms. Marvel - Talk about a charming and well-put together cast! I binged through this one quickly and thought it was great fun. Love how colorful and young it was; enjoyed and learned a lot from the peeks into Pakistani culture. Great show.
- So You Think You Can Dance - This competition show is back after a couple years away, "updated" for a younger audience which means that one of the judges is now Jojo Siwa (whoever the hell she is). I really like watching the dances but the show was shortened and so it seemed like there was much less actual performance than in seasons past. The judges were annoying (other than tWitch) and almost never gave any actual criticism / placing too much importance on "feeling the character." Yeah, but you also got to point your damn toes.
- Sandman - I love the comics (and need to reread them) and thought this live action version was damn good. Looked expensive, though, and I'm hearing rumors that Netflix won't sign on for a second season. That would be a shame because there's still so many stories to be told there.
Mr. Mouse and I are also up to speed on all the Better Call Saul on Netflix; we're ready to dive into S2 of Only Murders in the Building, S2 of Reservation Dogs and S5 of Cobra Kai.
Also, I got a new laptop with a different touchpad and am on a learning curve with it - so no links to shows right now. Y'all know how to google things, don't you?
Next up: the first scary movie of spooky season. (I hate myself for using "spooky season.")
