TV

TV shows I completed watching or gave up on with brief reviews and ratings.

2022

• Arcane (2021), Season 1
  • A bit slow to start, but picks up after a few episodes. Some of the magic was hard to understand the but the animation was fantastic. 7 out of 10.
• Hit-Monkey (2021), Season 1
  • Fantastic storytelling, animation and music. If you liked Harley Quinn (2019), you'll enjoy this too. 9 out of 10.
• The Sex Lives of College Girls (2021), Season 1
  • Hooks you in pretty quickly with short episodes and a quickly developing plot, though a bit predictable at times. 8 out of 10.
• Peacemaker (2022), Season 1
  • A really fun anti-anti hero story that constantly has you laughing and empathizing with characters. 8 out of 10.
• Space Force (2020), Season 2
  • Absurd characters that act out even more absurd plots. Good for background/distracted watching. 6 out of 10.
• How I Met Your Father (2022), Season 1
  • Not anywhere close to the original, but towards the end it was starting to get better and funnier. 6 out of 10.
• The Boys Presents: Diabolical (2022), Season 1
  • Creative and engaging miniseries that really leaves you wanting more after each episode. Constantly switching animation styles really gave each episode its own feel. 9 out of 10.
• Bridgerton (2020), Season 2
  • Even better than season 1, with more in-depth characters and higher-stakes drama. Perfect for a binge-watching weekend, you really can't stop once it gets started. 8 out of 10.
• Cobra Kai (2018), Season 1
  • Great mix of nostalgia combined with new content. Episodes are short and engaging enough that you could binge it in a single day (oops). 9 out of 10.
• Cobra Kai (2018), Season 2
  • See above, the second season is more of the same, and mostly is able to keep the same exciting pace without feeling repetitive. 8 out of 10.
• Cobra Kai (2018), Season 3
  • The violence is uh, starting to get a bit out of control, but overall still great characters and storytelling. 7 out of 10
• Cobra Kai (2018), Season 4
  • After a while the constant antics between the same characters over and over get boring, but after flailing a bit in the middle, the story really returned to its strengths by focusing on the karate for the finale. 7 out of 10.
• Moon Knight (2022), Season 1
  • Slow start, but once it picked up, it really picked up. The use of Egyptian mythology was a real nice change of pace for the MCU. 8 out of 10.
• Man in the Arena: Tom Brady (2021), Season 1
  • A nice look back at Brady's 10 Super Bowl appearances, with cool details and interviews from those who were there. Pure fan service really. 8 out of 10.
• Magnum P.I. (2018), Season 4
  • Pure copaganda but with beautiful sights and views. Disappointed how they wrecked Higgins's character by making it all about the love interest. 3 out of 10.
• Star Trek: Picard (2020), Season 2
  • I'm not a trekkie, but honestly, I just didn't really understand this season. It feels like half of the story in the middle was entirely useless and the conclusion felt like a big letdown on how simple it was. 4 out of 10.
