@QualityGeezer no mate I’ve never watched SoA, I hear it’s great but the 7(?) season commitment scares me a bit in term of investment! Although I did just do 6 seasons of Justified, which I enjoyed. Might give Sons a spin when I’m done with 1899 👍
I recently watched series 3 of Final Space on Netflix and was pretty underwhelmed.
It feels like ages since I watched the second series so it felt a bit disjointed from the get go. But the whole thing felt a bit all over the place and has moved a long way from the silliness of the original series.
Even more frustrating for it to end on a cliffhanger and then find out that there won’t be a fourth series

It's honestly my favorite streaming service right now, the movie library alone puts Netflix to shame, kind of reminds me of like 2011-2014 era Netflix.

Reality shows are not going to ruin the quality scripted content on the service, at least not any time soon. I mainly subscribe for the movies and HBO shows neither of which are currently going anywhere. All the streaming services have a lot of reality crap on it so that's nothing new.

Finished watching season 3 of Doom Patrol. Honestly, the show is getting better and better. But dear lord, there is so much character development that I wouldn't blame anyone for dropping the show early on. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to focus so much on character development in a comical superhero show. At least season 3 had a more interesting and hilarious plot with less character development compared to the previous seasons. And for the first time, I'm actually looking forward to the next season lol.

Considering how polarizing the games and other media of the whole Sonic Boom retooling was (or whatever the hell you call what it was), I imagine a lot of Sonic fans didn't even give the show a chance despite it being surprisingly good.

I'm sure if Sonic Boom was classic 2D, it would have drawn in alot more viewers.
I still need to finish watching the series myself, stopped after Season 1 ages ago. I own the blu-rays but just haven't gotten around to watching them yet. Same thing goes for Sonic X.
Just finished watching season 1 of House of the Dragon. What an absolutely insane ending! The season in general was really good. I thought though it felt a bit strange with the show having so many time skips, not to mention switching out actors due to the characters aging. I really liked the young versions of the characters, so it was a bit disheartening that they got rid of those actors. Hopefully they'll dial it down for the next season. The whole point is that you become attached to the characters, which also includes the actors.
But yeah, it's so nice to be watching Game of Thrones again. It's truly one of the best franchises ever created. Game of Thrones is back baby!
I forgot to mention but I've finally finished all the City Hunter TV anime series awhile ago.
City Hunter - It's a longer series (over 50 episodes) & gets pretty formulaic (it doesn't have a large extended cast, so how much mileage you'll get from it depends on how well you gel with it's central comedy loop between Ryo & Kaori, which consists of him being an unrepentant perv, before ultimately succumbing to her hammer. Not to mention that many of his antics could be considered "problematic" by today's standards), but it's also just a really fun show, totally 80's (I love the neon infused aesthetic), and a narratively relevant episode popped up just often enough to keep it interesting. Also tons of random M&M's product placement for some reason (it got to the point where I was actively looking out for where the logo would appear in any given episode, lol).
City Hunter 2 - Even longer than the first series (over 60 episodes), everything that can be said about that one applies to this as well (although the M&M's product placement drops off somewhere early on). Don't see why it's marked as a sequel though, as it's clearly a directly continued production of the first series (what I mean is, the last episode of the first series had a preview of this series' first episode as the next episode, so there was clearly no break in production between the two), with the art style, budget, and everything else being identical between the two.
City Hunter 3 - Now this was a bit of a change in direction for the series. It was much shorter (only 13 episodes), however the animation quality seemed a bit higher across the board. Unfortunately I didn't care for it as much. They gave everyone more "realistic" hair colors (Kaori went from red to brown, Saeko from blue to black) which could be more manga accurate for all I know, but I was used to the old colors by this point, that and the neon infused color palette of the first two series was replaced with a much more drab autumnal look (seemed to have a lot of browns, tans, oranges, & creams) & even the humour seemed a bit more muted (or at least not as stand out, even if there was a good episode here & there).
City Hunter '91 - the final series, it too took on the form of a 13 episode series with better than average animation than the first two series, and this one I though was much stronger in the other areas compared to 3 as well. It's once again much more colorful (albeit in a pastel 90's kinda way instead of 80's neon), which includes fixing everyone's hair colors, the humor seems back on track, and although it ultimately doesn't offer a narrative conclusion it has some darn good episodes (especially the duel between Ryo & Umibozu).
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
i renewed my Hulu a week ago or so and started rewatching Switched at Birth. Been a long long time since i last saw it on either Netflix or on tv years ago.
That and rewatching little bit of Lost since that also used to be on Netflix before Netflix got rid of it awhile back
Just finished The Peripheral last night and… real interesting show fair play. Not sure they completely pulled off what they were trying to do but real deep cyber fiction for sure. Never read the Gibson source material but, having seen his name pop up at the start of episode 1, I expected nothing less.
