Re: So what have you guys been watching lately?

We started the second season of Alex Rider on IMDB TV (a/k/a Prime Video with ads), and it is great. The first season was spectacular, and the second season is off to an auspicious start. This show is criminally underrated, taking a pretty ridiculous YA spy book series, and transforming it into an excellent espionage series, and I really can’t recommend it highly enough.

I feel like everything I like has returned this month. The Expanse, Cobra Kai, The Witcher, and in place of The Mandalorian I get a spinoff in the form of The Book of Bobba Fett

Plus, I haven't finished Arcane or watched The Squid Game yet.

I feel spoiled.

Been watching Solar Opposites. Great if you're a fan of Rick and Morty.

Unpopular opinion, but I finished the Netflix adaptation of Cowboy Bebop and thought it was great.

I've been aware of the original for years and years, but never prioritized watching it.

I'm really not sure what everyone else hated about it. I can absolutely believe a bunch of fans of the anime being disappointed, but I have to imagine that most other viewers also had not.

I'm slightly disappointed that there won't be a second season, but I'm also not sure where they would go with it.

Yep, that didn't go so well. Glad to have had that show back for a season , but the writers fucked the finale up twice. Oh well. Me and the wife are watching Breaking Bad now. Missed that one back then

I did know that Michael C Hall had a band, not to bad. https://youtu.be/y4491pph2-0

Beavis and Butthead, but I've also started rewatching Steven Universe on HBO Max.

So I watched the second episode of Netflix's Cowboy Bebop and...

I really like it. I enjoyed it more than the first episode. I think a lot of people disliking the series, based on watching the two first episodes, seem to have imagined some particular expectations. On the one hand, I get that: so far the series is sticking rather close to the original in some aspects, but is veering rather far from the source material in others. On the other hand, it is definitely making its own path, and I happen to really enjoy that path so far.

He'd do well on The Masked Singer. Good voice, under the radar name/actor that's been in some well known stuff.

I'm glad someone is enjoying it (I certainly didn't), but just so you know, I believe they cancelled it. There's a petition out there to try and bring it back though if you want to sign it
