        Money Heist

        bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao

        I watch it in Spanish with subtitles on because I enjoy hearing them swear with such spicy musicality. However, I am also now obsessed with this English language version of the main song its plot features.

            The spouse and I have gotten hooked on Attack on Titan. I’m having a really hard time not spoilering myself on the mysteries of the show. Husbando and I can sometimes spot the plot twists as they come up but we honestly didn’t catch what happened to the lead’s dad until about ten minutes before the reveal. Even though we should have cause they planted the seeds of it about ten episodes back.

                  It’s been very enjoyable so far. My regret is I’ve not had more time to binge it.

                    I have earned the “Binged” achievement for this already.

                      The third season of The Mandalorian is seriously good.

                      I love what they did with the show right when I’d expect it to dip in quality or rehash the same themes - but no. It’s stepped up the world-building big time, and constructed a really engaging outlook on what the galaxy ruled by a fledgling New Federation - as well as its parts which are not - are like, and what they feel like.

                      It’s also done a great job balancing the politics and long-view of where things are going with the shorter adventures those shellheads get to have while they’re at it. Really good stuff.

                      Also, the guest stars!

                        The Swarm on Amazon Prime. Was just amazing, so perfect. Favorite show in a long time.

                          Most recent Mandalorian was…woof, pretty rough. I am shocked by this show’s politics.

                          You’ve got the little droid-building aliens who MUST all know this one alien dude on a completely different planet, and who only respond if you speak to them in a certain slow simple way, and all get offended by the same thing.

                          Your droids are just simple cute beings who adore their masters and will gratefully perform menial tasks and labor because they’re just so grateful, and any deviance or rebellion from what is objectively a slave’s existence is because a rogue programmer forced them into it.

                          Then in the end they pull some Elder Wand fuckery on us to slip out of arguably one of the only interesting conflicts in the show.

                          Blech. This one left a bad taste in my mouth.

                                I’m only about four episodes in but I’m liking the Night Agent so far.

                                  @Cobalt I really liked that show. The quality was something I’d expect to see on like, ABC or another “real” network TV channel. We burned through it pretty fast.

                                    I got a little mad at my spouse b/c he started watching it without me, and while I’ve been sick he’s been watching while I was sleeping. I’d wake up and be like “are you watching that?? stop”

                                    It’s pretty good so far! I’m trying to decide who the real villain of the show is.

                                        Picard S3 really is the nostalgia bomb that the show should have been all along. I’m not going to say the plot is the most amazing or anything, but individual character moments to bring the old TNG people together and kind of give some characters resolutions they should have had long ago… that shit has been stellar.

                                          @Rucket Counterpoint: I am worried they are going to faceplant the landing about as bad as Rise of Skywalker, but we’ll see. Also there is potential for the Lower Decks tie-in, but they probably won’t even attempt it, either, and it upsets me.

                                            The nostalgia really gets me.

                                            I am kinda shocked they didn’t lean right into it from the start. I don’t and never cared too much for most of the new characters they’ve introduced - and to be clear, that’s not because they weren’t interesting or anything like that.

                                            But I wanted to see Deanna, Riker, Worf and the gang get into debates with Data about what it means to be human again. Maybe play some classical music that’s somehow integral to the plot. Try to engineer the gismo that saves the day. Understand an unfamiliar culture instead of getting in there to fire their phasers at some enemy.

                                            You know, Star Trek shit.

                                            And since in S3 they are giving this to me, I am a happy person.
