Forgot to mention We Are Lady Parts, an excellent UK dramedy series about a female Muslim punk band set in present-ish day (like a few years old is all). A great watch. Only one season, wishing there was a second one.

I Think You Should Leave, season 3. Coming May 30th, 2023

Finally getting around to watching season 3 of The Mandalorian.

I have no idea if this will be good, but Grogu is in it, and Grogu is fucking cute as hell.

It was pretty weak. I watched the whole thing cause my nephew was an extra in it and I couldn't spot him in what could have been his shot.

I've decided Andor is the only great Star Wars show.

Succession schmuccession.. this is what I've been waiting for.

Netflix



Black Mirror season 6. I've seen the first 3 episodes ("Joan Is Awful", "Loch Henry", "Beyond the Sea"), but not yet 4 and 5 ("Mazey Day" and "Demon 79"). As always, it's a mixed bag. So far, the standout is "Beyond the Sea". "Loch Henry" doesn't really work but has some truly great moments. "Joan Is Awful" is kind of a head-scratcher, and not in a good way, although it was nice to see Rich Fulcher and Michael Cera in small roles.

[Edit: "Mazey Day" is one act short of a complete story. Another twenty minutes and Charlie Brooker may have been able to flesh it out adequately.]

[Second edit: "Demon 79" is great. I'm curious if the resident Brits here will end up liking it as much as I did.]

I did like Joan is Awful quite a lot. My favorite part of it is that they solved the "problem" of the life-shredding "Netflix" show by...unsubscribing from Netflix.

Chimp Empire is off to a good start.

I normally give up on series too soon-but 'The Days' had me completely stoked. Japanese technicians and politicians trying to deal with the Fujushima disaster. Not only did I learn a lot, it's not often you see engineers as the stars/heroes of the show. Awesome, frightening- I was hooked

Thanks for the tip. Sounds interesting.
