    For All Mankind. I had a hard time getting into the show just because you have to believe in an alternate reality but it got better the second season and beyond.

    That movie Fingernails was probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever watched on TV. I can’t believe Apple would pay money to make that movie.

    For All Mankind, The Buccaneers, starting Monarch King of Monsters tomorrow night! That will be fun I think.

    Love FaM, Buccaneers is okay-good so far if you’re not worried about realism in costumes, etc.

    Finished Shrinking and Slow Horses this past weekend. They were amazing. Severance and Silo are amazing 🤩 Now I am watching Loot, it’s entertaining so far. I dip in and out of For all mankind. Tried but could not get into Invasion.

    Anything on streaming services that cost less than $15 for 4K content and supports a family plan in multiple households still. So whatever isn’t on Netflix I guess lol

      I liked it!

      It was not a fast moving show though, I think some people expected more action all the time.

    Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

    Absolute bangers on Apple TV+. They’ve been putting out quality show after quality show for like $7 a month for a couple years now. I keep thinking “No way they put out another amazing show.” I don’t know how they are doing this so well and other streaming services have fallen off so hard. Amazon Prime is trying, but most of it’s still garbage. Netflix has gone downhill on their own shows. Premier cable channels, hbo, stars, cinemax, etc all have like 1 show each that they ride for a few years. Hbo has been the best on those, of course. But AppleTV+, bangers. All of them. Napoleon looks like the next great movie. Couldn’t have chosen a better person to play him. It really just doesn’t make sense how they are doing it.

    The price increase is well worth it. At this point, might as well cancel everything else. Apple always has like 2-4 shows running a week.

    Monarch. And so far it’s a disapointment for me. It’s not bad per se, but to me it commits the same mistake as the vast majority of kaiju media produced in the West: human drama that doesn’t build up or complement the kaiju threat.

    There’s no tension, no sense that those creatures are an existential to humanity. It’s mostly treated as a classic monster showcase, and that sucks :c

    I know things deviate from their intent over time, but the idea of representing the dread of nuclear annihilation through a monster that could come out from anywhere is so compelling on its own, that I don’t know why it’s completely abandonned in western media about kaiju.

    However, I wouldn’t be making this comment if the human drama was top tier I think. As it stands it’s serviceable. Not bad, but nothing great either. It’s kind of bland honestly.
