Recent Shows

 You S4- terrible. The first half is really solid with some great characters, but it goes down such a dark direction after that where you can't root for any characters at all. The plot twist is easy to see coming and Joe crosses over into pure evil territory in a way that isn't satisfying at all. 

Severance S1- good. Explores the really interesting concept of being severed- your work memories and personal memories are separate so you essentially live two lives. Felt it could have gone into more "thriller" category but instead played it slow, but overall a really solid watch. 

Mandalorian S3- decent. Half the episodes in the season are unfocused filler like some of the S1 episodes. Then there are some really good ones in there too. But much worse than S2 on a whole. 

Ted Lasso S1-3: awesome. Hilarious show with great characters and consistently has excellent and satisfying moments. Absolute bummer that's over. 

Beef S1: pretty good. Starts off a bit weird but I really like the whole flawed protagonist approach. Everyone has massive flaws/does terrible things but at least attempts to be good every once in a while so you have to make decisions about who is worth rooting for. Episode 9 goes into hard crime thriller territory and is excellent. A little disappointing in the finale, wanted 10 more minutes or so to check in on the other characters as it leaves it on such a cliffhanger and likely won't get more content.
