Foundation season 2. I like how good it is despite they are still building their world and characters and it feels like the plot has not even set yet.

Finishing The Equalizer Season 3, the Queen Latifah one

Reacher season 2. Reacher is a different character this season, he’s bigger, dumber, and I wondered there for a moment if they were trying to make him out to be on the spectrum. This one is teetering on finishing to be a completionist or DNF.

Percy Jackson season 1. I didn’t read the books and have vague memories of the movies and being unimpressed by them. I feel like I’m too old for the new viewer target audience, and since I didn’t read them as a kid I’m missed by the nostalgia target audience. I get why others would like it though, certainly better than the movies.

Oppenheimer. I procrastinated for a long time, put off by the length and the “great man biopic” genre. I am glad I finally watched it. Cillian Murphy is the man. Downey shows off chops he couldn’t in MCU and Sherlock movies.

Silent Night (2023). I was surprised when I looked up after watching that it was directed by John Woo, of Mission Impossible 2, FaceOff, and Windtalkers pedigree. It is about what I expected for the genre (action/crime thriller with a Christmas schtick), but surprisingly flat for a movie coming from John Woo.

I just started rewatching Brooklyn Nine-Nine. After Andre Braugher died in mid December I decided it’d be my next show after I finished up Scrubs. B99 cracks me up. The whole cast is just phenomenal, there’s not a weak link in the chain. Hell, even the recurring characters like Kevin Cozner, Doug Judy, and Adrian Pimento are brilliantly cast. And in the case of Adrian Pimento, I think that’s super impressive because I’ve never liked Jason Mantzoukas in anything apart from the podcast “How Did This Get Made”.
