Avatar: The Last Airbender
★★★★★

Greatest American television series of all time.
Slow Horses - S5E5 - Circus
★★★★½

Consistently one of the best shows on TV.
My Hero Academia — S8E3: The Final Boss
★★★★★

11/10 Could be recency bias but this might be the best episode of the series. Animators cooked, soundtrack cooked, voice actors cooked, Horikoshi cooked. Rewatched it like 10 times.
A MURDER OF CROWS
★★★★
So underrated
My Hero Academia — S8E1: Toshinori Yagi: Rising/Origin
★★★★½

Holy FUCK they cooked. Bones might have the best episode directors in the game.
Doc - Season 1
★★★★

Solid medical procedural with an interesting gimmick.
Alien: Earth — S1E4: Observation
★★★★

Continues to surprise me, very good episode
28 Years Later
★★★½

On one hand I have to give it to Alex Garland for not rehashing 28 days later. The themes are more fleshed out, the characters are more nuanced, and the narrative is much more personal. On the other hand it would’ve been a much better movie had he just done that. No notes for Danny Boyle, the camera work and editing was batshit crazy and disorienting but it fit perfectly. Also I think I’m the only person who liked the ending.
Mr. Robot - S4E7 - 407 Proxy Authentication Required
★★★★★

10/10 no notes. One of the best episodes of television I’ve ever watched
Hostage
★★★★

Easy binge
Star Line
★★★★
He’s back 🥲
Alien: Earth - S1E1 - Neverland
★★★★

Atmosphere and directing was amazing, loved Fargo so that was a given. Plot and Characters I’m a little so-so on so far. Really wish all of the Android/Human hybrids weren’t all children, really takes me out of it, hope that pays off at some point.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - Season 1
★★★½

Stopped watching the main show half way through the whisperers arc but I gotta say this is pretty good. Really liking the new setting.
Eureka Seven
★★★★★

Anime peaked here
The Lazarus Project - Season 2
★★★★½

Might be the best season of Sci Fi television I’ve ever watched.
Mountainhead
★★

Such a waste of time. Feels like a pilot to a TV show.
UNTAMED - Season 1
★★★★

Very cliched but well executed.
Alfredo 2
★★★★
Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist an undefeated combo
The Fantastic 4: First Steps
★★★★

On of Marvel’s best films in a minute. Pedro kills it as Reed and Joseph Quinn and Ebon moss-Bachrach both do a great job as Johnny and Ben in their too little bit of screen time they get . But to me Vanessa Kirby really steals the show as Sue, she keeps the movie grounded in a way that is needed and steals the show every scene she’s in. This is also by a country mile Marvels best looking film and arguably one of the best looking films I’ve ever scene, the Galactus and Silver surfer scenes were 🤯.
The Strain
★★★★

This was so good! Easiest binge in a while. The writing wasn’t always perfect at times but the story beats that needed to hit hit every time.
