Shows I'm in the middle of, usually one episode at a time.

  • Poster for Brothers

    Brothers

    TV · 2026 · Apple TV
    On season 1
    A fun show to wait for every week, but a weak offering from two fine actors. It’s about their lives, but is it really?
  • Poster for Slow Horses

    Slow Horses

    TV · 2022– · Apple TV
    On season 6
    Every single season is a banger: six beautifully done episodes, every time. Lamb cracking up about the state of transportation is hilarious, and Sid is back.
  • Poster for True Detective

    True Detective

    TV · 2014– · HBO
    On season 1
    Finally started season 1, episode 1.
  • Poster for Small Prophets

    Small Prophets

    TV · 2026 · Apple TV
    On season 1
    Three episodes in, and I can’t help but love it. The way they show the bond forming between Michael and Kacey is simply beautiful. Although I’m a little worried they don’t have a coffee place other than Pickles. On to episode 4 on Wednesday!

New films I've seen lately, loved or otherwise.

    Let's Be Cops

    Film · 2014 · Luke Greenfield
    Watched October 2026
    Fun, but extremely predictable.
    The duo is fun to watch. New Girl magic?
  • Poster for Spider-Man: Brand New Day

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day

    Film · 2026 · Destin Daniel Cretton
    Watched July 2026, in theatres
    Umm.
  • Poster for The Odyssey

    The Odyssey

    Film · 2026 · Christopher Nolan
    Watched July 2026, in theatres
    A modern masterpiece.
    Matt Damon, the music, and the journey through the myths. Tom and Zendaya don’t work here.
  • Poster for Toy Story 5

    Toy Story 5

    Film · 2026 · Andrew Stanton
    Watched June 2026, in theatres
    I adore the first four, but a large chunk of this one wasn’t for me.
    Perhaps because the plot was mostly easy to figure out.
  • Poster for Disclosure Day

    Disclosure Day

    Film · 2026 · Steven Spielberg
    Watched June 2026, in theatres
    Why? A dull, uninspired film with a philosophical heart, and that’s all.
  • Poster for Project Hail Mary

    Project Hail Mary

    Film · 2026 · Phil Lord & Christopher Miller
    Watched March 2026, in theatres
    Funny, quirky, and memorable for a long time.
    Rocky worked his charm, and so did the background music. A great Phil Lord and Chris Miller movie, again.
  • Poster for Hoppers

    Hoppers

    Film · 2026 · Daniel Chong
    Watched March 2026, in theatres
    A good Pixar movie again.
    It had soul, heart, beavers, and humans as beavers. The highlight was Tom the Lizard. I had a blast watching it in a theatre, for the first time in a long while.
  • Poster for F1

    F1

    Film · 2025 · Joseph Kosinski
    Watched June 2025, in theatres
    Worth watching in a theatre, if only for the background score.
  • Poster for The Devil Wears Prada 2

    The Devil Wears Prada 2

    Film · 2026 · David Frankel
    Good, but more of a money grab, and guessable. A good flight movie, perhaps.
    They tied Andy coming back to work for Miranda together well, and showed a kinder, softer side of Miranda and the others. Emily became a soft villain. The billionaire and the owner’s son were meh and didn’t add much to the story, even with good actors playing them.

Shows I finished and still think about.

  • Poster for Lanterns

    Lanterns

    TV · 2026 · HBO
    Season 1, finished October 2026
    Kyle Chandler is great in it, and the show works mostly because of his charm. I’m also a little biased towards less hero stuff and more character development. The way the show used fear, and the consequences around it, was really something. A great first season. Hopefully there’s a second?
  • Poster for Reacher

    Reacher

    TV · 2022– · Prime Video

  • Poster for Rick and Morty

    Rick and Morty

    Loved it, all the way to season 8.

  • Poster for Widow's Bay

    Widow's Bay

    TV · 2026 · Apple TV
    A different kind of horror, the kind even Stephen King would be sarcastic about, and a little jealous of.
  • Poster for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

    Silo

    TV · 2023– · Apple TV
    One of the best sci-fi shows on right now. Episodes 9 and 10 of season 3 were mind-blowing. Counting the days to season 4.
  • Poster for Fargo

    Fargo
