📺 Finished watching: Sugar (2024) on Apple TV+
Goodness, Colin Farrell nailed his role here. Enthralling from start to end. And the twists kept things interesting. Great addition to the ATV+ lineup, and I’m hoping for a second season.
📺 I finally finished season 4 of For All Mankind and, oh boy, that finale had me sweating. Lots of things are going to be different in season 5, I’m sure. I didn’t connect as much with S4, but still great television. (By the way, watching it on a massive screen with Vision Pro was pretty sweet.)
📺 So happy for the triumphant return of Trying on Apple TV+. It’s one of my all-time favorite shows, and season 4’s opening schtick was superb. Can’t wait to see how the rest of the season goes.
📺 Finished watching: Foundation (seasons 1 and 2) on Apple TV+
Game of Thrones meets centuries-spanning space opera. I dig it! Is it perfect? Nope. But it sure is entertaining and I’m more invested in the storylines (silly though some are) with every episode. Can’t wait to see how it evolves.
📺 Started watching: Invasion on Apple TV+
Whoa there’s a lot going on here. They’ve certainly set themselves up with a full season’s worth of questions to answer. Which, I suppose is good! Anyone else get The Leftovers vibes from the title sequence music?

If there’s one thing I learned about Napoleon tonight, it’s that he loved to play with his cannons. 🍿
If you make it through Trying S02E08 without a happy cry, or at least a few solid happy tears, you’ve got tougher emotional walls than me, my friend. 🥹📺
Season 2 of Our Flag Means Death isn’t really doing it for me. There’s still time, though, and I did love the first season. 📺
📺 Finished watching: BEEF on Netflix ★★★★
The ante just. kept. getting. raised!
🍿 Just watched: Oppenheimer ★★★★
It’s a far cry from The Dark Knight or Inception, but boy does Nolan know how to make a movie. I was riveted through the whole three-hour trial-that-wasn’t-a-trial.
I’m continually amazed by what humans can make, and what they can do to each other.
While watching the first episode of The Afterparty Season 2, I was a little worried that it had lost its mojo. The setup seemed a bit ham-fisted, and I didn’t connect with any of the characters. But the second episode was an absolute delight. Really looking forward to the reset of the season now! 📺
I couldn’t say it any better myself.
Well, Ted Lesso ended very well. It was a brilliant show with many flaws, but it was always something special.
I’m here for it if it continues on in another form, but if not, that’s fine too. It’s been a special show.
I’d love there to be another story brewing, but I’m so glad that they got to tell the story that they wanted to. 📺
📺 Finished watching: The Last of Us (2023) on HBO, created by Craig Mazin & Neil Druckmann ★★★★
I don’t always get on board with the latest popular TV crazes, but this one definitely held up. I appreciated that while you certainly felt on edge for every episode, there weren’t as many jump and zombie scares as there could have been. I loved seeing the trust grow between Ellie and Joel, and how they helped each other become less broken over time — even while having to do horrific things.
And, yes, the ending is quite shocking.
📺 Finished watching: The Climb (2023) on HBO Max, created by Chris Sharma and Jason Mamoa ★★★☆
I’m a climber who has always enjoyed the bromance between Sharma and Mamoa. So I was super interested in this series. I found it a bit pedantic and cringy early on and was disappointed that Mamoa had basically zero involvement with the climbers. But everyone was personable and showed up in a big way in the actual climbing. I grew to enjoy the series and was on the edge of my seat during the finale.
Finished watching: Loot Season 1 (2022) created by Alan Yang & Matt Hubbard ★★★★ 📺
Just as funny as I expected, but with way more heart. A little cliché in parts, but still a fun and worthwhile watch. Maya Rudolph is a national treasure.
So I flew through the whole first season of Ted Lasso in two days. Even as someone who’s rewatched it multiple times and knows it very well, I still got the feels. ★★★★ 📺
