Pluribus: Recommend with the caveat that it's slooooow going. Has an interesting sci-fi premise that it's stretching out. I am unconvinced there will be a satisfactory conclusion at the end of this season. So far though it's the best weekly sci-fi on right now. (Take that as you will.) But it really is bloody slow.

House of Ashur: So far would not recommend. Lacks the passionate acting Andy Whitfield brought to the first season (RIP). And lacks the charisma Dustin Clare brought to the prequel series. Still watching though, but we'll see...

Stranger Things S5 Part 1: It is what it is. That said, the last episode of this part upped the pacing and I found it to be entertaining watching and would recommend based solely off this episode.

Starting The Mighty Nein. Critical Role stuff generally lacks a certain complexity I prefer, being adaptations of tabletop. But it's sometimes a fun ride. Vox Machina fell headfirst into that description for me and I still haven't finished it. It's more an emotional joyride of fantasy than it is a real story with arcs, plot, and most importantly (for me again), foreshadowing. But we'll see how this one runs. I am a sucker for epic or low fantasy.

Looking forward to Fallout S2.


PS: Not a series, but I watched Frankenstein with Oscar Isaac and while it's not going to change the world I enjoyed it for what it was worth and would recommend. I am biased towards Isaac's acting though.
