Shows / movies that I dropped halfway:

  • Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves
    • somehow it didn’t grab me, dropped it halfway thru. Many people said it’s good, but the jokes are okay, nothing interesting
  • Onihei S01
    • Somehow it just doesn’t manage to grab me, dropped it after second episode, especially when I read that there’s not really an ending by the end of the show.

I’ve finished watching

  • Record of Ragnarok S01
    • really loving the over-the-top fights between gods and humans. I’m excited for the next season
  • Fringe S05
    • Man, Fringe is now probably my most favorite show. S05 might not hit as hard as S03 or S04, but it ties up everything nicely. The show wouldn’t leave such a lasting impression on me if not for the character Walter Bishop, and of course John Noble did a great job portraying him
  • Killing It S02
    • It’s not as good as the first season. They focused too much on side characters that are not funny at all.
  • The X-Files S02
    • X-Files gets really good on season two. The stories involving Mulder’s family is really intriguing. I’m excited to watch the next season now.
  • Look Around You S01
    • I’ve watched bits and pieces of this on YouTube. OMG, the whole season is just amazing. Every single detail is fucking hilarious.

Started / still watching

  • The Simpsons S04
    • This season definitely feels better than previous ones. There’s absurd humor that hits hard, e.g. rent a big brother, etc.
  • Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still S01
    • Dunno how I feel about it yet. It feels too old-ish, and each episode lasts for an hour. If it doesn’t pick up, I might drop it.
  • Snuff Box S01
    • So far, this is another good Matt Berry show. The humor is closer to Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, and probably better than first season of Toast of London
  • The Outer Limits (1995) S01
    • I’ve only watched the first episode, I guess it sets the tone of sci-fi twilight zone, but with bummer ending. Also the first episode is like 90 mins, bit too long
  • Person of Interest S01
    • I’ve just watched 2 episodes, and I know that this is going to be good. I am having a crime drama fatigue, but POI is different.

So, what have you been watching last week?

    • Beef. I know I’m late to the party, but holy forking shirtballs this is a good show! Airtight writing and just astonishingly good acting from literally everyone on screen. What a ride!
    • Monarch Legacy of Monsters. I’m through the second episode so far. It has a distinctly Indianna Jones feel to it. Seeing it set in Japan is a great touch. Tokyo is one of the most beautiful settings for a TV show in the world.
    • Mr. Robot. I’m giving this a second shot. I tried a couple of episodes years ago and gave up on it. I’m on episode 3 right now, and reminded that the dialogue is just god awful. I hear the plotting is great, but the characterization and dialogue is atrocious. So far. I’m going to stick with it.
