Telly and a movie or two (Ed note: we're not endorsing the streaming services or their companies *cough*)

Frankenstein ( Netflix ) was certainly something. We really liked Wednesday, two seasons.
The Man from Earth ... is probably not a MacCloud
Pluribus ( Apple ) seems to start well, Invasion is very good ( deep characters) but hard to watch. Second Severance season was not working for us skipped ahead, [lousy] ending was no better.
All of the new Trek ( Paramount ) is actually quite good, even if you aren't sure about Trek. And if you are sure you like / know Trek, don't skip Lower Decks!
- If you have the Star Trek channel, check out Kathy Bates as Matlock (?!) and an interesting spy show The Agency with Michael Fassbender.
We watched His Dark Materials again quite pleasantly. We're watching Magicians again. We started Westworld again and we seem to really like it, halfway through.
We actually liked Foundation S2 and S3 if not 1 ( Apple )
Andor S2 ( Disney ) is good but anguish to be in history here and now, haven't watched the rest. Most other new Disney Wars shows are just terrible.
Wayward (Netflix) with Toni Colette was really good. Watched that straight through one Caturday, captivated.
There's a Dune show on HBO. Sort of. Anyway the costumes and sets are fantastic.
Peacemaker S2 ( HBO ) was surprisingly phenomenally good despite not liking the first season and giving up quickly. The humour is razor sharp and surprising.
- Gunn's Creature Commandos is also very good.. though that's less surprising since DC animation has long been consistently excellent.
- I actually liked the new Superman, but you don't have to have watched it closely to enjoy Peacemaker S2
