* Glad to see another WWDITS fan. I absolutely love Colin Robinson
* Can't take Grotesquiere seriously because Niecy Nice apparently plays a detective 😂
* May have to resubscribe to Apple+ just for Silo S2.
* I have never been more frustrated with a show than I am with Rings of Power. I wanna love it, but half of the time I struggle to stay awake. More elves and dwarfs, less men and harfoots.
Well I wasn't watching most of these shows but it looks like I now need to add them to my draft email of "To be watched". (I'm an android girl so I don't do notes...it's 50+draft emails).
I did watch season 1 of RoP and struggled so much with the lack of score. So much of the LOTR movies is built with score and it's just lacking so much in this show. I however will regularly allow myself to be ruined by anything Tolkein or Lewis, so I'll be back for season 2.
On the Brittany Mahomes/ Twsift non-drama that is being made into a thing. This is just another great example of the "rage" culture we live in. None of these things should be a reason to end relationships (friendship, familial, or otherwise). It's all nuanced and this culture we live in currently does not allow for nuance in any way. It's really anxiety inducing for me personally. I'm going to have to pop off social media soon and only get my pop culture news via this substack.
I'm with you on all points for Rings of Power. Maybe Hobbit should have been 2 movies and RoP should have been 10-16 episodes. But I do like the nuggets of quality very much!
Not genre TV but I highly recommend English Teacher on Netflix/Hulu. Brian Jordan Alvarez is a genius.

"Energy vampire" is one of the best bits of the decade!
SILO!!! I'm so excited and nervous! Can the deliver on the second season?? The first one was such a surprise and now my expectations are so high.

Wow, what an insight into the android world! ha! I'd love to hear your thoughts if you end up watching any of these with me!
We are thinking too much about Taylor Swift as a culture, methinks. It's just so out of control now the lack of critical thinking.

I've been hearing some good stuff about English Teacher! With your rec, I'll definitely check it out.
