Up to episode 9 in House of the Dragon. This is all very good. Weird how they go to such lengths to age up the cast as appropriate except for Matt Smith though. Like, he looks barely a day older than episode 1. I guess maybe I should look into actually watching Game of Thrones. Except how they aged up Aemond. The actor is terrific, but he looks like he's about 28 years old, not the 16 or 17 year old he's supposed to be. There is no way that he is younger than Aegon.

I'm 2 episodes from the end of Severance, season 1 and what a wonderful show! So damned creepy! Highly recommended. Boy, I've missed John Turturro. I just love him.

Finished Severance. Holy Cow! What an ending! The final shots left me speechless and the wait for the next season has been excruciating so far for me.

Part 2 of 3 of the big "NCIS" crossover between the original, Hawaii and Los Angeles.. You can tell they had issues with availability, almost everyone is in at least 1/2 of each other's episodes.. "Where's Parker? Oh he had to get back to Washington"... NCIS, CIA, FBI and D.O.D are all involved in this case, it's an actual interesting one.

Currently at season 2 of Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, because I’m a Michael Crichton fan (got his books before the Jurassic Park movie was made & watched all the movies in this franchise except for Dominion) & because Jenna Ortega voiced one of the characters. Liked her in Wednesday. 😊 I went into this no synopsis or spoilers thinking it was a kiddie series…whew! Quite a number of adult deaths, no blood though. And lots of life threatening situations. Recommended to fans of the books, movies, dinosaurs, Jenna Ortega. 👍🏻⭐️

Finishing up Andor tonight. Is there anything else y'all think I should try to watch on Disney Plus? I intend to cease my subscription this month. So far I've only really used it to watch some old Simpsons and a handful of MCU things (and a season and a half of Mando).

Westworld Season 4 Episodes 3-8 Now it sucks that the series was cancelled before the planned 5th and final series, but this works great as a series finale in its own right
Moon Knight

A few things on the go right now...
Rewatching Futurama, nearly done with that. One airing season / half a production season remaining.
Been on a bit of a nature documentary kick lately. So far I've watched Blue Planet (1, for the first time) and am a bit more than half through Planet Earth (1, rewatch). Got a heap more BDs and 4Ks of BBC NHU series to re/watch once I'm finished with this one.
Season 2 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch started up the other day with a pair of episodes. Really strong start. I'm ever so slightly wary because the beginning and end were the only parts of season 1 that excited me, but at the same time I'm cautiously optimistic because I find that most SW animated series have a meh first season before finding their feet in their second. Fingers crossed.
Also, after finally watching Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time ever a couple of years ago, I am now finally watching The Legend of Korra (finished off season 1 earlier today). It's going to be hard to top the magnificence that was ATLA, but so far I am quite impressed with Korra.
Finished Futurama, finished The Legend of Korra.
Still on SW: The Bad Batch every week, still finding it quite strong. This week's was maybe a bit of a step down from the first three, but I feel like that's just by comparison with the first three. That, of itself, it's a perfectly fine and good episode, it's just that the first three were so strong that the difference is really highlighted.
BBC NHU voyage continues. Finished rewatching Planet Earth (1), in the meantime have also rewatched South Pacific and Life. Currently on Human Planet.
The first episode of The Last of Us the other day too, and wow, holy smokes. I didn't think screen adaptations of video games were allowed to be good, but here we are.
Also been rewatching scattered episodes of SW: The Clone Wars and various stand-up comedy specials on Netflix.

The Last Of Us, episode one. Absolutely brilliant, must watch for fans of the genre. Best video game adaptation ever!

The 1st 4 episodes of "That 90's Show".. Following the ages, Eric, Kelso, Fez etc are 15 years older than me.. The sequel to "That 70's Show" starts off 3rd July 1995.. I was just a coupleish weeks from turning 20.. They really did their homework- the original is still 1 of my favourite shows.. Eric who is a huge Star Wars fan named his daughter Leia.. OMGG I love it!

Vox Machina season 2. Quite fun. Basically Lower Decks just in a fantasy world, with magic and dragons.

Mythic Quest Season 1 and 2. It takes a little while to pick up steam, but I'm really enjoying it. It does does some really great cut-away episodes.
Garth Marengi's Dark Place Still hilarious!
The Last of Us Last of Us is probably the easiest video game to adapt to TV, since the game is already heavily structured like a prestige TV show. It's debatable whether it was even worth adapting, but for what it's worth, the creative choices they've made in terms of what to consolidate and what you elaborate on have been been very good.
Baki: Son of the Ogre Like the last season, just non-stop bonkers insanity. Lots of fun!
Record of Rangnarok This started with a fun ridiculous premise, but my god does it get dull. Most of the characters are so anime washed as to be unrecognizable, and it's dripping in trite anime cliches, which would be fine if the action didn't halt every 5 seconds for a 5 minute exposition cutaway. Dropped it at the 3rd episode.
Primal Rewatched some of Season 1. I forgot how damn gorgeous this show is.
Digimon Ghost Game As fun as this show is as episodic ghost stories, I'm definitely ready for it to start digging it's heels into the arcing plot.

Just finished the third episode of The Last of Us (and just learnt that they're getting a second season! YES!!!!!). If you're a fan of the games, this show just IS The Last of Us. The casting is perfect, the look is spot-on, and the way they blend the scenes from the game into a TV narrative is absolutely seamless. Without saying too much, this episode does deviate a little from the game, but in the most appropriate way it possibly could. I can get quite emotionally attached to pieces of music, and the music in the games can be really affecting at times. Couple some of those cues with the scenes in this episode... I cried at least twice. Just a beautiful adaptation of a story I already absolutely adored. Even if you've never played the games, I think this is a fantastic show and an absolute must-watch!

Marathoning The Sandman on Netflix. Episode 6: The Sound of Her Wings, is beautiful. I read all the books/comics a long time ago.

I was unsure if there was even any worth in adapting the game to TV in the first place, but this episode alone has justified it for me. Hopefully we get more interesting divergences like this down the road.

Currently rewatching Stan Lee’s Lucky Man. Remember being very impressed with this first time around and finding it quite underrated.
