RECENTLY FINISHED
KinnPorsche The Series La Forte
Thoroughly enjoyable and did exactly what it said on the tin: 'dark mafia romance'. If I don't get a season 2 I might have to write my own.
Star Trek: Discovery season 4
Going back to the roots of Discovery as a science ship, and watching these nerds just excel, Trek crossing the galactic barrier as the new frontier, everything about Michael's friendship with the Federation President...simply outstanding, the best of Trek.
Star Trek: Picard season 2
The Q are easily my least favourite Trek concept, but combining them with the total overhaul of the Borg, a reexamination of Soong, and the deep dive into Picard's psyche worked gangbusters for me. And Q doing it all as a dying act of love for Picard resonated emotionally.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1
Old school-style Trek at its very best. Hemmer going over that cliff to save them all from the Gorn made me WEEP. I'm ready for season 2 because I NEED an Ortegas episode.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4
Miriam, Miriam, Miriam. Watching her self-sabotage because she's actually terrified of prime time was AMAZING. She's comfortable being the biggest fish in a series of small ponds but despite saying she wants the big leagues she blows every opportunity at them. Lenny calling her out was a long time coming. And Susie soaring as Miriam stagnates? Gold. Can't wait to see what happens next.
To My Star 2: Our Untold Stories
I love watching what happens after the happily ever after because let's be real: most of these couples would struggle. We need more reminders in media that actually, love does NOT conquer all. Ji Woo and Seo Joon always had a reckoning coming, because Seo Joon thought if he could love Ji Woo hard enough that Ji Woo would feel it. In the end, Ji Woo had to work through his traumas on his own and come back to Seo Joon as a whole person, and hope that Seo Joon could forgive his trespasses. A beautiful meditation on how much of a struggle love can actually be.
Slow Horses
Simply outstanding. Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott-Thomas put on a clinic, and the plot is delightful.
Quaranthings 2
The Besh/Che/Kulas poly situation is super fun, and I could listen to Rocky and Judah call each other akin all day, every day.
The Umbrella Academy season 3
One thing for sure is that this show always keeps it fresh. I could have done with about 99% less Allison angst this season though.
Silent Witness season 25
The return of Sam Ryan! Jack and Nikki finally get it together! An overarching mystery! Another solid outing from one of the best shows on television anywhere in the world.
Russian Doll season 2
I was so excited but after watching I found myself wondering whether a season 2 was necessary.
CURRENTLY WATCHING
Yumi's Cells 2
Just plain fun. Yu Mi and Ba Bi's relationship has a completely different flavour from her relationship with Wung, and the cells remain as entertaining as ever.
Money Heist
The trashy energy combined with the twisty plot leave me intrigued and ready for more.
REWATCHING
Love By Chance
I mean...when am I not rewatching Love By Chance? AePete only though.
I Promised You the Moon
Yes yes, you all hate it, I simply don't agree.
Gaya Sa Pelikula (Like In The Movies)
I think I have to accept that we'll never get a season 2, so I'm mourning what could have been.
LOOKING FORWARD TO
Pa-Thirsty
I never got into Pearl Next Door but I love Adrianna So so as soon as I can find this I'm watching it.
Gameboys 2
INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION WHEN IDEAFIRST?!
War of Y
Looks like some good trash, sign me up.
The Midnight Trilogy (Dirty Laundry, Midnight Motel, Moonlight Chicken)
Looks like they're all in pre-production and I could not be more excited.
P.S. I Hate You
I love some good soapy bitches and a whole lotta mess.
Never Let Me Go
Still trepidatious about whether Pond and Phuwin can sell it but the concept works for me.
The Eclipse
Cautiously optimistic, because I think this might finally be Khaotung's breakout role, and I love First beyond measure after Not Me.
A slew of assorted kdramas
I am extremely behind on my kdrama watching, I've pretty much missed everything good this year so far, first due to Bad Buddy brainrot and then KinnPorsche having me by the throat.
Derry Girls season 3
2 dumb blondes, a space cadet and the human equivalent of a heat-seeking missile growing up Catholic in Derry in the 90s. Their parents: equally ridiculous. Their school principal? An over-it nun. Seriously, you should watch this.
Young Royals 2
I'm ready to return to Hillerska.
Summerdaze
Are we EVER getting this?
Tagging @elnotwoods, @suzukibeanes, @liyazaki and anybody else who wants to play.
