Weekly “What are you watching” Thread || Week of November 26th - eviltoast

I wanna try a weekly ‘what are you watching’ thread, and see if there’s enough activity.

Here’s some of the shows I’ve been watching last week:

  • Loki (Season 2)
    • Finished watching it last week. It is probably my favorite post Thanos MCU show. I like the character growth, and while I usually dislike Thor’s story (due to magic and gods), I ended up liking Loki a lot
  • Fringe (Season 4)
    • Started season 4 of Fringe. Man! I love this show a lot. I can’t wait to be disappointed in the final season.
  • Nathan for You (Season 4)
    • Finally finished the whole show. I love the part where Nathan needed to prepare for his Jimmy Kimmel interview. The last episode started out good, but I ended up disliking Bill, after his comments about what Frances said long time ago.
  • Impractical Jokers (Season 1)
    • I learned about Impractical Jokers from Instagram videos, decided to try it. Season 1 is kinda dated, but some parts are really hilarious. I think I only like prank shows, when they are making fun of themselves.
  • Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated (Season 1)
    • Dropped the show altogether, I find it boring.
  • Castlevania: Nocturne (Season 1)
    • Feels like other Castlevania shows, I’m on episode 3, and it still hasn’t hooked me yet
  • Gunbuster (Season 1)
    • I am really enjoying the feel of this old anime. It went quickly from sports-mech anime into darker / more serious tone in episode 2. There’s something about older anime that’s kinda lost in the newer ones, I can’t quite put my words into it.
  • Amazing Stories (1985) (Season 1)
    • I’m now at episode 8. The quality varies between episodes, since it’s an anthology show. I like the episode with the mummy, and the keyboard murderer.
  • The Adults (2023)
    • I’m weirdly liking this movie a lot, it’s more drama than comedy. It’s quite a sweet movie about straining relationships between 3 siblings, without anything really bombastic happening, and probably why it’s more relatable to me.

So, what have you been watching the past week?

    I watch new eps of Castaway Diva and season two of The Gilded Age every week. Castaway Diva is a super soap operaish kdrama and sometimes the plot devices are so unbelievable I roll ny eyes but the characters are cute. The Gilded Age has beautiful sets and costumes and the plot is okay but the acting is terrible (with a few exceptions).

    I’ve also been churning thru The Expanse, which was recommended by someone on Beehaw. it’s pretty good, kind of hard to connect with the characters but interesting plot.
