    Finished it off. Enjoyed the end of the season a bit more.

    Episode 6 was good. I'm a sucker for anything with a heist. Getting the team together and all that hi-jinx. Very satisfying.

    The finale was good as well. Some rewarding comedic moments made for a good pay off.

    I think this show is still too focused on lore linking back to the cartoons, which are made for kids, and that has driven a lot of the hype for this show. But it's Star Wars, so perhaps I shouldn't have expected anything else.

    Anyhow, there was enough there to bring me back for Season 2 in the fall. I hope they improve on the stuff that didn't work for me.

    I am (purposefully) a bit late to the Shameless party - but man am I loving this show. Getting close to the end of Season 6 and I have been powering through. Highly recommend if you haven't already watched it.

    I am enjoying the Mandalorian as well although less so. Some annoying minor details that I would consider nit-picky. I am a life-long Star Wars fan so probably an easy sell. Overall I am enjoying the feel though in general, although I find myself wishing this was made into a more grimy underworld story instead of feeling it is mostly made for kids/teens (not that I expected anything else from Disney). Reminds me how I felt about all Wolverine movies prior to Logan.

    I watched the first 7ep of Mandalorian last night. I liked it. Shot well, seems a bit too much of an episode based storyline with the main storyline in the background for my personal liking. I was hoping that each episode was more tied to each other.

    However, I would say it's a 7/10 so far, can jump based on the ending. But I do agree, there's a lot of Star Wars lore that wasn't really explained, and for a casual fan of live action SWs, I had to go out of my way to figure things out.

    Saw the final of the Mandolorian, why was the final episode written with way more humour than the rest of the series? I liked it, but it was really different from the rest of the series.

    I'd give the series 7/10, prolly 8/10 if I knew more about the lore. I didn't even really understand the ending. Like I knew it, but didn't get the significance of it.

    Been gobbling up You season 2. Not as good as season 1 but still highly consumable.

    One of the two storm troopers on the speeder bikes was Jason Sudeikis and I knew that going into the scenes, and you can easily tell which ones him. It's hilarious.

    Ya that was a great scene. Nice way to lighten things up a bit.

    Thank you - I did not know that. Going to have to watch it again. Great little scene for sure.

    Watched most of the HBO mini-series Chernobyl last night (3 out of 5 ep.). Looking forward to watching the last two ep's tonight. Super well done series I would highly recommend. It is eye-opening for sure since (to my knowledge) there is not much out there explaining what actually happened in detail.

    And the other one is the equally hilarious but not quite as famous Adam Pally!

    My Top 10 of the Decade

    1) Game of Thrones
    2) Breaking Bad (2008-2013)
    3) Mad Men
    4) Stranger Things
    5) Better Call Saul
    6) Brooklyn Nine Nine (Comedy of the Decade hands down)
    7) Black Mirror
    8) Marvelous Ms Maisel
    9) Mindhunter
    10) Walking Dead

    Honorable Mentions:
    Handmaid's Tale
    True Detective
    Westworld
    Fleabag
    Mr. Robot
    Master of None
    Broadchurch
    Dark
    Making a Murderer
    Haunting of House Hill
    Bourdain - Parts Unknown

    Top spot was a tossup between GOT and BB. GOT had me more gripped than any show in history so I gave it the nod. Top 5 for me were easy, then 6-10 were a toss-up.

    Had to try hard to ignore recency bias. So many good honorable mentions that barely missed the cut off.

    Who's watched Witcher? Is it worth the time?

    I have a hard time imagining Cavill as anyone but Superman...
