Welp, time to dust of my half-finished copy of Wool. I loved the prologue but I struggled to maintain interest with the rest. Def had the feeling it was destined for the screen though. It's a great premise.

It has it's issues, but the world it builds is really cool. I really wish the author had written more than just the three books. I wanted more by the end of the series.
 
If anyone's looking for a nice fast dramedy, I recommend Community Squad on Netflix. I binged it pretty quickly. It's based in Buenos Aires. It's about the city's attempt to try and expand on diversity and inclusion in their police by hiring people with disabilities and/or minorities to do minor safety work and pr things. I thought it was really funny and well done for a quick show. Well worth the watch imo.

Watched the Pilot episode of Superstore and what the hell was that? It had no substance, no backstory, just goofy characters going through seemingly unconnected scenes. It’s like they crammed a season’s worth of ideas into a single episode. Does it get better?

I watched the second episode. It wasn’t amazing, but it was significantly better with a set storyline. I might stick with it idk

Update: midway through season 2 and I'm loving it. I still think the pilot episode was terrible but it got significantly better as it went on. Pretty much every character is hilarious, tons of laugh out loud moments. Dina is basically Dwight and Glenn is like a tamer Michael Scott.

There are also some great side characters as it goes on, like Sandra and Marcus

yes! Marcus, Sandra, Carol, Justine, Brett, Myrtle, that creepy guy that you see sometimes. I like how with such a big workplace you would actually see these people from time to time but not every episode. It would be unrealistic if they had the core cast and only ever showed antics of the core cast and not these ancillary employees.

After Superstore ended they shot a spin-off for Cheyenne and Bo but it wasn't picked up

Just finished watching Broad City. It was a sweet, well-developed show overall. I enjoyed it.

Side note, I tried to watch Ilana Glazer's stand up special (I think it was Netflix and don't know if there are others) and I remember that being kind of horrible.

But Broad City was nice.

I saw Ilana perform standup way back in Feb 2020 and it was just okay. I don't think she'd have gotten far in standup alone without Broad City behind her. I think she works better as part of a duo.
 
Just finished a rewatch through S5 of Better Call Saul. (S6 isn't on Netflix yet so we'll take a break)
First off, each season definitely got better and season 5 was just amazing. And while I already noticed how good Rhea Seehorn was the first time around, I am just amazed with her performance. She does so much without dialog. With her little smiles, warm eyes, cold stares, unflappable and stoic moments, all just so great. With her character going though so much, she has a chance to explore a wide range of emotions and does it nearly flawlessly.

And Tony Dalton is perfect as Lalo. Even when acting 'friendly' ("Hey guys, what's up?") he's so menacing.

I'm pretty sure if I saw Tony Dalton in real life I'd be terrified. That's when you know you're doing something right.
