What is the latest good TV series you have watched?

With all of Disney's financial and otherwise power, Favreau has launched the second season of The Mandalorian. With all of the neato, keen references and surprises of the first season, how could the second season premier compare? Well, as it turns out, quite well. There wasn't much writing involved, since the entire story is not much more than an amalgam of spaghetti westerns, Deadwood, Dune, and seventy other easily recognizable sources. Mando is on the move with Yodette, looking for surviving Mandalorians to help him find the infant's own kind. His journey pits him against gangsters, strange new...and old...creatures, and some well-known voices (Hey! I know that voice!!!), until finally landing him into a deal to protect a town in terror. It's once again visually impressive, humorous, at times cute, and it does what Disney always does well: takes the mundane and makes it work anyway. You Star Wars geeks will be ejaculating in your britches at the very, very end. Season 2 is underway with a successful albeit familiar beginning. B+

My favorite anime series is Monster (2004–2010), very good psychological crime drama mystery.
It's a bit slow paced, it could have been done in half of the 74 episodes, but it is very well written and animated.
It's been about 10 years since I saw the final episode, maybe I'll watch it again, hopefully it won't feel dated.

Anyone watching The Queen's Gambit? I've only watched one episode and love it to bits already. The lack of chess knowledge necessary to follow it has been a big relief too.

I went back to youtube. I've been watching some of the classic Rowan and Martin Laugh-In episodes. With Dan Rowan, Dick Martin, Lily Tomlin, Henry Gibson, Arte Johnson, Ruth Buzzi, Jo Anne Worley, Judy Carne and Goldie Hawn. Some of the guests were Sammy Davis Jr., Carol Channing, Don Rickles, Phyllis Diller, Dom DeLuise and John Wayne.

Excellent stuff.

I watched it already and it was amazingly good.

Do you like romance? Did you like The X Files? Do you want to see most of the performers deliver lines like they're in a 7th Grade production of Beauty And The Beast? Then you'll like Once Upon A Time...which aired between 2011-2018. I'm bingeing it right now...partly because most everything is on hold, and I like to see Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan) wearing really tight pants. She plays a missing persons expert and former runaway who finds herself in a mysterious Maine town that apparently nobody is capable of or willing to leave. She's there at the behest of a little tyke named Henry (Jared Gilmore) who's convinced that only she can lift the town's curse, which has trapped all of our most beloved storybook characters and erased their memories. By the way...the town is called Storybrooke...get it? Anyway, the town mayor is a bitch with a very familiar story, played majestically by Lana Parilla. It's a weekly dive into the pages of Grimm, Disney and others...with Morrison solving one lovelorn case at a time. But what is the mayor hiding? Will there be a happy ending? And what's with all of these creepy but recognizable guest stars? The stories alternate between the history of the storybook times, and the present...usually concentrating on a particular character...ala Lost. It's fairly entertaining, even with its faults. It's a bit of fun to guess the story before its reveal. And there's lots of storybook cleavage. Not the shiniest star on the tree, but worth a look. It might be your type of thing. If you're with your girlfriend, though, it probably WILL be your type of thing. C+

That's nostalgia done right.

 

[tvstrip]

the second season of The Mandalorian.

Finished the season over the break. If you're a fan of the originals, the clone wars or the spinoffs, you will definitely enjoy all the references and cameos.

Spoiler

Bobba Fett, Asoka and Boca Tan

were really nice surprises.

But those pale in comparison to the season finale. I think it's safe to say that if you're even a remote fan of Star Wars, you will LOVE how the season ends. Disney fucked up the movies, but at least they got this right.
