What Are You Watching

I watched the first few episodes of Blue Ridge: The Series on Amazon Prime. I then watched a few more to see if it could get any worse. The answer was "yes"... so much worse. But at this point, I can't seem to look away from the trainwreck!

Had a similar experience watching The Waterfront - first few episodes were unbelievably awful - ended up binging the series.

I have that on my watchlist to check out. Just finished Sketch Artist on PBS, only to find it got canceled on a major cliffhanger. Also just discovered yet another version of The Bridge (#5 unless I missed some), this one in Malaysia. The German-Austrian one (Der Pass) was pretty good

We haven't been watching a lot of tv this week. We did watch the first episode of the new season of The Great British Bake Off, where Nigella Lawson made her first appearance.

Some reviews from the recent Tokyo Game Show:

Spoiler:

There’s something uniquely captivating about this game. From sudden riffs of rock music to unscripted encounters, exploring its vibrant, kaleidoscopic world feels like living in an alternate reality. Surrender to the journey and let it surprise you.

///
Set off on a playful search to track down the wandering pup Polka in this game of exploration and serendipity. Meet charming characters, lend them a hand to make new friends, and explore a cozy world sketched in ballpoint pen. You don't need words on this adventure, just smiles and high-fives!

Studio Ghibli seem having been involved in Blue Miki, which looks as an aesthetichally RPG charm (by Netmarble, published by Level 5).



Some are very nicely hand drawn thought.

Hope it fits on a 240p/480p TV .

I'm watching the new series of The Great British Bake Off, Strictly Come Dancing, Only Connect, and Richard Osman's House of Games.

And that's just the terrestrial broadcasts.

I have also got addicted to Korean/Chinese/Japanese limited series romances on Netflix. The combination of an audio-visual movie with reading the subtitles just seems to really work for me.

So much so that I've hardly read anything recently.

I watched my first KDrama (and my first TWDrama) in 2013, my first JDrama in 2014, my first CDrama in 2015. As of right now, these are my viewing stats: Welcome to the rabbithole

We've caught up with The Great British Bake Off and Celebrity Traitors, my sister initially wasn't interested in the latter, but since I've been watching a lot of her stuff lately I thought it was okay to put this one on for me. Now she's more invested in this series than me.

We've also finished the first season of My Life is Murder, up next is Mobland.

In two weeks we're going on vacation so we'll have to decide what to watch when we're there and have enough that if a streaming service doesn't want to work we'll have alternatives.

Dororo on Tubi. It's an animated series based on the work of the same name by Osamu Tezuka. The main character is named Hyakkimaru, a ronin, who is on a mission to recover his missing body parts. When he was born, his father made a deal for power with demons. The cost of the deal was his son's body parts, which left Hyakkimaru basically a torso and a head. After being put on the water to die, he is found by a doctor who builds him a new body composed of mechanical parts. Hyakkimaru's mission is to find the demons who stole his body parts, destroy them, and recover his body parts.

I'm currently watching Real Time with Bill Maher.

Look Around You: It is a parody of British Educational TV series of the 1960s and 1970s. It looks very serious but when you as you watch the episodes you see that it contains massive amounts of humorous nonsense, such as 45 million is the largest possible number, water boils at 1,000 degrees, and bubbling nitrogen gas through water results in whiskey.

Carrie via Prime. Thought I was going to hate it but loved this new take on the IP. Summer did a fantastic job playing the lead.

I'll try to watch "Salad Mug - Dynamo Dream", on YouTube.

If you blink, you miss 3 months of his work

All 3d work in Blender (blender.org)

I'm watching NCIS, NCIS: New York, and NCIS: Origins.

A new show I'm watching that's really good is Line of Fire.
