I have been watching Shrinking (★★★★★) this long weekend of mine. I have binged it just a little bit. The thing is, it’s easy to see why: I love dramedies, and this one is very well done. It also helps that every episode is merely 30 minutes long, and that it has a pretty good cast. For me, it’s perfect.
The series has the right combination of funny, gut wrenching, happy, sad feelings. And, well, all that is right up my alley, too.

This year, I have only watched one new movie worth my five star rating. Last week, I watched the second. I admit that “Project Hail Mary” (★★★★★) left me with a knot in my throat at least a couple of times. It was absolutely worth the $25 we paid for it—we bought it instead of renting it because it was $20 versus $25—and it’s one I will certainly watch again.
appletv movies oobieYesternight was “The Family Plan 2” (★★★☆☆) , and half of “The Family Plan” (★★★☆☆) , weirdly in that order, night. They were entertaining, and a good way to end an otherwise stressful day. Tonight we will finish watching the second—which was the first. Some might find that weird, I know, but it’s just business as usual around here.

appletv seriesFinished watching “Severance” last night. Had to renew for another month to watch the last episode, but $10 for all the available episodes was worth it. Can’t wait for season 3, for sure!
appletv series“Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me and only in me shall their stain live on. I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those with wizened hands. All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.”
Watching “Severance” (★★★★★) for the first time with the kid. We are using a week’s free AppleTV+ subscription from Amazon Prime, so it truly is an against-the-time binge. The series are awesome, and I wonder how come I didn’t see it before. All works out, though, as I enjoy watching series with the boy.
appletv seriesI am not a prude; I am far from it. Yet, I found “Foundation’s” amorous relationship scenes developing too early, too fast, and too often. Especially involving someone who is supposed to come from a planet with a repressive religious society. I mean, really?
If this isn’t toned down a little it will lose a star, or will not gain one. I mustn’t write in haste, perhaps, as I am only on the second episode.
