Please just try to provide fair warning of spoilers if you can.
I finished All of Us Are Dead. Quite an enjoyable show. One of the better Zombie series. I liked a lot of the twists, so often the story went in a different direction than what I predicted.
I like that they included so many scumbag characters.
I finished Peacemaker. Pretty good. I like James Gunn I think he’s a good writer. I don’t think any of his DC stuff has been as good as Guardians though.
I started watching Abbott Elementary and it’s pretty funny. It’s from a BuzzFeed girl. I think she left quite a few years back, but she was on there when I was a teenager watching those videos.
I'm catching up on Formula1: Drive to Survive on Netflix. With my NAS shitting the bed, I'm actually using Netflix itself for the first time in years. It's pretty handy.
I've never been into Formula1, but this series makes for an excellent primer. I watched three races from last season, too. I'm really looking forward to this season, even though I haven't decided which team is my fav.
I also started a rewatch of The Americans. I did a rewatch before the final season, but I'm excited to run through it again. It's such a tight series.
DTS is way better than watching actual Formula 1 :P
Its so good, right? I really want to get one season that follows the paddock, though. That seems like a logistical nightmare.
Oof. What's happening with it now?
Edit: Oh, just saw your GRUB issue. You can't seem to catch a break with that NAS, can you?
ha. this stuff -- I went to add some more drives and on the reboot GRUB was like 'kernel? that one? I don't think so...'
I ended up doing a fresh install, but I haven't done any setup yet. I want to make sure the important stuff is backed up before I try to fix the old one.
I haven't tested it yet, but I'm hoping that the controller lets me run the other drives in JBOD instead of having to do a bunch of raid0 setups or something. I don't know much about this part of things, but I've seen people mention it.
I'm a few years late to it, but I've been watching Con Man, which is a hoot. I first watched it when it ran on Syfy a few years back, but only got part way through the first season before they pushed it off to some other service, but now it's on Amazon Prime via IMDBtv with ads. It's a hilarious show, made better by knowledge of the many references it makes, but is also fairly entertaining on its own.
I started "The Righteous Gemstones," but have only seen the first episode. I like it, and was talking with my brother about how while it's a show by Danny McBride, he's not using it as a personal vehicle, which is great because there are a lot of great characters in it. I saw bits and pieces with my brother, and what I've seen so far was entertaining at the very least.
Saturday Morning All Star Hits is not amazing, but it gets nostalgia right. The animation is not just inspired by the 90s, it could actually have been made in the 90s. Even the aspect ratio is right. I don't like the live action bits, but I hated those in the 90s too so I guess that makes sense.
Pretty good show to chill out for a bit.
