This sorta fits into both TV and Movies but I recently rewatched the entirety of Andor (2022/2025) and Rogue One (2016).
**** Potential spoilers ahead! ****
I had downloaded the whole Andor series to watch while I was flying to/from Japan and I finished the whole show on the plane. I then watched the movie a few days after I arrived home. Of Andor season 1, season 2 and Rogue One, season 1 is definitely the strongest here. It doesn't rush anything, story lines and characters have amazing progression, and the cinematography is top notch. Season 2 is still good, but it can feel rushed at times. You can sorta see the original vision of having 5 seasons of Andor, one each for the 5 years before the Battle of Yavin but things had to get whittled down. Rogue One is, rather unfortunately, the weakest of the three here. The cinematography, while alright, feels dull compared to the show and I think the story feels a bit rushed. Overall a decent end to a fantastic series.
Rogue One is my favourite Star Wars movie and Andor is my favourite Star Wars media overall. And yeah it's definitely curious to have watched that movie a dozen times already, then go to Andor and watch the changes, and then afterwards watch Rogue One once again - those differences really do quite stand out!
Sounds like a great way to spend time on those flights.
My sister convinced me to watch The Traitors: Australia. i feel for this one girl who claims to be psychic. i’m only two episodes in… and i don’t really believe in that stuff… but she might actually be psychic. if she can convince the others to vote with her, she’ll be a legend.
if i were psychic, that’s the last thing i’d tell the group, though.
anyone ever been in a game show of any type?
At home re-watching The Good Place (NBC, 2016) sharing it for the first time with my teen kid.
If you're not familiar with the sitcom, the premise is that Eleanor Shellatrop, Arizona dirtbag, has died and gone to The Good Place, but she knows there's been a mistake and she's not supposed to be there. Her options are to try and pretend and blend in, or face eternal torture at the other place. Strong writing, fast paced, funny characters.

We're nearing the end of season 3, which is where the humans are ending their time on earth. I honestly forgot where the show is going with this after this point, until the finale ending.
:D it's so nice sharing old things with someone going in blind! The show really did deliver some of the surprises well, the biggest ones being (1) the Bad Place reveal (2) Michael asking everyone to throw themselves under the trolley and (3) "I solved it, I solved the trolley problem!"
I am loving the new season of The Night Manager so far. It's a show that I didn't expect to come back and I am enjoying more of the spy genre after Slow Horses. It's more serious and the performances are excellent.
