I decided what the hell, I'd subscribe to Apple TV+ in time for
Ted Lasso
season 2 next month (I ahemed the 1st season and fell in love with it), it's only $5 a month, etc. While browsing their meager offering, I randomly decided to try
Mythic Quest,
about which I'd heard some good things. It's a work place comedy sort of like
The Office
but set in a video game development company. And what do you know, I really dig it, despite knowing nothing about role playing video games. The ensemble cast has terrific chemistry and over the first season, there are some very solid character developments.
I'm just about done with S1 and about to start the second season, which is ongoing. Gotta say, I love the 30 min an episode format. My attention span ain't what it used to be.
Mythic Quest had a rough start but I've started really enjoying it.
Yeah. First 2-3 episodes were kinda thin. Episode 5 (the standalone with Jake Johnson and Cristin Milloti) was outstanding, and things improved from there on. I just watched the quarantine episode last night and thought that was very strong as well.
Bosch season 7 has been released. "There goes the weekend," indeed.
The Mysterious Benedict Society
is the Wes Anderson inspired kids show that I’ve been waiting for.

More so than the Netflix version of A Series of Unfortunate Events? That was very Wes.
I thought that both Lemony Snickett adaptations were too hammy and campy. This show errs on the side of being too deadpan, which I think is the right call. And the production design is impeccable.

I can roll with that. What streaming service?
Disney+
Excellent. I saw that Raya is now available to view by non-premium subscribers too.
Plus I've got a backlog of Medium Good Recent Pixar movies to peruse: Onward, Luca, Soul...
