Also, then you should talk to me about my precious disaster muffins,
Happy to do so! My usual watching crew should be assembled next month, and I'll suggest the show. Say, is The Screaming Staircase a good starting point, book-wise, or is this one of those series that is best started with book 2+? (Like the Aubrey/Maturin Novels.)
The whole series (it's five books) has an arc, so you'll want to start with book one. Also, if you can get UK editions, do so. Insert grumbling about the Americanization of non-American books written in English here.

Also, you can do the audiobooks, which are NOT localized into en-us. (The first season of the Netflix show covers books one and two. If they get more seasons, the intent is to split the remaining three books into two seasons.)
(Seriously. I need adults to talk to about them.)
Audiobooks, eh? Hmm.
The show is both very different and very not? If that makes sense? It does in my head. They're both delightful, though, books and show. (And yes! Audiobooks! Very nice for when driving or cleaning.)
Ted Lasso: so episode 1 I was mostly just please the show was back and I got to hang out with these characters again, but episode 2 had me thinking "yes, that is what I come here for" several times as well as literal LOLling so that's terrific
Ok, I’ll look into the books. Thanks for the heads up on regionalisms.
The Mandalorian:
This season just feels kind of awkward. I think they know the story they want to tell, but the execution seems to be lacking.
So apparently The Armorer can just decide who has to obey the helmet rule?
Man, this Mando cult is feeling more and more culty.
Hey, it's Zeb from Rebels ! They sure love their cameos.
That was a weird reversal of policy. I don’t think I get it.
I wonder if it's a Bo saw the Mythosaurus and now The Armorer is rethinking how they live or something. I dunno. It doesn't feel like this really has any kind of plot or arc.
