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.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.

Thrive to spite them
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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I was really thrown by the awkward pacing and clunky writing of this episode. The whole business with Teva going to Coruscant and back, and all the holomessages, it was just... slow and weird.
Interested to see what happens with Bo-Katan, though!
