Percy Jackson is looking pretty good. It's exceedingly well-cast, both the adults and the kids. They're all plowing their way through the initial clunky exposition like champs.
Inara: Mal, this isn't the ancient sea. You don't have to go down with your ship. Mal: She ain't going down. She ain't going anywhere.

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 enshitification continues.
I swear, the temptation to go find my old buccaneer hat gets stronger every day.

The worst part about it is shows made for streaming don't have ad breaks built into their structure anymore. Not that it really matters, since every ad-supported thing I've ever tried to watch online breaks in with ads randomly in the middle of scenes anyway.

The fact that they're all actual teenagers with actual teenage voices is throwing me for a loop, too. Too many years of Hollywood casting 20-somethings as teenagers has ruined my brain.

Did anyone watch Fall of the House of Usher? I think I may have fallen in love with Mike Flanagan, and horro is not my cup of tea. But it is so good. And now I mainlined Midnight Mass. Wow- the acting and the writing are so good, and I just love seeing all the same actors. They are so good- like a repertory company.
