Hm, I would need to rewatch the whole thing to decide that. Which I kinda want to do anyway. But I loved season 2 the most, I think? Which may or may not mean I prefer those versions of the characters. Hmm.

IF became available on Amazon Prime. I was impressed. Very affecting.
I started watching Heartstopper - so sweet, I clearly need to make time to binge it all
Heartstopper is delightful!
And so bingeable.
The past month, and most of the summer, I have spent an extraordinary amount of time on distraction. NYT and WaPo puzzles, and lots of streaming. We're talking probably 3 hours a day or more on puzzles with either music videos or streaming tv in the background. This and filling a big chunk of time listening or reading my current books.
The latest 10-episode stream was Nobody Wants This on Netflix with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. Checked all my boxes for easy on the brain entertainment. With a second season to come at some point. Woot! Two thumbs up.

I binged it so fast! It's so fucking good. Kristen Bell and Adam Brody have INSANE chemistry. (My favorite comment I read about the show — on Tumblr, of course — was "I haven’t shipped straight white people this hard in a long time." And it's true — I hadn't!) Also, I'm 110% obsessed with Morgan's (Joann's sister) hair. It's PERFECT.
I've also read a lot of criticism of stereotypes, particularly among the Jewish women, and while I obviously don't have that POV since I'm not Jewish, it sure did seem to me that they were riding those stereotypes kind of hard. I hope S2 is better about that.

I can't start my work day until I do a chunk of the NYT puzzles (Wordle, Mini Crossword, Letter Boxed [my current favorite], and Spelling Bee).
Wait, I have a subscription to WaPo but I did not know they had puzzles...
Mostly crossword, but also sudoku and some other puzzles.
The WaPo Hurdle is like Wordle on steroids. I do all the NYT dailies except the big crossword. I'm getting really good at the letter box, but I still suck at Connections. I am working on the archive to try and get my brain better at those. Spelling Bee I just do 10 words and go on because there are only so many hours in a day.
That said, we have to wait a year for more Nobody Wants This. Sad face. Mostly I watch shows that have multiple seasons in the can to avoid this issue.
eta: More seasons will result in more depth with the characters other than Joanne and Noah, which I want, a lot. I love Sasha and am still on the fence with Morgan.
