my Matilda
Everybody should have a Matilda! They're excellent.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

She-Ra is so good! I haven't loved an animated series this much since Avatar.
I've been watching it with my 11 year-old and we both GASPED at the cliffhanger ending of S2. Damn you, Noelle Stevenson!
(I think my favorite might be Mermista, mostly due to the Vella Lovell factor.)

I really liked The Dragon Prince. Do we know when there'll be more?

It was five months between seasons 1 and 2. Assuming they're on a similar schedule, as early as July.
On the other hand, the first season of Hilda came out about the same time as S1 of The Dragon Prince, September 2018. But season 2 of Hilda won't come until 2020.

I finally took the plunge on reactivating Netflix last night, and was pleased to discover I ran into none of the connection difficulties and buffering glitches that drove me from the service back in the days! Now to catch up on the new season of Lucifer and shows I've been wanting to check out like The Bodyguard, Jessica Jones, and The Santa Clarita Diet.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
All the Fleabag chatter has gotten me started on the show this week. Finished season one last night and just started season 2. That first ep of the season 2 is set entirely over a meal at a restaurant and is as perfect a biting comedy of manners as I've seen anywhere.
Andrew Scott (Moriaty from BBC Sherlock) as a hot priest is wrinkling my brain, yo. The relationship between Fleabag and her sister Claire is complicated and messy and AMAZING and is the heart of the show, I feel. But mostly, I really, really want Claire's sleazebag husband to get what's coming to him, except I'm not sure if this is the kind of show that gives you a payoff like that (Don't spoil me!).
Off to watch the next!
ETA: Matt, you have an open italics code in your post :)

Just finished Fleabag season 2. MY EMOTIONS. It is really, really good. I think I might like it even better than S1, which I liked a lot.

I'm about halfway through Fleabag S1 and I both can't wait to finish the whole thing and also don't want to be done with it because then there won't be any more.
