any of y’all watch a good movie or tv show lately? what was it

rewatched all of DS9 over a while, its writing hits even harder in the current year

(apple shows but that can be worked around:) invasion, slow horses, shrinking

haven’t been watching a lot of series tho so limited bucket recommendation

I’ve been meaning to catch Adam Curtis’s latest but I just haven’t got around to it yet.

Trying to think of what ai’ve seen new lately instead of rewatched and drawing a blank. Edge of Darkness (the brit one) was quite good.

Watched Once Upon A Time in Space recently - pretty damn good documentary series.
She Rides Shotgun - basically Lone Wolf and Cub + Breaking Bad. I loved the novel back when it came out, the film is reasonably faithful to it.

The first couple Eko Eko Azarak movies. Grade-A B-horror Japanese schlock, main character is a Satanist witch teenage detective, more or less. Her goddamn name is Kuroi Misa (“Black Mass”), I love her so much. Perfect if you like brainless gore and non-irony-poisoned creepy movies for spooky week.

The movies are currently on Youtube in full. I’m also watching the 1997 TV series but after episode #3 you’ll need to speak Japanese. The movies are better than the series anyway (the first two at least, haven’t watched the others.)

Dr. Stone new season dropped recently, Golden Kamuy new season ETA early next year
The real housewives of Salt Lake City. I am not joking.
