So. Season 2 of #HouseoftheDragon has come to an end. Did I like it? Yes, I did. Sometimes even a lot. Do I think it was perfect? No, it wasn't, but at least it was consistently entertaining, and I found myself invested in almost every storyline (yes, even Daemon tripping otherworldly balls over in Harrenhal. Matt Smith can do no wrong in my book). Going into the story - not knowing a single tidbit of the source material - I thought it would be harder to pick a side in the upcoming conflict(1/2)

I really missed that anticipatory GoT-feeling where you know the shit is really going to hit the fan in the next episode. #HouseOfTheDragon

Just give #Shogun all the awards and then some... A near perfect show in all departments. Hiroyuki Sanada is a legend (not only) for this.

I didn't care for the first #Joker movie too much...guess that's not going to change for the sequel. It was well done & acted (even if it was just a verbatim copy of early Scorsese), but left me with a rather shrugging "why?" The film's popularity among incels and its mis(?)interpretation by some edgelords only added to my lack of interest/appreciation. I now hope that the sequel will challenge this audience to sit through what turns out to be a 2-hour Gaga musical. (no disrespect to Gaga).

Let's not kid ourselves. The race for the best-looking TV series of 24 is over. I don't think I've ever seen a series that looks as effortlessly artful as #Ripley on Netflix. Everyone behind (and in front of) the camera is giving it their all. Of course, the main plot is already known, so no big surprises here. If I had anything to criticize, it would be that the series is a little too leisurely at times. On the other hand, every scene is simply a joy to watch.

Generally happy that #TrueDetectiveNightCountry" sticked the landing. The mysteries that remained unanswered felt right, the answers that were given felt satisfying... but it still could have benefited from one more episode to flesh out some elements. Characters like Eccleston's police chief felt unfinished, as did the mining lady... And what was the deal with Killer Bob... errrr... Travis Cohle? But other than that: Great season.
