Shōgun Series Review (Season 1)
The land of the rising sun has often captivated many foreign audiences both past and present, resulting in a wide range of cinematic titles. The likes of The Last Samurai and 47 Ronin have already portrayed feudal Japan to varying degrees of success. From both a dramatic and historical perspective, Shōgun stands head and shoulders above many of its peers, a masterclass in portraying an older culture.

9-1-1
Season 2 of 9-1-1 definitely found its footing. Season 1 was so shaky I definitely didn’t have much hope for it. But luckily it looks like in season 2 they stabilized their writers room, this absolutely improved the quality of the writing and the viewing experience as a whole. I am fully convinced that Buck is super gay and no one can convince me otherwise. I am in fact not crazy because tumblr has validated all of my feelings. Now if Eddie isn’t gay I will riot because that is insane. Those two have more romantic chemistry with each other then they have ever had with any woman they interact with on screen. The season finale of season 2 was weird and kind of shoehorned in but it did end with our couples getting a happy ending. Maddy and Chim get together and Athena and Bobby get married.

MCU Rewatch
As a companion series to An Idea of All Time my husband and I decided to rewatch all of the MCU movies in chronological order. This serves several purposes; 1) there is going to be a bit of an MCU drought for the next year as far as new releases go. 2) We want to properly place Shang-Chi in the MCU not just ranking it by quality but contextualizing it based on the existing universe. 3) We want to analyze how many of Shang-Chi’s problems are project specific and how many are MCU bred. So in addition to watching Shang-Chi every week we will be watching another MCU movie every week. We are of course starting with Iron Man.

Game of Thrones
It has been 5 years since we were subjected to the shit show that was season 8 of Game of Thrones and still fans are bitter. What could have gone down as one of the greatest shows of all time instead concluded as one of the worst. It is impossible to watch season 8 and think that anyone’s ending was acceptable. The writers did a great job of assassinating every single character…even the ones I hated. So we are going to go ahead and list every single thing wrong with season 8.
