Just had spring break, so I skipped going to the lab a bunch and watched Netflix instead.
Chiming on some recently mentioned:
Love Death + Robots, was really enjoyable. The fact that they’re shorts really gets your imagination going on the sci-fi/fantasy aspect; As cupcake boi said, I’m Sorry has got that curb “going thru daily life as a comedian” vibe. Love that show; Russian Doll is watchable, I think the main actress makes it funny most of the time; Losers is good. Failures are rarely recorded as the main theme, aftermaths are surprising/weird depending on the episode; Ballad of Buster Scruggs was super enjoyable. Again, short story format works wonders for building tension, releasing it, and bringing you back in, while leaving you some food for your imagination.
Things I watched recently:
I’m not from the US, but these CNN docs on different decades—particularly the '90s and '00s—are really eye opening to get a broad idea of the origins of contemporary popular culture.
I’ve also enjoyed Umbrella Academy, chill superhero comic adaptation with different vibe that Marvel+Netflix stuff; Sabrina was mostly cool, her character varies through the show tho; Altered Carbon was sick; yes I did like the new Arrested Development episodes—in too deep to not watch em (even if all the characters suck); Ozark drew me in a lot, complex characters in there; Luther bc Idris Elba is the fucking man.
If you like anime:
One Punch Man is my favorite available there (new season out April 2019! probs not straight to Netflix tho); both versions of Full Metal Alchemist are worth a watch imo; Attack on Titan is gruesome but filled with emotion, can get heavy; Sword Art Online I/II & Gun Gale Online were cool, especially if you’re into RPGs; now I’m watching Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, it’s aight, interesting postapocalyptic premise.
Spring break ended—time to get back to work...
