    Finally got around to for all mankind. On season 1. This show is both a slow burn and edge of my seat, I don’t know how else to describe it, at least 6 episodes in

    Monarch. And so far it’s a disapointment for me. It’s not bad per se, but to me it commits the same mistake as the vast majority of kaiju media produced in the West: human drama that doesn’t build up or complement the kaiju threat.

    There’s no tension, no sense that those creatures are an existential to humanity. It’s mostly treated as a classic monster showcase, and that sucks :c

    I know things deviate from their intent over time, but the idea of representing the dread of nuclear annihilation through a monster that could come out from anywhere is so compelling on its own, that I don’t know why it’s completely abandonned in western media about kaiju.

    However, I wouldn’t be making this comment if the human drama was top tier I think. As it stands it’s serviceable. Not bad, but nothing great either. It’s kind of bland honestly.

    Anything on streaming services that cost less than $15 for 4K content and supports a family plan in multiple households still. So whatever isn’t on Netflix I guess lol

    For All Mankind, The Buccaneers, starting Monarch King of Monsters tomorrow night! That will be fun I think.

    Love FaM, Buccaneers is okay-good so far if you’re not worried about realism in costumes, etc.

    Finished Shrinking and Slow Horses this past weekend. They were amazing. Severance and Silo are amazing 🤩 Now I am watching Loot, it’s entertaining so far. I dip in and out of For all mankind. Tried but could not get into Invasion.

      I liked it!

      It was not a fast moving show though, I think some people expected more action all the time.

    All of the SciFi shows on TV+. If the other apps, integrated apps, count…. Max has Julia season 2 (season 1 was great, IMO). Watched an episode or two of One Tree Hill per day until we finished all 9 seasons. I’m watching Smallville, too.
