Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. The second season of the anime is out so you'll have a good number of episodes to munch on during the pandemic. There's almost 200 chapters' worth of manga as well!

With me “home schooling” the kids, I’m pretty up to date on Disney Channel and Nick Jr. shows.

Big City Greens is pretty awesome.  Or maybe I’m just decompensating.

So it turns out when Jim Croce wrote that song about Leroy Brown it was actually about Uthred Ragnarsson of Bebbanbure.

Just my two cents, but I'm hard pressed to think of a better program on Netflix right now than The Last Kingdom.  Every  season has delivered.  Honestly, I think it actually might be better than Game of Thrones.
Hmm, sounds interesting. Game of Thrones is dead to me after season 8, so getting something similar and good may help me wash the bad taste out of my mouth.
You’ll probably love The Last Kingdom! I like it more than Vikings. Less fantasy elements than GoT but similar gritty medieval storytelling

I think the reason I never started it was because it looked like Vikings. Vikings wasn't terrible, but it wasn't really worth keeping up with for me. Maybe I'll check it out based on these recommendations though.

I tried to get into Vikings but found it far too dull.

probably old news to a lot of people, but I watched part 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Money Heist.
Better than I expected it to be, although it got a bit formula-esque at points in part 3 and 4.

I give it a solid B+

The frist part was very good.. The second too but the ending was as you say formulaesque

The next two had some nice moments but it reminds me of prison break... It should end earlier..

I'm a sci fi guy, but for some reason had never seen Super 8.  The 2011 movie was written and directed by JJ Abrams and produced by Spielberg.  Pretty amazing CGI, especially a train wreck near the beginning of the movie.  Also, lots of good music.  If you like sci fi, it's worth watching despite starring a bunch of kids.

Watched Polar (Netflix Original) the other night.  Not high quality cinema or anything (action movies rarely are), but highly entertaining none-the-less.  I definitely didn't expect the twist at the end with the woman neighbor.

I really liked that show.  There is a new version out on Showtime, city of Angels. I have only watched the first two episodes, but it seems promising.

The last hour of The Plot Against America was really gripping.  It sucks that it was the series finale.

Since I have more time at nights, I have been watching a lot of different shows (one hour of show per night). These are the ones I have seen.

The Hunters (Amazon Prime)- Years after WWII, American Jews goes hunting for Nazis living in America. Loosely based on true events. Pretty good show with a nice twist. I'd recommend it.

Zero Zero Zero (Amazon Prime)- Different perspective of a major drug deal. It has the cocaine cartel gathering the product, the middle people in charge of bringing the product to Italy, and the Italian mafia and buyer. I like that is shows how globalized the drug trade is. Parts were kind of slow but overall, it was interesting. The theme music by itself is pretty amazing. I'd recommend it.

The English Game (Netflix)- Story about the early years of English soccer (1880's I think). It was Downtown Abbey meet soccer. The concept of the early game and the gentleman vs. working class was very interesting. I enjoyed the professionalization of the sport. However, there was a lot of drama and really slow moving (even for a 6 episode series). If you like soccer and history, I'd recommend it although don't bother.

The Counterpart (Starz)- Just started watching this show but it's a sci-fi about another identical dimension opening up 30 years prior. However, the longer time goes on, the more different each dimension is. Very interesting so far. JK Simmons is a good actor and the concept has me intrigued. Not done watching the show yet. Recommendation TBD.

Bonus: Extraction (Netflix)- Movie full of action. Not a Oscar worthy movie with great story telling, but cool action. Strongly recommend it as a mindless movie.
Baby Jesus!
