Television Update
May have watched more television in the past couple of months than I did the year prior to it, random thoughts recorded...
Brooklyn Nine Nine S8
The Holt-Kevin arc was the best part of the season and their reconciliation was very sweet <3
Squid Game
Solidly entertaining entry in the death game genre. Sae-byeok was my favourite character. As usual with the genre, I enjoyed players trying to out-think the games and the behind-the-scenes workings of the games (uh, until the English-speaking VIPs showed up XD). Only real downers were the last couple of episodes weighed down by setting up a second season, and the obligatory "posh villain is gay and rapey to show extra sexual deviance" moment.
Ted Lasso S2
Fun watch! Less tight than S1, but sophomore installments tend to be like that. Everyone was great, except Nate, who was greatly terrible and you could see it happening from the start. Roy and Rebecca talking about how to interact with children was delightful. Loved Ted and Sharon bouncing against each other. Am happy no tabloids happened to Rebecca and Sam, for I was very stressed about that. (Now I'm only stressed about the ambiguous state of Roy/Keeley.)
Finally, I had far too many feelings about one (1) Trent Crimm, The Independent, and his final choice. What a thing to do! For Ted! Am going to dive into fics for this ship, probably.
Survivor: Pearl Islands
The pirate theme was super fun here. I was spoiled for the winner and a couple of the big moments of the game, but it was still great to see it unfold. They should bring back some of these challenges to replace the Nth copy of "do an obstacle course, then solve a puzzle".
