Rewatching Foundation season 1. Seems to make more sense the second time through.

Throwing it back a decade (and change) and rewatching Castle (I think I only watched up to season 4 before, so it'll be like half a new show)! I forgot how much I missed the half-serious, half-fun writing of weekly episodes. It's a nice break from the constant intensity of most popular shows nowadays.

Finally watched The Bear. It's a good show but all the yelling and fighting was stressing me out. Not a show to relax to.

Finished Doom Patrol and Peacemaker, so now I'm watching Harley Quinn. And occasionally an episode of Jack Ryan since I finished Reacher and Terminal List. Probably start Warrior.

The Righteous Gemstones Season 3. It's still a fantastic time that blends a heavier dose of comedy up with some hints of Fargo crime and violence. If you've enjoyed previous seasons, I highly recommend this new one. For those that haven't seen it, it's the same Jody Hill/Danny McBride team known for Eastbound and Down and Vice Principals and brings that same tone while somehow going even further. The entire cast is so good at what they do it's worth it just to see them interact with each other, though the story is also as intriguing as ever.

Captain Fall on Netflix. An animated comedy from the team that made Norsemen. It was a good time killer but didn't reach the same laughs that their live action show would hit. Captain Fall was something of a mix of Archer and The Venture Bros. but rarely ever reached the high standards of either series. Still, there were some scenes that had me laughing out loud and overall it was a good pallet cleanser before watching something else. The voice cast has some big hitters with Jason Ritter (Dipper in Gravity Falls), Lesley-Ann Brandt (Mazikeen in Lucifer), Adam Devine (Workaholics, Pitch Perfect), and Flula Borg. If you want to give your brain a rest with an animated comedy before you start that new sci-fi series or psychological thriller, this might be worth checking out.

Just started Six Feet Under a couple days ago. Love it so far.

Severance. I was very impressed by season 1.

I just finished all 8 seasons of Homeland on Hulu. It was good - worth watching IMO especially if you enjoy political dramas as I do. There were many twists and turns, some I disliked, most I liked.

Miracle Workers! It's an anthology series starring Daniel Radcliffe & Steve Buscemi and it's enjoyable from start to finish - can't believe I hadn't known about it sooner!

Getting caught up on I Think You Should Leave.

I’m watching Foundation season 2, which is just as visually stunning as season 1! I’ve also just finished re-watching Good Omens season 1. With only six episodes, that really doesn’t feel like very much of a project. But it’s been lots of years since this came out. I’m surprised by how much I forgot about this show, considering I’ve watched it once and read the book.

I’m also slowly rewatching the 2004 Battlestar Galactica. Still a great show!

I'm watching Suits. Made it to season 6:
