I started watching The Apothecary Diaries since I've seen lots of discussions post about it on here. I do like the series and how each treatment MaoMao does is treated like a mystery. But, there's a decent amount of anime BS in the series. I can tolerate it tho because it is a very interesting series.

The Gorge on Apple+. I liked it. Also Murderbot.

Two people protecting the most secret place in the world, the Gorge. It was interesting and imo I could have imagined it as a video game+video game story. Not bad. Plus Anya Taylor-Joy 😍

Sounds good! I just googled her she's a real head turner

Watched the F1 movie in IMAX a second time because my sister's fiancée wanted to see it (we watch races together). Story is as bad as the first time, but it really does not matter a bit. God that movie looks great and those racing scenes are just phenomenal.

After watching the outlander trailer I'm watching outlander. 2 episodes in and I really like it, it's easy watching

Catching up on old classics I missed, halfway through Cowboy Bebop.

Also the first episode of City: The Animation just dropped, and I'm already going to say that anyone who appreciates animation as a medium absolutely needs to watch this. The only thing better than Keiichi Arawi's art is the production values on display putting it into motion.

Started Murderbot this week, and we’re about 3 episodes in. Quirky, but I like it.

I watched the new Superman movie. On the 10th. Because Denmark gets Blockbuster movies earlier than the rest of the world for some reason.

It was... OK. But I have my gripes with it.

I've really not heard good things about it. It's not my cup of tea tbf

It's the most Marvel DC movie DC has currently. It does some good things, like Guy Gartner is spot-on, Mr. Terrific is pretty good (and about time he got live action), and Superman's respect for life is portrayed pretty well.

But Superman acts more like Superboy; like he's still learning... every life lesson like he was born yesterday. It's supposed to be his third year as Superman, but he's acting like it's his first three minutes. This movie probably would've been much better if this was a Smallville/young Clarke Kent movie rather than a Superman movie.

Yep I get that
