I finished up my 2021 movies binge to get my best of list out. Still more movies to see but you gotta draw the line somewhere. I am back to catching up on saved tv shows, Better Things, Killing Eve, Astrid & Lilly, Resident Alien, before I dig back into streaming.
I have also tried a couple new items. Welcome to Flatch which feels like it wants to be funny, not sure if it just needs more time. The Boys Presents the animated bit which didn’t do much in adding to The Boys universe for me. The Thing About Pam which I couldn’t bring myself to give a second episode. I have been hanging in for Law & Order though not with much enthusiasm.
