Hamilton (2020)** (The mainstay of the liberal American white middle class to prove they can't be racist - I can see the appeal of this, its a good production)
Stargirl s01e08-09*
Agents of SHIELD s07e07'
Central park s01e08-09*
Paul Hollywood Eats Japan s01e01-03' (another push by the Japanese tourist board to show how exciting and open Japan is, just in time for the olympics... wait.. - ironically they all show very similar things, which not only makes it seem as though things are homogenous across the country, but gets quite boring, giving less incentive to visit - the host doesn't really help the situation)
Boruto s01e155-156'
QI s18e08*
The king of Staten island (2020)** (this was a good watch - this NEET thing is suddenly getting explored rather than ridiculed)
The Luminaries s01e01-06*' (not bad, although the premise doesn't really match with the story)
Journey to China the mystery of iron mask (2019)- (Was expecting the pro-China stance, wasn't expecting the pro-Russian stance too - so this movie was just bad on all fronts, acting, story, premise, CGI, pacing, lip-syncing (!), everything. They clearly had the money to bring in famous actors for about 10 minutes - should have spent that on making the movie better - it was like they film three movies separately and just glued it together. But I guess it doesn't matter if it was well received in China and made all the money.)
Palm springs (2020)*' (Not a bad rom-com, mostly it was about the whole Groundhog day thing - although like a lot of rom-coms, things get sorted in the last 2 minutes, with her suddenly realising that she loves him.)
Japan sinks s01e01-10*' (This got a lot of hate - it wasn't that bad. Some big pacing and constant animation issues, also the music was just weird given the tone of what was happening. I think the biggest problem was the unbelievable reactions to people dying - that and question why people were dying given so many other options.)
Close enough s01e01-15* (stereotypical millennial parents the show)
The old guard (2020)* (not bad, but for some reason expected this to be far more epic)
Snowpiercer s01e01-10' (other than the premise still not making sense, it wasn't the best show - felt cheap in many ways)
Tokyo godfathers (2003)**' (enjoyed this, so much story in such a short time)
Welcome to NHK s01e01-24** (when you start to hear your furniture talking, its time to head out of the house - wasn't the happiest about the girls story being explained in 5mins, which was far more tragic than his)
Millennium actress (2001)** (not sure what I was expecting, the non-linear aspect throws you off, but makes sense in the end)

2020-07-06

20/07/01-05

Agents of SHIELD s07e06*
QI s18e05-06*' (Its weird, but actually is not that bad without the audience)
Central park s01e07*
Warrior nun s01e01-10* (Did not start off well, direction and premise was all over the place - but got better as the series went on. That ending ruined it though.)

20/06/25-30

Agents of SHIELD s07e05*
Central park s01e06*
Last week tonight s07e17*'
The Salisbury poisonings s01e01-03*' (Had I watched this before March, this would have been so much more poignant - post COVID, were all experiencing lockdown and death (not to takeaway from that one death that happened) - its all a bit meh, and actually the residents annoying whining against their own safety echoes what's happing now)
Perfect blue (1997)** (was not ready for this - a good watch)

Agents of SHIELD s07e03-04'
Central park s01e04-05*
QI s18e02-04*
Last week tonight s07e15-16*
Stargirl s01e05-06' (Starting to turn into a teenage sitcom)
Marcella s03e01-08*' (Didn't have to pull of the first two seasons, still worth a watch)
Pokemon journeys s01e01-12*
The boondocks s01e01-15** (Decided to watch this given the times. Its really hard to recommend this show - its really made for a particular audience that understands and enjoys satire. This is an anime-style show that tries to tackle racism in both a realist and unrealistic way)
The boondocks s02e01-15**' (This was way ahead of its time, with very relevant topics for today)
The boondocks s03e01-15** (Although sometimes it pushes beyond the line with its racist 'overtones', which can feel like a miss when watching it)
The boondocks s04e01-10**

2020-06-15

20/06/12-14

Good girls s01e09-10*'
Good girls s02e01-13** (better season, they acknowledge that they are bad people)
Good girls s03e01-11*  (this does need to end with their deaths or arrest, or it'll end up as bad as Dexter)
Patema inverted (2013)**' (wanted to get back into anime, this was definitely a good start)

Brockmire s04e01-08*' (gets surreal, but a good end)
Workin moms s04e01-08'
MacGyver s04e01-13* (gets a little silly, but at least it was fun)
Blood machines s01e01-03* (come for the patronising futuristic 80s acid trip, stay for the awesome music)
Gary and his demons s01e01-16** (actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be)
Goods girls s01e01-08*' (wanted to watch for a while, its like someone phone over the plot to breaking bad, and changed some of the names to make sure they weren't caught cheating)

The real marigold hotel s04e01-04*'

QI s18e01*
Have I got news for you s59e09*'
Space force s01e01-10*
Westworld s03e01-08* (it turned into another 'AI vs humans' story, and not a very good one - others have done it much better)

20/05/20-25

Jojos bizzare adventure s04e09-39*'
Boruto s01e99-154*' (all filler until the time travel episodes, which was inevitable given the popularity of the original Naruto)

Jojo's bizarre adventure s03e01-39*
Jojo's bizarre adventure s04e01-02*
Solar Opposites s01e01-08*' (Basically an alternate universe Rick and Morty - to the point that the story could have just been implemented in Rick and Morty - not complaining)

The mash report s04e06*'
Outlander s05e12*'
Justice league dark apokolips war (2020)*
Treadstone s01e01-10' (I watched all the Borne movies before this (which went very downhill after the first one) - totally not worth it. This was bad, so many bad plot holes, chase scenes and tech (he made a directional mic using a phone and laser pointer! how? where's the receiver?), gets a half star for some of the fight scenes)
Jojo's bizarre adventure s01e01-26** (Been watching some crap recently, wanted something purposeful. Heard a lot about this - this was not what I expected. Its the most anime, anime I've seen. Extra dramatic, everyone is screaming, starts of as a period piece and gets super crazy. Not disappointed, will be watching this for a while.)
Jojo's bizarre adventure s02e01-16*' (I watched some dubbed clips after the subbed version, the voice acting in that was not great, such bad English accents which they end up losing in this season - the dub is too American - stick with the Japanese sub version, something is lost in translation.)

2020-04-16

20/04/16

Mortal kombat legends scorpions revenge (2020)*' (better than any of the movies)
Devs s01e01-06* (This started off interesting, but quickly descended into pseudo-science and bad philosophy - the Deus part was just cringe. The 'Hollywood' ending was bad.)
Chimerica s01e01-04** (A good watch, was about to get into preachy territory, but ended before it could - relevant in today's climate)

20/04/11-15

Undone s01e01-08* (an interesting half cartoon mash, like 'A scanner darkly', story was ok, if another season comes out, novelty will be lost)
This is us s04e01-18*' (good, but can't last many more seasons)
Saint Seiya knights of the zodiac s02e01-06 (the writing so bad, even for anime)
