Fall Guy. Loved the first 75%. The end was a drawn-out action slog. Gosling is so good. I had no previous knowlege of Blunt but she was quite good, too. I bought the relationship.
Hit Man. liked it.
Furiosa, ughhh. Seemed like a really cheap cash grab off Fury Road. I didn’t buy the performance of the lead.
Dune 2. Pretty, but I didn’t particularly like it. I’m not into the book[s] so maybe I am not the target audience. Would much rather watch another season of Foundation.

My Lady Jane - unexpectedly enjoyable. The opening scene in E01 is oddly out-of-character for the rest of the series. Weird choice. Took me a while to place the actor who plays Susannah; she’s the lead in Extrordinary (which I have really enjoyed in the first two seasons).
still loving most of Evil. Three main chars are fantastic and I hope to see them in other stuff.
We Are Lady Parts S02. Still good, but not as good as S01.
Constellation. Watchable Sci-Fi, but not going challenge many brain cells. Loves me some Noomi, so maybe I’m biased.
The Boys continues to be excellent and gruesome. Never thought I’d have symapthy for Homelander. Not buying the new Firecracker char, seems like a less-charismatic Stromfront knockoff.
started watching Supacell; don’t know if I’ll continue.
