Recently Finished:-
Night Sky - Season 1 (8 episodes) (Prime) - A decent, but ultimately too slow sci-fi show about an elderly couple that find a transporter to another world. Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons star and show why they are still acting, but it is a slow burn.
-
Shining Girls - Season 1 (8 episodes) (Apple+) - Another sci-fi show but this time centering around a different sci-fi topic and a totally different theme. One about a chasing a murderer. Not as slow as Night Sky, thankfully, and overall a much better show. Okay, maybe not MUCH better, but better still
-
Stranger Things - Season 1 (7 episodes) (Netflix) - To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this year's offering after Season three's less than par outing. I just didn't overly care for last season. Not that it was bad, but comparatively speaking it was just a tad off from what had came before. But damn, this season brought back the punch! An amazing antagonist and a harder edge brings this show back to season one form. The combination of movie and tv show homages is also really cool. The one thing that I wasn't aware of though... this is another of those two-parter things that are so popular now. I guess that way the companies can keep you around for another month or two.

- The Boys (Prime) Season 3 - On episode 1 (out of 8 ) - Doom Patrol (HBO) Season 3 - On episode 2 (out of 10)- Dark (Netflix) Season 1 - On episode 3 - A sci/fi (I think) show from Germany. Subtitles (I can't stand anything dubbed) that the wife and I tried a couple years ago when it first hit Netflix. It didn't orginally hit for us, or me more precisely so we stopped. I keep hearing about how good it is, so I am diving back in. It should be a good one if I can get past the first 3 or 4 episodes.
It is weird, the wife and I love international movies/shows from the UK, France, Korea, Japan, Spain, Iceland, Norway... well hell... all of Scandinavia, but for some reason I really struggle with shows and movies from Germany. Once I get going I'm okay, but I think as I don't do dubbed (I like to watch actors act and when the lips don't match the sound it drives me crazy) when I hear German, my ears perk up too much. It hits my head really hard. When it comes to being on the television... I struggle with the sound of the language. And that is not a knock on the German people

. It is NOT reflective of my thoughts on them at all, and it doesn't happen when I hear them live, in person, but when I am watching a show, my ears perceive the German "K"s and "T"s very harshly. And hey, sometimes that works great, like when whom ever is speaking German is the antagonist (the sharp edge of the language fits for me as a "bad guy" sound), but when there are soft moments in film, or scenes with kids, it takes me a few to get my ears to settle down, to stop "Stinging". Ha, I don't know why. I know it sounds odd, perhaps, but it is the truth.

Hell, I have even named all my dogs with a "k" sound (Tu
cker,
Cooper, Tee
ko and even little "
Kibbles", my moms dog) as I know how it hits my ears and I think it must be easier for them to hear it as well.
