Ted Lasso (2020-2023) - I finally watched this and love, love, love it! An owner of an English football (soccer) team hires an American coach (Lasso) to deliberately drive the team into the ground in the hopes of getting back at her ex-husband. Ted ends up charming everyone. This show is just so feel-good in just the right way. It's refreshingly anti toxic masculinity.
Our Flag Means Death S2 (2023) - Stede and Bonnet are on the rocks, off the rocks, Izzy has an arc, things blow up, there's partying. The costumes are still historically inaccurate, but I like them.
Rez Dogs S3 (2023) - Such a great ending to such a great show. This season was all about being at peace with change and moving on. It's hard to even know how to sum this up. There's an episode about boarding schools that was particularly powerful. We get more backstories of the spirits and elders. And it was funny and heartwarming and... just really good.
The Afterparty S2 (2023) - I like the premise of this show: a mystery that takes place at an afterparty, where each person's version of events is told in an episode filmed in a unique style. I liked the first season better, but this one still delivered a mystery that kept me guessing until the end. There's a Wes Anderson style episode, and a heist movie one. Fun.
School Spirits S1 (2023) - This one sucked me in right away. A high school student goes missing, and she awakens in some sort of afterworld - stuck in her high school - as a spirit, and tries to solve her own mystery. Is she really dead? Where's her body? A dead teacher runs spirit support groups. Peyton List, the badass from Cobra Kai, plays Maddie well. I did not see the end of the first season coming.
