Apple TV has been on quite a roll recently with TV shows (Pachinko, Ted Lasso, etc.); the hit rate on Apple TV seems to be much higher than Netflix and most other streaming services, and Severance only brings this ratio up. The concept of Severance is an interesting thought experiment for real life. In the…
The Lincoln Lawyer recently came out on Netflix, and it has been on the top 10 charts for the past couple of weeks (when I was watching it was #3). The Lincoln Lawyer is based on a book by Michael Connelly of the same name, and there also was a movie starring Matthew McConaughey released…

Demon Slayer is one of, if not the most popular anime series right now. The first season is available to watch on Netflix already, but the movie and the second season haven’t been uploaded yet (they just came out a couple of months ago).

Jo Koy: Comin’ in Hot is a special episode available on Netflix. It is a recording of a show that Koy did in Hawaii, and it has to be one of the best standup shows around. I don’t watch a whole lot of standup comedy so I’m not the best judge of quality, but I…

Since I have started to watch anime recently, I thought it would be a good idea to watch the anime versions of some of my favorite Japanese TV shows (in most cases the anime actually comes out first). One show that I have previously recommended is Erased, which is a Japanese mystery/thriller show. The show…
Since I have been pretty busy recently, I have not had as much time to write new blog posts. While I am still constantly finding new things I love to recommend, I wanted to share some of my previous favorite recommendations. Over the course of this blog, I have now written over a year’s worth…
