The Boys .. one of the best shows. I agree with Mangler.. don't care that much for Frenchie... Homelander is fcking insane.
Finished Fallout.
It was okay. Kind of what I expected. Not a great story. Which makes sense because the games were more about the setting than a great narrative.
A little disappointing that they had the main characters end up in a vault again. That's just a less interesting setting than the wasteland. Feels like they didn't explore the surface enough. And they did leave out a couple of the iconic wasteland creatures .
But, overall, I enjoyed watching it.

I think they left your spoiler for Season 2.
Yeah, I assume so.
I just thought it was a little odd that they explore the wasteland, and other than the ghouls, the main creature they show was .
Ran across an article the other day regarding the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode, "Once More with Feeling." (Hulu, Season 6, Episode 7) I talked my daughter and wife into watching it with me. I liked it when it first came out but on rewatch, with another 20 some years of exposure to the genre, I was actually left quite impressed at how well done it was.
- First-time musical written by Joss Weedon (songs and story)
- Cast all sings their own parts, and only a couple of them have any musical background
- Episode is not a throwaway filler... it's integral to the story arc
- Songs all progress the story in showing what characters are thinking/feeling and often exposing those secrets to the group
I find myself listening to the songs again over youtube and playing in my head since then... the mark of a great musical, more than just a good episode. I'd recommend watching the one-off even if you have never seen the series, which is fully of clever banter that is a joy to listen to. If brand new to Buffy, the show does a decent job of trying to be self-contained, but can't hurt to have a few bullet points of past history/plot you might be missing.
1) At the end of the previous season, Buffy sacrificed herself to save the world. Thinking she had launched herself into a hell dimension, her friends used a spell to pull her back. She was not in hell, the opposite in fact, and she hasn't been herself since but won't tell them as it would just lay a heavy guilt trip on her friends. She hasn't been the same since she came back.
2) Willow has a magic addiction and her girlfriend is concerned. They argued. Willow cast a forgetfullness spell on her.
3) Anya (former vengeance demon) and Xander are getting married. Both are having reservations and harboring fears about whether this is a good idea.
4) Anya has a longstanding fear and loathing of bunnies
5) Giles, the watcher/mentor/father figure for Buffy, believes that she's using him as a crutch and his very presence is causing her to not develop and be able to stand on her own.
6) Spike, the vampire, has a love/hate relationship going on with Buffy. He started as a villain, but has been around and helpful for years. Soulless, but still struggling to be worthy of Buffy. Hates the torment.
7) Dawn, Buffy's little sister, is feeling neglected and has been stealing things in a cry for attention.

We also watch Evil. Yea waiting for final episode.
Elsbeth developed by Robert and Michell King from Evil. The actress is married to Michael Emerson (Leland Townsend.) Apparently the character is a spinoff from another couple of shows? Never saw those.
‘Elsbeth’s Carrie Preston Wants a Crossover with This 'Evil' Character
Carrie Preston also shares a story about overcoming her nerves while shooting a scene with Julia Roberts for the 2009 flick 'Duplicity.'

Any idea about the 4 bonus episodes they're talking about here? We watch on paramount+. Wonder if they'll be just streamable?
Katja Herbers, Mike Colter & Aasif Mandvi Hope There Could Still Be More ‘Evil’
Please don't let this be the end of 'Evil'!

Ahh.. found it
So basically, no more to find. Fear of the Unholy was 13, and the final will be 14.

Watched the final season of The Umbrella Academy. Didn't realise it was a short one so the ending was unexpected for me. Seems to be a lot of hate for the finale but it wasn't 'show ruining' for me like GOT. I'm starting over because the show was decent. I especially like the momentary glimpses of the whole group kicking absolute ass, like the beginning of season 2, right before the world ends.
Four months later, we're nearing the end of the series. Gonna watch Only Murders in the Building season 4 after that.
