Media Diet: February 2023

Lots of stuff started this month but not much finished! It’s really been the year of incredible TV shows. The Last of Us and Party Down have been welcome additions to Shrinking and Poker Face. Going to have lots to write about when they all finish!

🎥 Uncharted - I thought watching this on a plane would make it suck less… (C)

📺 That 90s Show - I thoroughly enjoyed That 70s Show and this is a nice light continuation. Nothing magical or special, but easy watching. (B+)

🎥 Strange World - All the recent Pixar and Disney releases have been underwhelming and this continues that trend. (B)

📺 Family Law Season 1 + 2 - I may be biased because i’m a Jewel Staite fanboy AND it’s shot where I live in Vancouver, but i’ve really enjoyed this family drama! (A)

🎭 Pete Holmes - What a fantastic show and a great human being. (A)

🎭 Joe Pera - A giant weirdo but if you enjoy his style, you’ll love seeing him live. (B+)

🎭 Patton Oswalt - Another comedian I’ve been wanting to see forever and put on a great show. (A-)

📺 Clarkson’s Farm Season 2 - Despite all of Jeremy Clarkson’s fuckups lately, this is still a solid piece of television. (A-)

📚 Blitz (The Checquy Files, #3) by Daniel O’Malley - This series continued to go downhill the more I read of it. (C)

📚 Montego by Brian McClellan - Great little prequel to Glass Imortals. (A)

📺 I Hate Suzie Too (I Hate Suzie Season 2) - I’ve loved Billie Piper forever and I think this is her strongest performance yet. What an incredible continuation of I Hate Suzie. (A+)
