May 2026
Scorpion - Final	That's it! I'm out. This stupid show got too effing stupid for me. I'm shutting it down pre-S2 ending. Just the worst writing.
April 2026
Scorpion - S2	This is a show about super-geniuses written by morons. Having any knowledge of the scientific world makes this an exercise in frustration.
March 2026
Scorpion	Cheesy savant adventures. Very silly and pleasant to watch
February 2026
School Spirits - S3	I can feel this story going sideways. Too many new lore drops.
January 2026
Starfleet Academy	Really pretty fun and surprising.
December 2025
Watson	Bizarre reimagining of Sherlock Holmes lore. Inorganic writing. Feels like someone dumb trying their damnedest to write clever characters.
Matlock	Kathy Bates is great but the writing is... shaky.
Ghosts au	Gave it a few eps but it's not much better than the US version.
School Spirits	YA murder mystery is surprisingly compelling.
November 2025
Star Trek - TOS	I'm surprised by how thoughtful this is. Kirk is much more measured than the zeitgeist gives him credit for.
Strange New Worlds - S3	Handful of good episodes make this worth staying with.
Ghost au	Feels a bit more coarse then the original.
October 2025
Not Dead Yet	Average supernatural comedy. It's fine I guess.
Rick and Morty - S?	Most recent one. Can't really remember it. Fine I guess.
High Potential	Standard 'super genius helping cops' show. Above average and pleasant.
August 2025
Only Murders in the Building - S4	Starting to show the seams but still fun to watch.
Doctor Who - Nguti S2	A handful of watchable episodes. So much better than the last five years.
July 2025
Invasion	Starts slow which is nice. Stays slow which is more-so annoying.
Shrinking - S2	Absolutely self indulgent tripe. Ended up hate watching it.
June 2025
Lower Decks	Finally this series has clicked with me. I'm enjoying it a lot more now that I've separated it from what I think make Star Trek so important.
Shrinking	It's decent.
Stick	Love a good golf story. Or even a mediocre one.
Murderbot	I'm loving this show. Not sure why. It's nothing special but it scratches an itch for me. I wish I could binge the whole thing.
Time Bandits - Remake	Has its moments but isn't really anything special.
May 2025
Silo - S2	Good, if a little slow and harrowing.
Mythic Quest	Started a bit clunky but I've settled in and am enjoying.
April 2025
Severance - S2	Very satisfying end to the season. Feels like something special.
March 2025
Pantheon	This has started out really strong. I'm very excited about it.
February 2025
If I Hadn't Met You	Some well acted ideas with some truly woeful writing. A multiverse story that relies on its characters being idiots is an exercise in frustration.
Asura	Japanese family drama. Oddly charming. Nice change of pace from the Hollywood slop I've filled up on.
The woman in the house across the street from the girl in the window	Is supposed to be a parody but doesn't land the jokes. Instead it's just a terrible terrible waste of time.
January 2025
The Umbrella Academy -S4	This was pitiful and nonsensical. It makes me feel dumb for having enjoyed the first season. Like a prank has been played on me that wasted nearly 36 hours of my precious time on Earth.
Voyager - S7	Really satisfying show. Wish there was an epilogue. Janeway is my favourite captain.
December 2024
A Man on the Inside	Charming little story with a lot of heart. Ted Danson is a joy.
November 2024
Agatha All Along	There was one episode that stood fairly strong. Made it worth all the slop.
October 2024
Agatha All Along	This show is terrible. About as interesting as watching your high-school bully do a succession of escape rooms.
September 2024
Voyager - S4	You can see the speed wobbles. Philosophical ideas are getting pushed aside for bombast.
August 2024
Dimension 20 - Fantasy High	Dropouts biggest show is fun and interesting and laugh out loud funny. I'm so excited to have so many episodes ahead of me.
July 2024
The Boys	Hyper violent dark satire. Equal parts confronting and hilarious.
The Rookie	Lacks that Nathan Fillion bravado.
Voyager	This just goes from strength to strength. Thoughtful and enjoyable sci-fi.
June 2024
Doctor Who - Nguti	It didn't really get better. Really leaning into being a kids show.
Star Trek Voyager	First episode is silly 90s nonsense. I suspect there will be more of the same.
May 2024
Lupin	Trite but pleasant gentleman thief story.
Doctor Who - Nguti	Fart engines and unjustified dance numbers. Probably too absurd so far.
The Drop Out	Interesting enough I guess.
April 2024
The Silent Sea	Very engaging South Korean sci-fi.
Reboot	Nice. Sad to see it was axed after a season.
March 2024
Reboot	Good cast. I'm warming to it.
Extra-Ordinary	Half episode. Lame UK smutty humour.
Last Man on Earth	One episode. Nothing special.
February 2024
Carol and the End of the World	Quiet animated drama that I really adore.
The Bear	Compelling dark comedy. Not super funny but it's dragged me in.
January 2024
GameChanger	Game show on Dropout. It's hot or miss. When it hits it's great.
Doctor Who - Nguti	Seems a bit more fun. Hopefully there shall be some joyful moments.
Ghosts - S5	Satisfying. A wonderful experience.
December 2023
Only Murders in the Building	Pretty delightful. Steve Martin is a joy to watch.
Loki - S2	It's not anywhere near as compelling as before. I keep noticing bad storytelling.
NCIS Sydney	Hilariously predictable copaganda. Rubbish.
Ghosts - S4	Still going strong
November 2023
Picard - S3	We skipped the first two seasons on advice. This one still isn't great but has some nice moments.
Strange New Worlds - S2	Wonderful thoughtful stories. Could do with slightly less punching.
Unstable	A story about trauma and genius by people who have experienced neither.
Rick and Morty - S7	This show has settled into a consistent groove, which probably is a bad thing.
October 2023
Bodies	Pleasant little mystery box show. I expect it to be unceremoniously axed.
Dead to Me - S3	Puts a bow around it. Nothing mind blowing but successfully completed story.
Wellmania	It's a basic Oz comedy. Nothing too life-changing. Fairly good acting from the lead.
Killing it	Pleasant series. Fun characters.
September 2023
Mr Robot	Introducing my wife to this. Such a fun watch.
The Big Door Prize	It's fine. Nothing special.
August 2023
Silo	Wonderfully paced mystery box. Lovely world building.
The Afterparty S2	They've found their feet and the genres are feeling much stronger.
The Afterparty	Intermittently amusing but the conceit isn't pushed hard enough.
July 2023
Severence	This is so eclectic and novel. I'm totally engaged.
Ted Lasso	Really enjoyed seeing this wrap up. Felt real nice.
Modern Family	Up to S3. I think I hate this show. I definitely hate Cam and Mitchell.
June 2023
Colin from Accounts	It's fine but i don't see what the fuss is about. I do like Patrick Brammall though.
Deadloch	I'm finding this has excellent comic timing. It's very Australian but that works for me.
Night Agent	Truly cheesy spy drama. Actors are okay making it vaguely watchable.
May 2023
Lucky Hank	I'm loving this so far. It's clever and cynical and heartfelt. Good gosh it's good.
Upstart Crow	Second Rate Blackadder
Sandman	A bit fantastical but some really good human stuff as well.
April 2023
The Madalorian - S3	It's starting to feel a bit more generic Star Wars and that's not really a good thing.
The Last of Us	Very compelling and I usually hate zombie stories.
March 2023
Atlanta	Compelling
Modern Family	Seems a bit trite but it's good enough to give a go.
February 2023
Still Taskmaster	This show is such great fun. I'm up to season 8
Wednesday	Starts a bit teeny but finds its feet fairly quickly.
Poker Face	I'm really into this amateur detective show. Someone said it was like Columbo. I agree.
January 2023
Irreverent	Pretty compelling drama. I'm into it.
Parks and Rec	A little bit of bubblegum while I heal.
December 2022
The Peripheral	Grim time-travel adventure. Not enough levity and so much violence. Cool world building though.
Rick and Morty S5b	Really solid series. Looking forward to rewatching it all.
Ted Lasso - S2	Nice to revisit these characters.
November 2022
Andor	It's a bit grim for me, but it is holding my interest.
Taskmaster	Wonderful bubblegum.
Andor	A bit slow, but that's better than overly frenetic.
Cobra Kai - S5	What a great resolution. Made me cheer. Still cheesy. People love cheese.
October 2022
Cobra Kai - S4	If you can accept that everyone in the town is karate mad then it's an interesting cautionary tail about violence.
She-Hulk	Fun meta humour and other lightheartedness. I'm kind of into it.
September 2022
Cobra Kai - S3	It just gets cheesier as you go. But that's what it says on the tin :)
Lost in Space -S3	This show is pretty cheesy but I'm super invested. Can't recommend it enough.
Brooklyn 99 - Finale season	Better than I'd hoped. A couple of very politics heavy ones but a satisfying result for all characters.
August 2022
Locke and Key	Complex and tonally yoyoing.
Ms Marvel	Actually kind of interesting to watch something from cultures I'm not usually exposed to.
Billy the Kid	It's kind of fun to engage with this genre. It's pretty compelling.
July 2022
Stranger Things 4	Too little poltergeist, too much Hellraiser.
The Umbrella Academy - S3	Wonderful world to drop back into.
May 2022
Strange New Worlds	Seems really fun. Charismatic cast. Clever stories. I have high hopes.
April 2022
Brooklyn 99	Watching random episodes because we need something reassuring.
February 2022
Peacemaker	Fun. Binge watched it over a weekend.
January 2022
Star Trek - DS9	A bit less thoughtful than Next Gen but has some decent sci-fi conceits in there. Characters aren't as likeable yet.
Ghosts	Delightful British humour. Feels cozy.
December 2021
Hawkeye	The more intimate Marvel shows seem to be the more compelling ones. Hope it sticks the landing.
Star Trek - Next Gen S7	We're almost to the end. It's so nice to fill this hole in my pop-culture knowledge.
November 2021
The Movies that Made Us 3	Fun pop culture doco
October 2021
Star Trek - Next Gen S6	Still plowing through. Still good.
Pretty Smart	I make it 8 minutes into this terribly written sit-com.
September 2021
Rosehaven - S5	Only two episodes left. I'm going to miss these guys.
Rick and Morty - S5	It often feels very frantic. A couple of decent episodes and one terrible one.
Star Trek - Next Gen S5	There are still many gems in this show this late in.
August 2021
Star Trek - New Gen S4	Still solid with a couple of really great eps.
Hacks	Very average. I can't see why people love this. Still some episodes to go. edit: It got much better.
July 2021
The movies that made us	Well made stuff. Makes me happy.
Star Trek - New Gen S3	Lots more character driven drama at the expense of the sci-fi. Still fun to watch but misses the Roddenberry touch.
June 2021
Rick and Morty - S5	It's back baby! And still such high quality. I'm waiting for the other boot to drop.
Star Trek - New Gen S2	Such strong writing. Still really into it.
Loki	Episode 1 makes me excited for episode 2.
May 2021
Star Trek - New Gen	Still churning through this series. I could be here a while.
April 2021
Star Trek - New Gen	I can't believe it's taken me this long watch something I think is so great.
Brooklyn 99 - Series 7	So pleased to be back here. Bubblegum for the brain.
The Orville	For a series set in the future by a notorious 'leftie', it pushes some really 1990s social politics. Not good.
March 2021
The Orville	Halfway through S1. Pleasant but flawed. I hear season 2 kicks off though.
The Mandalorian S2	Still wonderfully slow paced and engaging.
WandaVision	Nice reserved pacing. Pleasant mystery.
February 2021
Ted Lasso	A story driven by kindness. Totally my bag.
iZombie S5	I found myself looking forward to the end and when it came it mostly stuck the landing.
Ted Lasso	Watched the first 4 eps. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the rest.
iZombie S4	The procedural elements have fallen by the wayside and a tornado of hubris has scooped the show up.
January 2021
iZombie S3	Still enjoying this. It doesn't seem to be collapsing under the weight of its lore yet.
Doctor Who: Rev of the Daleks	As disappointing as ever.
The Watch	I leaned into the massive changes they had planned and I'm into it. Looking forward to the next ep.
December 2020
A Moody Christmas	Australian Cringe-Comedy. Good performances and great to watch.
Dark	Binged the final season. I really got into this complicated mystery.
iZombie S2	I like the procedural elements. The arc, less so.
November 2020
The Great	A bit too low-brow for me.
Emily in Paris	Tried to watch this to make fun of it but it's so lackluster. I feel dumber for having watched the pilot.
The Queen's Gambit	50 Fashion, Chess, addiction. This is my bag baby. Really enjoying it.
Connected	Goofy pop-science. Pleasant bubble-gum for the mind.
Dark	Still watching.
Schitt's Creek	Final Series was absolute twaddle. By the finale we were just hate-watching.
September 2020
Dark	Creepy mystery. Okay so far.
Schitt's Creek	Dry humour.
