No witty remarks, just geting into it!
Streaming Series
Cobrai Kai S5 (Netflix)
Or as Mrs Dex has started calling it, Karate Soap Opera...and she's not wrong.
I really enjoyed it when it started out but it's just getting a bit silly with
all the drama now. How has no one called the police? Hopefully the series will
go out on a high note.
Slasher S2 (Netflix)
The story this season revolves around an incident that happened at a summer
camp five years prior. The way it unfolds between modern day and flashbacks is
really well done and keeps you guessing. The kills are on par with some some
of the best movies and they don't shy away from showing the violence.
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (Paramount+)
I'm an easy mark for anything involving 50s/60s culture but even I was thinking "Do we really need a Grease prequl series?" The answer is yes, yes we do! There's a couple of fun callbacks to the movie as well as the requisite teen high school drama and musical numbers. My minor complaint is that some of the songs sound like modern pop which feels odd in the time period. Not that the songs aren't good, just kicks me out of the setting a little.
Star Wars Visions S2 (Disney+)
I really got into this run of episodes. There were some I didn't like as much
as others but there was always something good about each one. This is a great
concept and I hope they keep doing new things like this to expand and freshen
up the Star Wars brand.
