As more opinion pieces about the new Fallout show pop up, the more I want to watch it. I resist it because I’m already watching too many good shows. đŸ“ē

My current quick break show: Delicious in Dungeon:

Recommended by Nat, this is a weird but fun one. It combines two excellent things for a quick break: Dungeons and Dragons, and food. The episodes are short (around 20 minutes each), so this is good for a quick “mental snack” (sometimes combined with an actual one too).

My current sit-down-and-enjoy show: The Mandalorian:

This one’s not new, but somehow I haven’t heard about it until recently. I finished watching the first season, and I’m ready to start the second. This is the way.

Date night with NK show: X-Files:

This show needs little introduction. We started watching it together about two years ago, and we’re in season 6, after the movie. The show is great to re-appriciate; the complicated connection between Mulder and Sculley makes me appreciate the show today in a different way than I did when I watched it back in the day.

Vent & talk with Nat show: Blue Eye Samurai:

Unlike the obvious choice of X-files with NK, this one was more of a “let’s take our chances” show with Nat, as our Venn Diagram in terms of shows is a bit narrow. There’s much to like here: action, depth, violence, sex, friendship, and an interesting plot.

Hangout with Nyx show: Black Books:

The only show that makes me laugh harder than Black Books is The IT Crowd, which you probably heard of (and if you liked that one, I recommend Black Books). It’s beautifully sarcastic, takes place in a bookshop, with plenty of mentions of alcohol and cigarettes. Can’t go wrong there!

Maybe show: Fall of the House of Usher:

I want to like this show, but I can’t follow it enough. There are too many flashy characters with their own stories, a plot with a tricky timeline, and then there are twists and turns. I need to put work into this show (read synopses, write notes) to keep track, and while I’m OK with it sometimes, I don’t feel like it for this one. We shall see.
