Fairfax Season 1 recently appeared on Amazon.

It's a show about a group of kids striving to achieve popularity in a city where nothing else matters. After getting past the initial cringe, it's actually a pretty solid show with some good music and interesting characters.
Season 2 has been confirmed!

I finished watching Maya and the Three.

It's the story of a Mayan child-of-prophecy and her journey to defeat the God of War.
The first two-thirds has way too many weak jokes and giant noses. It takes away a lot of the impact of the more serious side of the story.
The climax is really impressive though, and the ending bittersweet. Worth hanging in through the rough parts to get to that conclusion.


F is for Family season 5 has come, and serves as a finale for this show.
An elegant bookend suggests that Frank might finally break the cycle.


Crossing Swords season 2 finally arrived.
Patrick's journey to become a Knight continues, despite a colorful cast of friends, family, and co-workers who do everything they can to make his task unbearably eventful.
Major cliffhanger at the end of the season and I don't even mind, because it's just so hilarious!

Centaurworld was... an interesting experience. Even having seen the whole thing now, I'm not sure I can quite nail down the town. It's got a surprising amount of effort and polish behind it, more than I was expecting from just seeing it in passing while browsing before. If you like weird animations that can be high energy, sorta fucked up, and musicals, definitely worth a watch I think. The soundtrack is certainly lodged firmly in my brain

Gen:Lock season 2 has concluded.

Wow. Soooooo much hate in the feedback from this season. Most of it seems to focus on popular characters being killed and the gray morals of political factions. But the show is basically a Gundam clone; I don't know why anyone would go in not expecting these things. Honestly, I think most of the hate really stemmed from the non-binary sex scene, which some people just aren't ready for.

Personally I enjoyed the season. My only complaint is that it felt rushed at times. In particular, one character turned suicidal seemingly in a single episode with no buildup, and then came out the other side with no apparent residual effects; that arc definitely needed more time.

Still, overall this remains one of my favorite shows, despite all the hate. I hope it gets renewed, though there is no news on that front at this time.

I finished watching the first season of Marvel's Hit-Monkey on Hulu.

The story of a Japanese snow-monkey who becomes a hitman, with the aid of a human assassin who has some serious Archer energy.
The premise sounds silly, but the story actually finds a way to make it work. Overall a fairly amusing show and worth watching.

The first season ends without any major cliffhangers, but somewhat open-ended on several fronts so there's room for more. No second season confirmed yet, but the show has been generally well received so I am optimistic.

I just finished watching DOTA: Dragon's Blood Season 2.

Lots of big, dramatic events, imo without sufficient buildup. I had trouble feeling connected with the characters or events when I could barely follow what was going on between half a dozen different groups of characters jammed into a half-hour time slot.
Even so, I did feel saddened when a popular character was killed off. And then another. And another...too many really. I feel like the better half of the cast got offed this season, leaving me little to look forward to if this show gets renewed.

First three episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina have appeared on Amazon Prime.
Three additional half-hour episodes are scheduled to release each week over the next three weeks, for 12 episodes total.

This series is based on a D&D campaign from the popular Critical Role web series.
Lots of mature humor. Expect nudity, gore, cursing, and general mature themes. It's not overplayed though; they get in a quick sex joke or violent action sequence, and then right back to the story. Healthy balance.

I rather enjoyed the episodes so far, and look forward to more.

I got around to watching the Cuphead Show this week, which I thought was decent.  I wasn't really sure what to expect, since I knew it would have to be different from the game in a lot of ways, but I think they did a good job converting the premise into an animated series.

I've read that a lot of people complained that the animation wasn't as good as the games, which is true, but I still thought the animation was great and nothing to complain about at all.

Where I wasn't really wowed was the writing.  It was all okay, but not as amazing as I was hoping for.  It got a few laughs out of me, particularly with the episode about Elder Kettle thinking they were going to murder him, but it just wasn't quite what I expected overall.  This is just the first season though, so who knows how season 2 will be?

Amphibia recently concluded.

After an epic battle between the forces of good and evil, Anne Boonchuy finally said goodbye to all her friends and life moved on. It's not the way I wanted to see it end...but it was executed very well, and I'm glad this show got proper closure.

Just finished Season 2 of Fairfax. This block is hot!

The second season gave us some backstory, explaining more about the origins of Fairfax. While at the same time moving things forward, giving each member of the Gang Gang some personal character growth, all in the midst of an epic clout war between new and old fashion moguls.

Third Season not yet confirmed, but the last episode set up the next big arc, so I'll be eagerly awaiting that next drop!

The second season of Amazon's Undone is out.

Where the first season focused on Alma's exploration of her past with her father, the second season brought Alma and her sister together to explore their mother's and grandmother's history. They learned about the events that shaped their family, did some meddling, and eventually saw it all come undone.

Much like the first season, I saw the ending coming from very early in the season. That didn't take away much of the impact though as it was all very elegantly executed.
For any fans of time travel and psychodrama, I wholeheartedly recommend this one.

I finished watching both seasons of Centaurworld.

The shows starts with a fairly serious story set in the middle of a terrible war. Our protagonist is then isekai'd into a magical world where the serious story gets hijacked by a herd of Spongebob-calibur wacky characters, and this bizarre dichotomy gets polished with some Disney-style musical numbers.

By the end, we get a nice complete arc for all of the major heroes and villains. I enjoyed it. But it's hard to say who exactly the target audience is for this odd mix of themes, and it would be difficult for me to recommend.

Primal season 2 episode 4 hits harder than it has any right to.

[delphonso]

I'm getting started with Primal and just watched insane monkey violence in episode 5. Loving the experience so far.

Infinity Train was just pulled from HBO Max and also Youtube; they aren't selling DVDs anymore either, I guess.

It's too bad, I just found out it was on HBO and had been planning to see it. I saw S1 on DVD some time ago when I wasn't paying for TV or anything like that.
