  • I just finished the season finale of Bad Monkey.

    It was well worth the time spent and I encourage anyone with access to an apple tv+ login to consider it. Similar to a Hot Fuzz set in the Florida Keys, with the difference that the protagonist is a local instead of a transplant. There are still a lot of colorful local characters.

    It was a single season of 10 episodes, based on a book. The author of said book apparently has, among his lengthy bibliography, at least one other novel featuring this same protagonist with an unknown number of the side characters. Not a sequel or a prequel, but another story in the same universe.

    At first I was unhappy with how some of the characters plot lines resolved, but in hindsight they get endings that make sense within the universe.

    I would absolutely be up for a rewatch in a year or so.



  • I’ve started the new season of Halloween Baking Championship. Gf and I watch it while eating dinner, so it takes two or three nights to finish an episode.

    We are partway done with the first episode. It’s a small sample size, but none of the bakers is nearly as impressive as the winner from the previous season. Said winner (Hollie) started off a little shaky but most of the season was a blowout, with Hollie winning an absurd number of bakes. She’s strong enough we think she would’ve won handily on any other season of the show.

    We’re also two episodes into season 1 of Shitts Creek. Of the family members, I like the dad the most. The motel clerk (Stevie?) is my favorite one of the townies. So far it feels like Arrested Development but in rural Canada instead of coastal southern California. Feels like there is some humble pie coming for the Rose family. No spoilers, please.
