So, while Ted Lasso continues to be my favourite show currently airing (and I may have watched t through from the first episode half a dozen times), I've started watching Cobra Kai, and I'm finding it's got a lot of heart, and I like the way it hits a lot of the same notes as the original movie while changing motivations and showing how the older generation have evolved.

I'm also enjoying TWD more than I expected, although I the highlights for me have been things like learning what happened in the subways during the Fall; I'm not particularly interested in the Commonwealth, but I'm delighted that the story's continuing to include Princess, and the casting choice was absolutely excellent.

While I wait for the new season of Lucifer to start, I've rewatched the Good Place, watched Black Summer S2, Kingdom S2, and started watching the Nanny for the first time since it aired here. I don't think I saw that many episodes when it was first airing, but the wasabi joke is one of the things I still remember after all this time. I'm not sure some of the jokes have aged particularly well, but it's still an entertaining show that's made me cackle more than once...

I have found Cobra Kai to be hitting a kind of middle ground -- good enough to keep watching but not enough to be enthused about it. In some ways I think we've been waiting several seasons to hit the point where it left off.

I look forward to S2 of Ted Lasso. I expect to resubscribe in January.

I think with Cobra Kai, it helps that I can marathon several episodes ina row on Netflix; I'm not sure I'd have the patience to keep watching if it was just airing an episode a week.

I've found S2 of Ted Lasso to be really good, although that's a character whose plotline is making me uncomfortable, in that "this feels familiar and I think I know where it's going, but I can't stop watching it" way; it feels well-written and in character, while being uncomfortable to watch.
