What I’ve been watching lately

Umbrella Academy: Everyone I know really digs this show and I like it quite a bit, I just wish it didn’t move at a snaaaaaaaaail’s paaaaaaaaace. ⭐⭐

The Punisher: I’m slowly working my way through this one since it was recently cancelled by Netflix which means this will probably be the last of the Jon Bernthal as the title character. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Project Blue Book: A decent show, Project Blue Book really plays with the truth as episodes of the series are based on real-life UFO events that turns out to only be slightly based on these events. ⭐⭐

I Am the Night: Six episodes into this one and I’m not sure there’s really a story here yet? ⭐

Corner Gas: I’m re-watching this Canadian sitcom on Amazon Prime and like it as much now as I did when I first watched it years ago. ⭐⭐⭐

The Passage: I had high hopes for this one and The Passage is alright if a bit stuck with the typical drama contrivances that seem to plague network series these days. ⭐
