salineaI said I wanted to get back to posting here but actually posting is very difficult. I'm all out of habit for blogging regularly in a talking about myself kind of way.
Let's try a bit...
I've just finishing catching up on The Marvelous Mrs Maisel; which is overall pretty marvelous indeed. I didn't know at all what to get into except that it was kinda Jewish and it's been a delight. Less often laugh out loudly funny than one would except given the premise... more often being amused in the inside kind of funny. Sometimes hard to catch all the references (a friend had to tell me that Lenny Bruce was a real historical person. In my defense, stand up comics are one of the thing that the almighty imperialist American media machine exports internationally very little of, comparatively speaking). Although the most disorientating moment was seeing men and women sit side by side at a fancy synagogue. I found the series weirdly anxiety-inducing but I think that's mostly due to me being in a period of anxiety than really due to the story (depending on one's resistance to people throwing out money in stupid ways). The series is supposed to end this season in the next couple of weeks, so that's something to look forward to.
I'm gonna watch the first episode of S2 of Picard tonight; and I continue to enjoy the current Discovery season a whole lot.
Otherwise I've been trying to start watching Steven Universe (finally) and so far it's not grabbing me much unfortunately. I'm only 10 episodes in and a friend told me it was supposed to be slow until the 26th episode but still. Not sure if I'll manage to make it that far.
