First is one of the better ones. It’s just a super simple story, it’s more like a teaser for what comes later. The last two books are fucking awful, the sixth one especially but the seventh is not far behind. Which is crazy because I actually wept while reading parts of the fourth, my favorite.
Movies seen over the weekend
Been watching the new Queer Eye. It’s been so beautiful, so far. Really soul healing stuff.
I started watching The Umbrella Academy now that Netflix has cancelled all of my favorite Marvel series. The first few episodes are really good.
We got access to a third streaming service and now we’re also watching The Handmaid’s Tale. I need 26 hour days.
Mahershala Ali was a great casting choice and I could watch him all day but the ending twist was weaksauce.
I really enjoyed Doom Patrol and once I was done with that I moved on to Swamp Thing. Unfortunately it’s not nearly as good (I was fooled by its IMDB score). Now I’m halfway through the first season and I’ll probably power through the last episodes.
Best videogame adaptation to date. There’s even an after credits scene which makes me giddy for more.
