I'll watch that! Looks like Paramount is involved for distribution, so maybe it will be available on Paramount + here in Canada.

King of the Hill is once again A Thing. I wasn't big on this show as a kid; I think I was hoping for another Simpsons going into it, but it's simply a completely different kind of show. I didn't get it back then. Later as a young adult I began to properly appreciate Mike Judge's work.

Anywho, this new season, premiering some 15 years after the original show was cancelled, involves a time jump. Hank and Peggy are retired, and Bobby is 21. It sounded like a recipe for disaster to me, however I have watched the first three episodes, and it's pretty damned good. No chance I won't finish the rest of the 10-episode run very soon.

The series "Paradise" on Hulu is a very entertaining drama, murder mystery, dystopian alternate human future kind of multi-episodic movie. It's little jumpy between past events and current and sometimes it's hard to know which is which.

I’m rewatching Game of Thrones, much to my surprise. Had a craving, and you can get second-hand DVD sets on the cheap what with the show being

Spoiler: No way this needs a spoiler tag but just to be on the safe side…

such a colossal disappointment.

It’s fun to rewatch, and so great to hear Ramin Djawadi’s score all over again. I might just stop at the end of season 6 because that ending is incredible.

B5 is something I've really been wanting to see, but I'm not sure where to get a hold of it in my region. That and what's it's face, Battlestar Galactica? I made it a few episodes into that, seemed really promising. I just broadly speaking need my life to consist of a bit more sci-fi teevee.

Battlestar Galactica is worth watching. It spirals off in directions you’d never expect, touching on almost every topic relevant to humanity. The music is great. And, surprisingly for such a serious sci-fi show, it also has a beautiful slow-burn romance in it.

Not sure if anyone likes anime here but I recently watched one titled Emma: A Victorian Romance, that drove me nuts. It's set in London, in the year 1895, and is about a romance between a maid and an upper-class gentleman. I ideally should enjoy such a story, but the titular main character is so flat and simple that I could barely finish it.

However, the anime's soundtrack and the manga's art is beautiful. It's all this series has going for it.
