Midnight Diner on Netflix is quite delightful. It might as well be called “social anxiety the tv show”, but it’s super gentle and safe.

Are you talking about the Japanese show? Because if you are, I love that show. I’ve been waiting about 2-3 years for Netflix to put the “second” season online.

Yes. The second season is now online.

I was initially unsure of the show you were talking about because the title is actually Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories.

I mostly passively watch it when my girlfriend has it on, so I didn’t catch the full name.

I was delighted to see them add Season 2.

I finished Star Trek Discovery Season 2 yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I thought that the first season was OK, but not particularly Star Trek-y. Season 2 fixes that. The show is less dour, more optimistic, actually cracks some jokes, and actually feels like Star Trek. I thought that the additions of Spock and Captain Pike would just be fan service and gimmicks, but both characters were very well done.
Overall, I really really enjoyed Season 2, much more than season one and I’m looking forward to season 3.
I’m watching Evangellion for the first time. It’s good. I think I’m at like episode 8 or so. Been going slow.

Lionel Hutz is the sort of person Trump would hire for his defense and Dr Nick is probably his physician.

I watched all of The Dragon Prince S3 in one day.
Claudia is basically Talia al’Ghul, now.
Barry is hilarious.
Evil has been disappointing. It quickly moved from what I thought the premise would be, and is more of a procedural supernatural conspiracy drama. I’m still watching it, but the writing/pacing/plot points are lackluster.

I enjoyed David Chang in Mind of a Chef and Ugly Delicious, but just new show on Netflix called Breakfast Lunch and Dinner was unbearable. We tried three different episodes, and didn’t get more than five minutes in to any of them. It might as well be called “David Chang has famous friends now, so watch him meet them and watch them laugh and laugh and laugh”.

So far, I’ve been enjoying watching His Dark Materials with @pence as someone who has never read the books or watched the cruddy film adaptation.
Episode 3 was kind of… nothing, though.

Yeah, that episode felt like an outline of events from the book with little to no embellishment. The scene with Farder Coram and Lyra at the start of episode 4 was what I wanted the whole time in ep3. Also wish we saw some of Iorek working - he’s supposed to be paying off his “debt” and we only see him rip a bit of scrap metal off of some junk.

Meanwhile Iofur’s armor is just proving that the bad guys always get the best toys.
The Imagineering Story pits profit against creativity in a way that’s weirdly anti-capital for a Disney product.
SO MANY CHRISTMAS MOVIES!
