Silicon valley. A great representation of what it's like trying to fight the system within the system.

MODERATORS
I've been on a Toonami Anime kick, So I've been watching Gundam Wing, Dragon Ball, Inuyasha.
But I've also been watching one of my comfort shows, Seinfeld. And my girlie fixation, Gilmore Girls.
The final season of Inuyasha is on Netflix. I've never seen it before
Neither have I
Ken Burns The American Revolution
I just finished Chapter 1.
The Menu. That was a fun watch.
When it was first releasing "Animal Control" was on Hulu and I had started to watch it. Financial decisions changed and we gave up Hulu, D+, Netflix and Funimation/Crunchyroll. So, I found a good enough pirate stream and have been catching back up on it.
Mr Mercedes, Pluribus, One Punch Man
I'm really liking Pluribus.
The Substance. That movie fucking rules. Fucking insane.
I just watched this too. It's crazy that most of that shit was practical effects.
For real, that last act was something else, they did an amazing job.
Future Man S1, nothing else this week…
I saw that was streaming and laughed at how many people are going to be enjoying that for the first time.
Heh, somehow I missed it when it released in 2017. I do enjoy it.
Just watched evolution. Not great by any means but its kinda funky. Its got david decovny and the dude wheres my car guy and it was from 2001 but feels somewhat like an eighties film. In some way feels like stripes (goofy within a technically serious plot)
I'm watching the original 60s Star Trek for the first time. I love 90s trek, but found TOS a bit too slow to engage with. But I've been watching it while doing deep space exploration in Elite Dangerous, and I've been loving it!
I've been watching a ton of Would I Lie to You? It's a British panel show where one team says a story about their life and the other tries to guess if it's true or not.
Pro tip: always guess true with Bob Mortimer. Don't trust your gut. He's lived a much weirder life than you can imagine.
I've also just finished the anime OddTaxi which was phenomenal. Peak writing from start to end. No breaks. I couldn't stop binging it. It's a mystery where the main character is a taxi driver.
I watched the first three episodes of Fellow Travellers on a plane but annoyingly they didn't have the next 3 and I can't legally watch them without paying money. It was AMAZING really, really good.
Also watched 3 episodes of The Pitt which is a better written ER, and also has Noel Hathaway. Liked it, would watch again.
The Pitt is good stuff.
I watched Lazarus from Adult Swim, it was kind of good
