From the title alone I thought you meant the entire state.
There was something really cozy about watching Sliders. Every episode was basically self contained, there was constant balance between setting things right and escaping on time, and in general they did their best to improve the world a bit before leaving.
Later seasons tried to introduce an overarching plot with the CroMags, but the first couple seasons are great comfort watches.
Watching Andor right now. It is as good as everyone says so far. The episodes feel really short, though; I guess I've gotten used to 60 minute episodes as opposed to 30 minutes.
"Documenting the code base will be your first task for the next month to help show us how well you understand the codebase."
I was about to say the opposite. They somehow made it uglier.
I used to think the same thing about people falling in love with AI. It seemed so obvious that nobody would seriously do that; it'd be so self-destructive. Now cybernetics don't seem so far fetched either.
It's really a good showcase of how CGI should augment practical effects, not replace them. Fury Road is another good example.
I've never heard of anyone else who's seen Ladyhawke. Everyone I've shown it to hated it, but there's something I love about it. The sets, locations, costumes, dialogue, all great. The transformations they tried to do on-screen are my least favorite part, though.
Don't forget they lost Best Costume to Planet Of The Apes because the mimes they hired to play the monkeys were so convincing they were assumed by many to be real.
I watched the Netflix series and then the Making Of show about it. Apparently they tried CGI gelflings to cut costs and just couldn't live up to the puppetry, so eventually Netflix relented and gave them enough budget to match Henson's original quality.
Too bad he's leaving... It was nice while it lasted.
Wanted a loaded hot dog but found out half way through we only had mini-dogs.
Mini hotdogs and cheddar cheese broiled on a hotdog bun. Loaded up with rice, broccoli, oyster sauce, and Sriracha.
Ended up being delicious. A real hotdog would have been better; the minis kept falling out or moving with each bite. I'd put the Sriracha under the rice next time. It mostly ended up smearing on my face.

My son is obsessed with Mario LEGO and had his own little table in the corner of the LEGO room. It was overflowing and my wife hated how messy it looked. While she was away for a few days I made this.
Two partial sheets of 3/4" birch plywood with French cleats attached, painted white, were mounted on the walls. Then the desk just slots into the second-lowest cleat, using the bottom cleat as support.
As he grows we can raise the desk a couple times, eventually bringing it up to 29" from the ground which is about regular desk height.
I also made a few shelves and a box for him to organize with out of the plywood scrap.
He likes that he can rearrange his storage as he pleases. I made a couple more medium-sized shelves that aren't pictured, and I may someday make a corner triangular shelf for Bowser to sit on.

I'm one of those people who would call it a masterpiece, but I understand where you're coming from. I don't think you're wrong about the characters and plot, although they gain a lot more depth as you rewatch it. They are honestly the weakest part of the movie, relatively.
What the movie aims to do is impart a specific feeling. The book did a really good job of it as well, although a slightly different feeling. The plot is really just a device to move you through the world they have created so that you will feel it. The feeling of holding onto a glimmer of hope in a world driven to hopelessness and despair.
Other dystopian stories arguably try to capture that feeling but none compare in my opinion. Tyrannical governments and alien invasions always carry the hope of rebellion. But Children of Men feels like watching a loved one die of old age. There is no hope of recovering from old age and there is no hope of continuation without children. No matter how much you fight you will fade away and then be gone forever.
Children of Men really shines with repeat viewings, but if you didn't like it the first time I don't think it will win you over.
