Merry Christmas everyone.

Here’s the TV shows I watched last week:

• Archive 81 S01
  • Finished it, this is a solid horror show. Bummer that it’s canceled after 1st season
    spoiler

    I like how it became more eldritch horror involving time travel and alternate universe

• X-Men Evolution S01
  • This just doesn’t grab me, the whole season seems to be aimed at high school students. X-Men The Animated Show is better in every way. Heard that S02 fixes some of the writing though
• JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure S05
  • I read Stone Ocean years ago, and it’s great to see it in motion. The ending hit me hard, was not expecting it.
• The X-Files S02
  • I enjoyed this season more than the first one, especially the ones involving extra-terrestrials.
• 30 Rock S02
  • Finished it. I really enjoyed how absurd some of the humors are.
• The Ministry of Time (El ministerio del tiempo) S01
  • I dislike the melodrama / soapy parts, which I find bit common in Spanish movies / shows. What I really like is the fish out of water part, where people from other era uses contemporary tech items. There’s this one scene where the man is in 18th century, and he whipped out a Toshiba-like notebook and a scanner. Somehow reminds me of Beforeigners, which I really like.

Some of the movies I watched:

• The White Storm 2: Drug Lords (2019)
  • This is worse than the first one. Too much melodrama
• Gangs of Wasseypur - Part II (2012)
  • I like part 2 bit more than first part, but they definitely need some trimmings. The 2nd part is bit more brutal than the first one, however I find some characters might be under-developed, e.g. Definite.
• The Creator (2023)
  • The story didn’t grab me. The visuals are amazing though.
