Scavengers Reign Joe Bennett 8 Television

Fascinating imagining of life on an alien planet. Lovely animation but irregular in parts where it felt like they ran out of money or struggled with quality control

Heartstopper Season 2 Alice Oseman 2 Television

I am officially too old for this type of gay media. It is way way too chaste – they can’t even say the word “sex” – and the preoccupation with labels and coming out and know your identity is exhausting and tiresome

The Last of Us Craig Mazin 7 Television

I think the only good episode in this series was the gay one. Also the ending – while true to the game – sucked

Wreck Ryan J. Brown 6 Television

Mildly amusing TV series that is essentially a variation on Squid Game but suffers the same issues of over staying its welcome

Stranger Things Season 4 The Duffer Brothers 7 Television

Entertaining, expensive and well put together. At the same time, annoyingly deliberate and drawn out

Heartstopper Alice Oseman, Euros Lyn 8 Television

Very cute, very pure, well casted, acted with sincerity and honesty

Placebo Unplugged Placebo 9 Television

Restrained, classical reinterpretations of Placebo hits. Really well staged, really well done

The Amazing Race Season 33 Elise Doganieri 6 Television

Pronounced disparity between good and bad teams but in the end, a very clean race despite the COVID interruption

Kidding Dave Holstein 7 Television

Jim Carey’s character is unlikable but the Michel Gondry influence kept me hooked
