A few things incompletely watched over the last year or so:
- Archer seasons 1 to 7 and a bit - a cynical, crude and extremely fun piece of animated action tv candy, enlivened further by a surprising ability to flesh out its characters into something more than just cartoons.
- 3% season 1 and a bit of season 2 - enjoyable Brazilian semi-dystopian future show in which members of the living-in-poverty majority get one chance each to win their way to the pampered land of the elite (the 3%) through an allegedly merit-based series of tests and contests, like a less blood-thirsty Hunger Games but with the political commentary equally - if anything, more so - up in lights.
- Warrior Nun - two or three episodes only before losing interest.
- Bojack Horseman season 1 - this show hasn't landed with me in the way that everyone on the internet had led me to expect it would (maybe that comes with more perseverance?) but its first season shows at least flickers of greatness, with one episode in particular, "Say Anything", punching pretty hard in the stomach in the way it unwraps Princess Carolyn's situation.
- The Forest of Love - I got through about half of this movie before giving up and scrolling forward to find out what happened at the end, which required some synopsis reading anyway given the significant twist. It was hard going - too nasty for me and without the bubblegum pleasures of the director's Love Exposure.
- New Girl - I think I'm about halfway through season 1 of a show that I can't imagine going deep on, but offers the lightest of entertainments at times when such is called for.
