Just finished up Season 4 of THE BOYS.
It's probably a more accurate view of what real humans would do if granted superpowers than almost any other superhero series I've ever seen.  Homelander remains one of the greatest villains of all time!  And yes, it's also a pretty biting social and political satire.

Going to start FUTURAMA again from the beginning. I don't remember what season I would have to start with if I wanted to just watch unseen episodes. It's a fantastic series; Groening seemed to take some lessons from the decline of "The Simpsons" about in not piling on TOO many characters, in-jokes, and pop culture cameos. The cancellations probably perversely helped the show not get too overexposed, and it's always been able to pick up right where it left off.

Going through The Librarians at the moment after having it recommended to me by several people. Watching Parks & Recreation with Kristi.

This week I watched a French crime drama on Netflix called BLACK BUTTERFLIES.
Fascinating story of a struggling writer who agrees to ghost-write the memoirs of an old man named Albert Desiderio, now slowly dying of liver disease. Albert turns out to have been a prolific serial killer in France during the 70's and 80's, along with his wife, Solange. The writer gets sucked into the story of Solange and Albert in more ways than one as the narrative progresses, and despite his loathing of what they have done, he finds himself compelled to listen to the story to the very end.
Brilliantly done, with considerable gore and nudity, but a compelling story as well. 4/5

Just finished watching "The Munsters" on DVD. Wish there were more episodes.

There are a couple of movies, & a remake/sequel series from the 80's. The movies are on the TV shows DVDs; I don't think the remake series was ever released on home video.

Binged a series that originally ran on AMC, THE TERROR,  over the weekend.  Brilliant casting, great cinematography, and eerie themes dominated this story of Arctic (non)survival set in 1847.
Based on real events, with just the right amount of artistic license thrown in! 5/5

lately I've been alternating between episodes of the following most days

MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE '88

MURDER SHE WROTE Season 6

CHiPS Season 1

THE SIMPSONS Season 10

Season 10 of SIMPSONS is obviously past the 'classic' era but it still has it, couple of jokes per episode usually make me genuinely laugh out loud (or 'LOL' as no one seems to say anymore)

this line from Marge had me howling..

I'm watching Daredevil.  It's surprisingly dark and bloody for a Marvel superhero show, but in a good way.  Where I'm at now, they've just introduced The Punisher.

Over the past several days I've been watching "Icons Unleashed: Marvel" on Tubi.
It's an eight hour VICE-TV docu-series that details the often bumpy road that led Marvel Comics' cast of characters off the printed page and onto the screen, starting out with low budget cartoons and TV movies in the 70s and '80s, eventually bringing us to the current box office crushing Marvel Cinematic Universe we have today. Lots of cool behind the scenes clips, nerd trivia, and interviews with Marvel movers and shakers.

Also on Tubi is Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger's Corman's The Fantastic Four. There's a heartwarming moment at the end where Joseph Culp talks about how, once bootleg copies of the movie started circulating, his son was in awe of his definitive portrayal of Dr. Doom. And getting that sort of respect from your teenage offspring is worth far more than any residuals.
