Pretty fun and got the vibe of the games fairly well. I ended up finishing all episodes in one sitting.
The Westworld folks produced this, so while it’s no Westworld, you can feel Jonathan Nolan/Lisa Joy‘s influence all throughout.
Not perfect but still one of the better video game adaptations (The Last of Us episode 3 is pretty hard to top). Plus the setting is a goldmine to tell more, better stories in future seasons or spin-offs.

This game spurs me on and makes me Jingle Jangle till the sky is orange and the Brahmin come home. The story is intriguing, the gameplay is fun, the writing is absolute peak and can be hilarious a lot of the times and the Mojave Wasteland is just so damn fun to explore as your character progresses and your choices effect the story and the very world itself. Give this game a try if you like being a badass wastelander who is motivated by their own motivation and the bullet in their head!

Moral conundrums, incredible choices to make, and DLC’s that could have been their own games.

Great plot, great acting, great production design. I would be very surprised if this doesn’t get its flowers come awards season.
Crimson Sky and the final conversation between Toranaga and Yabushige are some of the things that I’ll be thinking about for quite some time. I’m not very familiar with Anna Sawai’s work, but I loved her acting here. The tea ceremony with her husband is another one of her great moments that’s sort of seared in my memory.

My Lady Jane is a fun, entertaining, binge-able fantasy retelling of the life of Lady Jane Grey, queen for all of nine days. Sometimes, that’s all you really need.

I’ve read the book, I’ve seen the movie. I know how it ends. But guess what, it’s still a good show. The TV format catered really well to the original conceit of the book, with each episode covering a year, and was able to really explore the depth of Dex and Em’s relationship.
That being said, my age is really showing, cause I’ve become less forgiving than before of Dex’s red flag ways. I actually felt bad for the people they were in a relationship with at any given time, cause these two have been living the boy/girl bestfriend trope for decades.
