Stuff what I watched
Feb. 11th, 2017 04:27 pmUgh, New South Wales is catching on fire. Be safe, my NSWelshfriends.
We are not currently on fire. Fingers crossed that we remain so - the hot weather has abated, for Victoria, anyway.
Things I have watched, most of which are Netflix while I crocheted approximate 1,000 hats:
Legion 1.01
Well, that was certainly something. It was beautiful. It was weird. It flipped genres right at the end. I generally like mental landscapes and time jumps and playing around with perception, and I liked the way the show handled it, so I think I'd watch another episode at least. I hope that Aubrey Plaza continues to be in it (I just checked - she's down for at least four episodes.) I'd like to know more about all the characters we met at the end of the ep.
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (almost all of it, I'm saving the finale for later):
This grew on me! I wasn't going to like it as much as I did - the pilot started with a lot of really violent stuff happening to women, especially a woman of colour - but then I fell pretty hard for Bart (the holistic assassin, she's played by Brad Dourif's daughter who is, I have learned, awesome), Farah (the bodyguard) and Amanda (Elijah Wood's character's sister), and by then, the weird twisty plot had me hooked as well. It's fun, and the soundtrack is super. And I hardcore ship Amanda/Farah. Amanda has such a crush on her!! Me too, actually!!

( Not really spoilery, but long. Turns out I have ~thoughts. )
Ascension
( This is spoilery )
