TV and what I'm watching.

I've just finished my 2nd full run through The Good Place. Of all of them, I think season 3 is the weakest. It's only the second time I've watched the last episode. I think anyone who's seen it will understand why

I love Shakespeare and Hathaway! So love all the Shakespeare references and puns, and that it's actually set - and filmed - in Stratford-Upon-Avon. My teen Shakespeare fangirl freaks out every time. :D (Also, Sebastian is absolutely the best. And the trio have the best chemistry ever. OT-non-sexual-3 4evah!)

I watched Hustle (and The Real Hustle) way back when it was still being made, so for me that was the criminals-pulling-elaborate-cons-always-with-a-surprise-twist show, the one and only. I resisted watching Leverage for ages because from all I read and heard about it it was Hustle-lite, the Americanized version, and I have seen way too many americanizations ruin perfectly good original stuff. But last year I finally watched it and, having years and years between it and Hustle, I enjoyed Leverage. Mostly for the funness of some of the characters, and the interaction between some of them (OT3 there too, heh). I guess it depends on which you saw first, like the Doctor. I saw Nine first and no other Doctor will ever replace him in my heart, heh.

Personally I loved - loved - s1 of the Good Place. It went downhill from there for me, I did watch the other two seasons but the vibe of s1 was never really there for me later on. To be honest I don't even remember a single ep from ep3, I was watching with a friend more so we could both tick it off on our watched list than out of real interest.

Oh well. Can't have all shows be perfect and even get better in the second season like Ted Lasso*. (*shameless rec ;P)

Season 4 of The Good Place is pretty good, IMO, but the last episode is the best of the last 2 seasons. It's heartbreaking.

I love S1 and S2 (Vicky and her ego!). The jazz scene in S2 is fabulous, especially Vicky's fit over not getting to play her triangle.

It's the humour in Leverage I love. There are so many fun scenes.

Ted Lasso doesn't sound like anything I'd enjoy. I'm glad you're having fun with it though!

Ted Lasso is the most uplifting, well written, feel good, realistic but still kind to its characters show ever. I finally talked a friend into watching it and she's loving it too now. :) The trailers and descriptions don't really do the show justice, if you get the chance check out an ep to see what it's really like, you won't regret it, promise.
