Finished watching "The Naked Director" Season 2! It was fun! It was awesome! It made me giddy at the end and made me feel naked inside! This episode was set in the late 80s and early 90s. I missed the backgrounds, fashions, posters, songs, and current events of the time.

House of the Dragon
The prequel series finds the Targaryen dynasty at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires—real and imagined—crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins almost 193 years before the events of Game of Thrones, when King Viserys Targaryen breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm.

Breaking Bad" is one of my best lifetime dramas. "Better Call Saul," is also a spin-off. I've actually been on pause for a long time, stopping at the first half of season 2. Recently, after hearing the rumors, I couldn't stay away and watched only 11 episodes of season 6.

I just finished watching the last few episodes of season 1 of "Sanctuary", which I had to stop after Episode 5 as I had to go on a business trip. It was great. It was interesting until the very end. Each person's thoughts and lives intersect in the "sanctuary".

Sanctuary

I just finished watching the last few episodes of season 1 of "Sanctuary", which I had to stop after Episode 5 as I had to go on a business trip.
It was great. It was interesting until the very end. Each person's thoughts and lives intersect in the "sanctuary". I was crying all the way through episodes 7 and 8. Toward the end, Saruou reminds me of Joe Yabuki and Asuka as Yoko Shiraki. Shizuuchi maybe Toru Rikiishi.

The Sandman
A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, The Sandman follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic — and human — mistakes he's made during his vast existence.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

I just finished watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters up to episode 10.
I've been watching "Gare-Godzi" for a long time because I don't hate it, but I'm not really interested in the history of Monarch, and I was sick and tired of the cutbacks to the character's past every episode.
However, the last episode was wonderful. The characters have been carefully portrayed, and their reunion brought tears to my eyes. The film and the drama were well connected. I also enjoyed the monster battle at the end. I want to watch season 2, not just connect it to the movie.

BLUE EYE SAMURAI
Driven by a dream of revenge against those who made her an outcast in Edo-period Japan, a young warrior cuts a bloody path toward her destiny.

Masters of the Air

I watched two episodes of "Masters of the Air," produced by Spielberg and Tom Hanks, which is now available on AppleTV. The first and second episodes are directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, so the quality is very high, with elaborate, film-like artwork. It is released every Friday, so I will continue to watch.

3 Body Problem
A fateful decision in 1960s China echoes across space and time to a group of scientists in the present, forcing them to face humanity's greatest threat.

I've just finished watching through eight episodes of "3 Body Problem." The original novel by Liu Cixin is depicted on a grand scale and in a unique style. With a slow-paced introduction, the ensemble drama spins a timeless story with intersecting characters.
