Someone's a bit sore
for the first time, screen on Disney+, not the ABC
But seriously it's probably going to be the only thing on Disney+ that will be any good

Banter and chat about the show you are watching - hopefully with everyone else watching the same show, or things will be confusing.

We enjoyed Andor. The other sw stuff is hot trash. Can't think of anything else we watch on Disney though.
Oh yeah forgot about Andor that was great compared to the other stuff
Only Murders in the Building had a great first 2 seasons. Season 3 failed to stick the landing a bit.
I actually thought Season 3 was great, possibly on par with the first season. I loved the theatre/musical theme and the greater screen time for side characters like Howard. The first half felt a little chaotic like it was treading water a bit in terms of plot, but it came together nicely towards the end.
Doctor Who hasn't been watchable since 2018.
Just to clarify that while I didn't initially welcome the change, the doctor being a woman was inconsequential compared to virtually every other aspect of the production. The scripts, sets, actors, characterization. Virtually all of it was awful. It was a huge step backwards from the last season.
In-fact I'm even more mad they butchered the opportunity to explore the doctor being a woman because Moffat had an interesting take on the masters redemption arc in 2017, part of which was regenerating into a woman. I thought it was interesting story arc that worked.
I was excited for Russel T Davies returning as showrunner as his 4 season + specials run of Doctor Who was hands down my favorite era. However the media run he has been doing has severely dampened my interest. Like his take on Davros and wheelchair users. 🤦
While most people dumped on it, I thought the children of need special worked as it happened before the genesis of the Daleks which I think makes sense in the timeline. But if they carry through this version of Davros through for those reasons, not to mention any other brain dead takes, into the main timeline then I give up.
The cin special was a glorious pisstake and anyone who took it seriously needs to touch some fucken grass.
And i'm saying that as a lifelong anorak whovian.
