I am presently watching The Book of Boba Fett on Disney+ which is still being released weekly. We are on episode 5/7 now and things are beginning to reach a climax.

Other than that I am working through Netflix's Neymar: The Perfect Chaos. I am always blown away by the quality of pretty much any Netflix docuseries and this one is no different. It chronicles the journey of the Brazillian football star Neymar from his impoverished youth in Sao Paulo to joining Santos on a youth contract and thereafter making it big with FC Barcelona and later Paris Saint-Germain.

What are all of you watching?

Same here. I saw The Hero a while back, and Sam Elliot looked 15 years older in it than he does in 1883. Loved his character in both.

His talk with Elsa in the latest episode was gut-wrenching.

Also watching Book of Boba Fett, episode 5 is the only one I've really
liked so far, which was basically an episode of Mandalorean. TBH, I
think they neutered Boba too much, or at least didn't show the
transition very well in the earlier episodes... If they'd done more of
the flashbacks in chronological order, with "5 years earlier" or
something similar when he came out of the sarlac pitt (sp) it would have
been better. The editing isn't as good as it could/should be.

Started on Peacemaker this past weekend, far better than it has any
right to be, but my expectations were incredibly low.

I also watch Rookie, Blue Bloods, Superman & Lois and a handful of others.

Right-on. So bummed what the series turned into, the myth of Fett was
much more interesting than this stuff. But yeah, last week's EP --
basically S3 EP1 of The Mandolorian -- was pretty good!

So into this show. Violent, flithy and funny. And some deep cuts from the
DC Universe.. Hell, Kite Man even got a shout last week!

Started The Guilded Age with my wife, but alas -- felt like network TV
garbage writing, which is a shame, I actually liked Downton Abbey...

I feel the same way about Boba Fett's character. In the original movies he was quiet, mysterious and clearly morally bankrupt. Disney have retconned this version of Fett and turned him into a naive do-gooder who is soft on his enemies. I am still enjoying the series though as the spin-offs are way better than the main-line movies which are just embarrassing. Episode 5 is, ironically, the best so far for me also which is hilarious because Fett doesn't feature in it for even a second. Some of the decisions in the earlier episodes are strange too, such as the augmented Vespa gang who couldn't have looked more ridiculous and out of place in a Star Wars production. There are only 2 more episodes remaining so I reckon it'll reach a rushed conclusion.

TBoBF overall lacks the quality writing of The Mandalorian.

He is a literal clone of Jango who was absolutely fucking ruthless... despite being the Daimio, Fennec Shand clearly wears the trousers in their relationship.
