Originally ignored it since live action versions of anime tend to be poop, but binged the live version of King's Avatar on Netflix and enjoyed it. I'm not a gamer, but solid show if you like the genre, although I probably prefer Video Game High School (it's cheesy, low budget, and over acted, but that becomes its charm the more you watch).

Haven't read book. Watched first 3 eps. It's ok. I don't especially like or dislike it so far. I'll probably check out a few more episodes to see where it goes. Some shows take longer for me to get into.

Just watched 4th ep of Wheel of Time (one ep behind) and thought it was pretty good. Can see how the book would be good with ability to flesh things out more.

Just watched 4th ep of Wheel of Time (one ep behind) and thought it was pretty good. Can see how the book would be good with ability to flesh things out more. The books are definitely different. Same basic plot but the characters are younger in the books, more like 17 year olds. The first book came out in 1990 and the earlier books do feel a tiny bit dated but it's a fantastic series. Pretty sure it's the most popular high fantasy series outside of Lord of The Rings and possibly Game of Thrones by this point. The consensus is that the first 6 or 7 books are amazing. Then they start to decline as the author started stretching out the plot and taking longer and longer between books. I don't think they're bad but when you wait 5 years for a book and it doesn't blow you away with moving the story along it's a hard pill to swallow. Eventually he died and the final 3 books were written by a different author, which most people were very happy with. The audiobooks are a fantastic way to experience them. Not that you asked about the books or anything but I felt like talking about it for a minute.

I like that Netflix casually drops great content with little to no marketing.
Arcane is the best show of the year.

Been meaning to watch that. Trailer looked good and has gotten great reviews I think the worst thing about Arcane, after I finished it this weekend, was that I didn’t watch it sooner. You’re gonna love it.

Arcane lives up to hype. Great animation, good story, look forward to next season, which may be a while.
Witcher season 2 was ok. Don't completely remember first season since it's been 2 years. Entertaining, but don't remember liking it as much as first season.
Just finished Wheel of Time. Haven't read books, but enjoyed it. It's worth the watch if you like the genre, that said, it felt like it was missing something as far as being a top tier show. Of course, I thought the first season of Game of Thrones was just ok, and then got awesome season 2 on. Wheel is probably closer to Shannara Chronicles than GoT right now, which isn't really a knock since I enjoyed Chronicles and if you like the genre and haven't watched it, it's worth a look.
