I recall Dexter seasons 4 and 5 were very good, especially John Lithgowās role.
Power of the Dog was great, but itās certainly not a traditional Western.
And if you do decide to start Riverdale, make sure to stop after the end of season 2.

Hawkeye. Whisper it, but I actually like this. Thereās a very real reluctance on the part of Rennerās character to be there (it could have done without it being Christmas, actually, but never mind that), and a willingness for the source material to be made fun of. Playing around with arrows and swords, it almost has something Errol Flynn about it. Itās a shame a lot of the fights are so generic, it could really stand out if they had just a few more things for Steinfeld to do differently, but it appears all Marvel characters attend the same dojo.

I like it too, but I also know the source comic, which was rather good, so I think Iām sort of biased towards wanting this to be good enough to like. Renner plays the āreluctant and sort of annoyed guyā very wellāit may be his best ability as an actor (if youāve never seen the short-lived The Unusuals, check it outāit was a very under-rated series). Iām convinced the best Marvel fights were in the first season of Daredevil. They were brutal and different from anything in the MCU.

Loved the source comic. Art was great in it, too. I havenāt gotten around to Hawkeye yet but Iām looking forward to it.

Seen Mayor of Kingstown yet?
There was so much good in Hawkeye ep.5
Yelenaās blip and return sequence was really neat. The conversation with Yelena and Kate was fun. And while I was expecting the fat man, seeing it for real and finally confirmation that it is DāOnofrio and that the Netflix MCU will live onā¦was just awesome.

I have not. Should I give it a look?
Worth it for Renner.

Any good? Read mixed reviews on it
I think so. Itās worth a try anyway. I am not in far enough to judge properly yet or I would have reviewed it here. But Iām too drunk currently to really be coherent about it YMMV.

Station Eleven is perfect. If you are carrying your wife to bed to make love to her, drop her on the floor and go and watch it.

The conversation was superb. Florence Pugh does an amazing job again. She should get her own series.
She did it, more or less. The Little Drummer Girl.
They made a show out of the le Carre novel?
Yes, AMC mini series a few years ago with Michael Shannon and Alexander Skarsgard. I thought it was pretty good, especially Pugh.

Iāve seen many people lament the change in tone of Ted Lasso season 2, concluding that it isnāt quite as good as season 1. I would point out:
-
Many fans binged season 1 during year 1 of COVID on the strength of recommendations from other fans. The joyful, optimistic tone was sorely needed then, like a life preserver for a drowning swimmer. The outside circumstances around season 2 were much different, so of course the feeling of relief engendered by season 1 couldnāt really be recaptured. Itās perhaps unfair to judge season 2 as āworseā when the magic of season 1 was largely due to what was going on in the real world at the time.
-
The theme of season 1 was Ted āfixingā other peopleās relationships while running away from his own issues. In season 2, the teamās relationships are great, but Tedās unresolved issues begin affecting other people and the team. Itās going to get darker in season 3, I think.
