Finished "The Magicians" yesterday. That turned out to be a good series. The first two seasons are somewhat problematic, but Seasons 3-5 are playful and rather innovative, also they really subvert some die-hard fantasy tropes here, including ones that are apparently in the books. Hint? Quentin the protagonist in the books isn't the lead protagonist in the series, that's kind of split between an ensemble. I was surprised by it.

Now, flirting with Into the Bad Lands. I'm kind of in between series at the moment. There's a few I need to finish, 3 Body Problem, Scavenger's Reign, the Ark...but I'm not sure if I will. Also Only Murders in the Building - still haven't made it through S3, and I think we're on S4 now? It keeps threatening to end, but gets stretched out for another season, while other shows I like better get cancelled. Television remains as ever unpredictable.
