Finished Shrinking, which we enjoyed overall. It feels done, but apparently there's a third season coming this year.

My partner and I started a rewatch of Severance season 1, so we can continue seamlessly into season 2. Wow, this show is creepy. I'd forgotten how much the low-affect vibe of the whole company space unnerves me.

In Kdramas, I finished the available episodes of Motel California, which I loved, aww, and started Love Scout, with which I am currently obsessed, omg, it's every bit as good as everyone said. (I'm about four episodes in, no spoilers please, don't tell me anything!!) Also, ha, it's so obvious that these shows were made for primarily female audiences: both male leads are effectively kind, patient logistical/emotional support modules whose lives revolve around women who, objectively speaking, treat them appallingly. Somehow, this feeds my soul. (/o\) :D :D :D

Yay! I'm so glad you're enjoying Love Scout. It's been my feel-good show for the past couple of weeks. :)

I somehow only read half of your comment yesterday, so this is why I'm asking you today to elaborate on your Love Scout/Motel California comparison. Can you tell me more about the ML and the way the FL treats him without being too spoilery?

You mean in Motel California? It's friends-to-lovers, except that she is dealing with A LOT, which makes her prickly and avoidant. However much she pushes him away, he waits for her and supports her. (To be fair to him, she also gives him some encouragement, and they're clearly very important to each other in a non-romantic way too.)
