I watched (in order of enjoyment): Yellowjackets S3 E1-3: This show revolves around a high school girls' soccer team whose plane crashes in the wilderness. In the past timeline, the survivors struggle with primal instincts and dark secrets. The present timeline shows us the haunting aftermath of the ordeal many years later. And we're so back, baby! Totally forgot how much I love Shauna Shipman and this entire crazy train of a show.
Mo S1 E1-3: This show centers on Mo, a Palestinian refugee, who dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian in Houston, Texas, all while trying to secure his family's immigration status. This show explores its characters and central themes with heart and a keen eye. Episode 3 was much darker than I had anticipated from the tone of the previous two episodes but that made the show only better.
The Witch E1&2: The titular "witch", Park Mi-jeong, started isolating herself from the world after everybody who approaches her (mostly guys with a crush) comes to suffer a tragic fate. Lee Dong-jin, who has loved her since they went to school together but never approached her about it, wants to solve the mystery around Mi-jeong's "curse". No idea where this is going but the premise intrigues me!
The White Lotus S3 E1: Editing this in late. I finished none of the previous seasons but remain curious about this show. Again, there are several characters to despise... Natasha Rothwell's character, so far, was my favorite. I'm also interested in the three BFFs, the two LBH daters, and the weird siblings dynamic.
My Dearest Nemesis E1&2: This show is about a man and a woman who meet in an online game in their teens. Their relationship ends when their first meeting ends catastrophically. Sixteen years later, they appear in each other's life again, this time as boss and employee. This could be an absolute banger of a show if several parts of it didn't feel so immature. I'm not entirely sure if I should feel charmed by the (almost?) old-school ridiculousness of a chaebol with a secret rocker slash gamer identity, or if I am simply too old for this.
The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract E1-2: The plot of this show is truly wild. A Joseon noblewoman widow time-travels to modern Seoul and enters into a contract marriage with a chaebol who looks like her deceased husband. I have heard good things about this show and finally decided to give it a chance despite the sageuk parts and the time-traveling which are usually not my thing. Unfortunately, the ridiculous chaebol politics already got on my nerves at the beginning of the third episode, so I'm reconsidering if this show is for me.
