I finished The Residence, and I really enjoyed it as expected. The first half of the last episode was annoyingly recappy, though, and now that I think of that, the whole show had this weird thing where five minutes into every episode they'd do a recap of the things that had *just* happened. Not even in previous episodes, just in that same episode! I thought it was just cdramas that did weird unnecessary flashback things, but that was noticeably weird, too. But on the whole, the show is a solid rec.

One more ep of Murderbot, and while I enjoyed it, the last three eps have been getting farther and farther from the book, and I'm having difficulty finding the parallels and figuring out why they changed so much in the first place. It's not bad, I'm enjoying it, I'm just a little confused.

I watched two more eps of Love Scout, and I think I should stop. The main couple is good, but lots of the rest of the show is annoying me. The pacing is very slow in places, both leads have other romantic interests that annoy me, and overall it's just not doing what I want it to do. Mostly I just went back to it because I was so tired I couldn't concentrate on anything else. Which is also why I watched a lot of youtube content last week. But there was nothing special that I need to rec now.

It annoys me so much when episodes do internal recaps like that.
