Between one thing and another I've barely read this week, but this past month or so I've watched some tv here and there and I thought I'd talk a bit about them. 

• I continue to watch Severance and love it. The last two episodes have SO much to them: expansion on the world building, answers, yet more questions... all while putting front and center two female characters of the sort that rarely get that place, and being superbly filmed while at it. I am eagerly awaiting the next two episodes, and already anticipating how hard it'll be to wait for another season LOL. I caught up with season 1 right on time to watch the finale premier and oh boy, that was hard xD

• I've started The Pitt, a medical drama where each episode is a "real time" hour for the characters in the emergency room, with the season being just ONE shift in their lives. It's pretty intense and realistic, with many interesting characters, and really good at playing with audience's biases. It's apparently been renewed for a second season (I've heard they weren't sure/weren't expecting that, and season 1 seems to be filmed with that in mind). I'm curious of what that'll mean going forward, because idk if this format, which is what has made the show stand out in its subgenre, can sustain itself for so long. We'll see. Noah Wyle plays the lead character, btw: the attending in charge, still traumatised by his experiences during the earlier days of the pandemic, with this shift being the anniversary of his mentor's death at that time. I never watched ER, but I know it's a classic among medical shows, so maybe some will entice some.

• I FINALLY got around watching the first season of Twin Peaks. It's a very, very charming show, in its way. I find Laura and Audrey in particular fascinating, and like Cooper even more than I expected. I'll continue to watch, despite hearing mixed things on the rest of the show, I think it'll be worth it. Though first I might try to finish Kevin Can Fuck Himself.

Later today I'll be going to a live play for free. The last two I've attended this year were either attrocious or mediocre, so wish me luck LOL.
