  • Bojack Horseman Christmas Special: Sabrina’s Christmas Wish

    —

    ,

    I just fell on this last night, a couple of hours before the end of Christmas, and I’m glad I watched it. It’s a really great parody of the type of Christmas episodes you’d see on sitcoms in the 80s (think Full House and Family Matters), and it reminds me that I really do need…

  • The OA

    —

    ,

    I’m only a couple of episodes in, but so far I’m very pleasantly surprised by The OA. I hadn’t heard anything about this until a few days before it was released on Netflix last week, and found the trailer to be quite intriguing. What I’m seeing so far is still wrapped in mystery – which…

  • Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

    —

    ,

    I was interested by this series when I first heard about it – I like Douglas Adams (although I’ve only read his Hitchhiker’s stuff), and I generally enjoy the stuff that Elijah Wood is in – and so was happy to see it pop up on Netflix (as a Netflix Original here in Canada). I’ve…

  • Reggie Watts: Spatial

    —

    ,

    At the extreme opposite end of that Michael Che comedy special is the new Reggie Watts special – called Spatial – also just released on Netflix. I’ve been a pretty big fan of Watts, and know what to expect from him – awkward laughs, weirdness, musical interludes, etc. This is what you get here, but…

  • Michael Che Matters

    —

    ,

    I really like Michael Che – I got to see him perform live last year at the Just for Laughs festival, and of course enjoy him every week on SNL’s “Weekend Update.” I was pretty happy to see a comedy special by him pop up on Netflix last week, and I’m happy to say I…

  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Season 3)

    —

    ,

    I’ve been slowly watching the third season of The Clone Wars animated series on Netflix, and gotta say, it keeps getting better and better. Makes me realize that the setting of the prequels isn’t really the problem, but rather that they’re just bad movies with bad storytelling. 

  • Saturday Night Live (Season 42)

    —

    ,

    As I start thinking about what I liked and watched throughout the year for my year-end list, I’m reminded that SNL is one of the rare shows that I watch on a weekly basis (at this point, it was just this and Westworld), and how I continue to look forward to watching it, despite the…

  • Conan

    —

    ,

    I’ve been following Conan O’Brien’s various shows on and off since he started his talk show career, and after not having watched anything in a good year or two, I recently started watching Conan again, and am happy to see that it’s just as fun as ever.
