- Billionaire’s Bunker: We begin 2026 with mediocrity. The premise is great and we absolutely loved Money Heist (Casa de Papel). But perhaps that was creator Álex Pina’s peak. This was a soap opera with too many stories and such melodrama! Painful.
- Stranger Things, Season 5: I actually skipped Season 4. Seeing the kids bickering and whining just felt too much, even though I’d watched the first three seasons. I sort of felt: Ugh. Teenagers. But I wanted to check this season out and I did enjoy how they wound things up, for the most part. The special effects are spectacular and Will’s coming out was wonderfully done. Some things didn’t make sense and I think it would have been better to make clear that Elle really did die at the end.
