I just watched Everything Everywhere All at Once (on C4 streaming).
What an utterly glorious movie. Totally ridiculous and beautifully charming.

The Island with Matt Dillon. Quite wtf he made that film is beyond me. We lasted about half hour.

Redeye. Well paced, mostly believable, well made, hoping that season 2 isn't just a rehash.
The Old Man: well made, draws you in, but Jeff Bridges isn't quite fully believable as an action star, (although he makes as good a fist of it as he can).

I've got series 2 of that to make a start on, but S1 was rather pedestrian in its pacing so it'll keep until everything else has been watched.

Just watched the last part of 4 "Titanic sinks tonight". Fantastic insite into the real life experiences of those who survived. Brilliant.

Redeye - second series was watchable
I’m a bit nonplussed by The Nightwatchman. Loved the 1st series - but this is just very low brow bang crash wallop …
I’m getting bored

Tron Ares... Unless you're a massive massive fanboi of the genre, it's just a generic pile of shite.
The one with the Ducati was still vaguely interesting 10 or so years back... but this one is just a bit shite.
I'll watch until the end but i'm an hour or so in for now with very little to see

I've watched it all and felt the same. I'm not quite sure why people are raving over it.
PS, as for where it's going
It's going nowhere this season

Currently (re)watching Fargo - had forgotten how good it was (season one anyway - I've not had the opportunity to rewatch the rest yet).
Also Sherlock, that I never watched the first time around. Surprisingly good for that sort of thing (although not as good as the Homes and Watson fillum with Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly

)

Just finished Pluribus. Really enjoyed it. Kind of slow, but it builds. Alien virus, dystopian weirdness, Vince Gilligan's mind, what's not to like?

We'd be boring if we all thought the same though (see what I did there?)
