Keep Your Eyes Out for the Dig TV Show
There’s a new TV show coming from the people behind The Good Place and Parks and Recreation. It’s Dig from Michael Schur, starring Amy Poehler and Hugh Laurie! With an appearance from Brennan Lee Mulligan!
I’m always watching TV shows. I’ve got a running list of shows to watch, and I just burn through them. I’m not someone who goes back and rewatches comfort shows. There’s always something new to watch. And the pedigree behind Dig is very impressive and shows a lot of potential, so I’m fully on board!
Dig comes to Peacock on Nov. 23.

I Like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
I don’t know what everybody’s problem is. I really enjoy The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Amazon. And I’m excited for the upcoming third season! Things sure do look dire.
The action is big, the characters are fun, the lore works for me; I’ve had a blast with this show. I’m no Tolkien nerd. I haven’t read that one book this show is based on, with a name too difficult to spell off the top of my head. Maybe that’s why I can stand and actually enjoy Rings of Power? I don’t know. Doesn’t matter. I’m just glad it’s back!
The Rings of Power returns to Amazon on Nov. 11.

And Here’s a Bass Reeves Anime
It’s a random Thursday. Just trying to get through the week. And I randomly found this trailer this morning for a Bass Reeves anime on Netflix. Looks pretty dope.
Bass Reeves was a real person in a post Civil War world, and his star has been rising in recent years with more media appearances. He hasn’t had a full Hollywood movie yet – I don’t think – but an anime on Netflix where everybody pilots mechs should suffice. This looks pretty gnarly and pretty fun.
Bass X Machina comes to Netflix on Nov. 3.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Lanterns (Review)
The first season of Lanterns has come and gone and it’s turning out to be pretty controversial online — at least in the circles I frequent. Lots of ‘Surf Dracula’ talk. People upset that there wasn’t more Green Lanterning. You know how the internet can be. Well I’m here to deliver my personal opinion and review on the first season of Lanterns!
TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I liked it a lot! I will admit that my grade did go down a level from when I started writing this list until after watching the finale, but I’m not one of the people who hated the finale. I thought it was a solid ending to a solid show, which stuck to its intended tone and story all the way through. Surf Dracula? Maybe. Does that bother me? Not with Lanterns, not really. But I’ll get more into the nuance later. The important thing is, we have a Green Lantern TV show and there’s going to be more in the future!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on the first season of Lanterns. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the entire season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryVisionQuest Looks Really Cool!
The next, and possibly last, Marvel Studios TV show on Disney+ is VisionQuest! It’s the final part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision, continued with Agatha All Along, and now involves the Vision dealing with family troubles. There’s a new trailer and it looks great!
Love that slow cover of House of the Rising Sun. I know those types of covers are used a lot, but I still love’em. So sue me. Anyway, this looks really neat! Paul Bettany and James Spader butting heads looks like super fun. The story of Vision finding his humanity is always a hoot. And it builds on the manufactured family from the first two shows with Tommy Shepherd. All looks good to me!
VisionQuest comes to Disney+ on Oct. 14.
