Murderbot Looks Like a Fun Show
For my money, I think AppleTV+ has the best shows when it comes to streaming. I watch all sorts of TV shows across all streaming services, and AppleTV+ is pretty much nothing but bangers. I haven’t loved all of their shows equally, but they have more hits than misses. And next up is Murderbot, which looks really fun.
I’m a little disappointed when he takes off his helmet to look human…but the narration and comedy and sci-fi elements look like they’re really fun! So Murderbot is definitely on my list of upcoming shows to watch!
Murderbot comes to AppleTV+ on May 16.

Some Delightful Movie Trailers for This Friday
We’ve got the Minecraft movie coming soon, so I assume that’s the reason for a bunch of new movie trailers arriving on our doorstep this week. And seeing as how I don’t have all the time in the world, I’m just gonna lump them all together in a single Friday post! That’s how I roll. Let’s start with something awesome.
The Naked Gun is getting a modern reboot/sequel! Starring Liam Neeson! And it looks pretty darn funny so far.
The original Naked Gun movies are all-time classics, and this trailer looks like things will stay funny and wacky. I love that part. And they tackle the OJ Simpson dilemma right up front and it’s pretty darn funny. So let’s definitely go with this one!
The Naked Gun is coming to theaters on Aug. 1.
Next up is M3gan 2.0, the sequel to that creepy killer doll movie. And as one might expect, the twist for the sequel is pretty predictable. But it might still be good.
I think I liked the first M3gan. I remember watching it and I remember parts of it. But I don’t remember my thoughts or opinion on it. Weird. Anyway, this sequel looks like something one might expect from such a sequel. Though I’m disappointed that the new evil doll looks like a person instead of a doll. That’s also a weird choice.
M3gan 2.0 comes to theaters on June 27.
Just to shake things up, let’s check out the trailer for Fountain of Youth, coming to AppleTV+. Normally I wouldn’t really have anything to say about this trailer, but man…it looks like something made by committee.
And though it might look like something made by committee…it also looks…good? Ish? Like, disposable movie nonsense. But the sort of disposable movie nonsense you can just watch and mostly enjoy. It’s got some good actors, at least.
Fountain of Youth comes to streaming on May 23.

Severance for Introverts, by Only Leigh
One of my favorite internet cartoonists is Only Leigh, on YouTube! She does fun work, with great voice acting, but she doesn’t post often because (I hope) she’s busy on a bunch of other big projects and work! But she came out with a random video to celebrate the end of Severance the other day!
Don’t worry, there are no spoilers for the TV show Severance on AppleTV+ — which I highly recommend. It’s a great show that lives up to all the hype it gets. And the season 2 finale was excellent! Just like this cartoon.
And just like, hopefully, the rest of this week. Sigh. It’s only Tuesday.

TV Trailer Thursday!
There hasn’t been much to post about this week. I live in the northeast, so I’m buried in several feet of snow that just isn’t going anywhere. Life is misery. But a pair of random trailers showed up yesterday for some streaming TV shows I’m looking forward to, so I thought I’d bundle them up and share!
First up is the third season of Reacher, the Amazon Prime show where Jack Reacher beats people up for the greater good. Nothing much to spoil in this trailer; it’s just Reacher in a bunch of new situations.
And I’ll probably definitely watch! Or at least I’ll put it on my to-watch list and hopefully get to it eventually. The first two seasons are solid. I’m honestly surprised we’re only up to season 3 with Reacher. Wild.
Anyway, Reacher returns to Prime in February.
Next up is the fourth season of Mythic Quest on AppleTV+! Some spoilers in this trailer, mostly maybe?
I took forever to get around to watching this show, because I never had a reason to get AppleTV. But I’m fully caught up at this point because this show is awesome, and AppleTV is awesome! So many great shows. I’m currently watching the second season of Shrinking and it’s just as good as the first so far. So hopefully the fourth season of Mythic Quest can live up to the other seasons!
Mythic Quest returns to Apple on Jan. 29!

Don’t Watch This Severance Trailer!
Don’t watch this new trailer for the TV show Severance unless you’re caught up on season 1 and ready to watch the upcoming season 2. Don’t spoil anything for yourself about this show! And this trailer has a lot of SPOILERS! I don’t even know why I’m posting this trailer…unless it’s to share my love of this show and convince you to finally watch? Unless it’s for people like me who are all caught up and can’t wait for season 2?
This looks great! There are a ton of SPOILERS in this trailer, but since I’ve already seen season 1, they’re not spoiled for me. So be careful if you want to watch.
Don’t sleep on Severance. It’s as good as everybody says it is. Maybe you don’t have AppleTV+ and I can’t blame you for that. But there are plenty of shows on that network that are worth burning your free trial for. Do they still have free trials? Anyway, watch Severance, which returns for season 2 on Jan. 17.
