I still haven’t got round to Mando and last season of Bad Batch 
I think both are good. Please don’t click the spoiler tags, okay? 
I agree with @tomm_archer that Bad Batch keeps trying to make me think it is a kids show because of Omega.

I didn’t mean to - I hadn’t seen the spoiler until I accidentally quoted it in my post!
Ouch, so sorry
No worries! Not your fault!
Mando latest episode.
I didn’t know he was going to be in an episode but I recognised him from the first frame

My wife and I watched both seasons of White Lotus.
I honestly don’t know why. The characters are unlikeable to unpleasant. They make questionable to horrible decisions. And yet, we kept wanting to watch the next episode. Maybe it’s the “watching a train wreck” aspect?
Been watching s3 of The Mandalorian and enjoying it. During dinner, we’ve been putting on the anime The Devil is a Part-Timer! which is just silly fun, though a bit juvenile at times. There was an animation shift between the first season and the second season which just got released recently, which is a bit jarring when you watch straight through.

Whenever I watch the Mandalorian, all I can think of is how uncomfortable it must be in those helmets

We went and saw Renfield tonight, which was fun with glorious bits of over-the-top fight sequences with just the right level of gore that you laugh rather than cringe. Good performances by all, with a special nod to Nicholas Cage for pulling off Dracula so well.

Six Four on itv.com - a Scottish adaptation of the Japanese detective novel, starring Kevin McKidd of Grey’s Anatomy and Dog Soldiers fame. I’m finding it above average for detective stories, probably because it’s a four episode series and the source material was good.
I caught Suzume (subtitled) in the theatre yesterday. Though I enjoyed it, it was very much in the formula of the recent entries from writer/director Makoto Shinkai. It had a bit more humor–one of the main leads spends most of the movie as an mobile, child-sized, wooden chair (that was also missing a leg)–but also the same emotional, action, and supernatural beats of his recent films.

Putting “the formula” in perspective: Suzume, Shinkai and the Everlasting Impact of 3.11
I’ve been watching a bunch of Diane Morgan being funny on TV. In particular:
- Cunk on Britain
- Cunk on Earth
- Mandy
I swear that Mandy could have been inspired by an ex-neighbour of mine (but I expect a good percentage of the viewers are probably thinking much the same thing :)

This is one of those movies that if we meet someone who has not seen it, we try to get them to see it. Such a good movie.
Glass onion is fun too.

Watched the end of Picard. Happy with it. Relentless nostalgia.

Agreed. Didn’t do anything overly interesting but was fun. I did like some of the clever past plot hole filling.

It’s all about the music. The post credit scene smoothly removed a lot of modern canon too.
