It's Been Seventeen Years

I haven't seen quite as much as I wanted to over the past few weeks but here's a glimpse of what I have been watching.

Batwoman: We're heading into the remaining few episodes of the season and things have gotten somewhat more interesting. While Luke being shot seemed to served more as a catalyst for an imminent hero role, it's interesting to see how we went from Sophie quitting the Crows to Jacob disbanding them in too quick a succession. On the plus side, we've got Alice and Jacob working together to save Kate from Black Mask as we head towards the finale.

Friends: The Reunion: Remember a time when this particular reunion was gonna be the very thing to launch HBO Max? Well, COVID happened but over a year later, we finally got the reunion special with the main cast of the iconic 90s sitcom and James Corden hosting it as well. I loved the show back in the day and it was nice to see the old gang again.

The Flash: This season has been an almighty slog to get through and I'm honestly at a point where I feel the CW need to end the series. The Forces storyline was sloppily handled, it's hard to care about Cisco leaving the show when he's done so little for a long time and the whole Killer Frost trial thing ended up being a pointless farce of a plot. I really hope the remaining episodes can end the season on a better note.

The Nevers: Four episodes into this strange Victorian themed series by Joss Whedon (who also got quickly removed from it) and I have to admit I like it a lot better than expected. There's a certain X-Men feel to it and Laura Donnelly's Amalia True has a Jessica Jones quality to her character. Maladie makes for an amusing enough antagonist but there's definitely a bigger and stranger picture at play and it'll be interesting of between show runners being changed if it can stick the landing.
