After the decade long year we just had, I want to appreciate how good the escapism TV has been for me. There has been some dynamite TV and YouTube. Some of these predated the pandemic but are wonderful for a rewatch.
Netflix Altered Carbon (scifi)
The Witcher (fantasy)
Shadow and Bone (fantasy)
Middleditch and Schwartz (humor)
Hulu Fargo Season 1 (suspense)
How To WIth John Wilson (humor documentary)
HBO Watchmen Series (drama)
Speaking of ground breaking television, Stranger Things was a delight. One of the many reasons I loved it was the familiarity. There are many call backs to some of the best moves from the 70’s and 80’s and it just all felt so familiar but new at the same time. Ulysse Thevenson on Vimeo has a side by side comparison of shots from Stranger Things with shots from all the great movies.
From AppAdvice:
Instead of navigating the on-screen keyboard, the tvOS beta offers you one more way to enter your login information. You can dictate your username and password, one character at a time, which makes logging in much easier. The service works well for me, but you do have to speak slowly and clearly to avoid mixing up like-sounding letters such as “f” and “s.”
This was a bewildering omission in the new AppleTV.
Yeah, Gravity Falls is pretty great. So is the wiki.
