This was a weekend for finishing TV shows. Squid Game is pretty great. The phenomenon is completely understandable.
Ted Lasso S2 finished up. I wish I still had time to write on my blog, because I feel like I have a lot to say about that show. I think S2 was great. Its storylines didn't necessarily mix together perfectly, but I really think each of its main characters' arcs was well done. (Maybe not Rebecca's; she kind of got lost in the mix).
I also finished Dear White People S4. This show took a lot of swings in its last season, and overall I don't think they worked as well as one would hope. The framing device of setting the main plot as a flashback from years in the future kind of worked. Making it a musical kind of worked. The new kids taking over kind of worked. Ending the show on a protagonist being the good guy with a gun taking down a bad guy with a gun I don't think worked. I don't know, overall it felt like the show really tried to go big in ways that didn't necessarily suit the show; but it still left plenty to think about.
