The Monkey King Reborn on Amazon. I have a thing about Sun Wukong and the Journey to the West, having read some it. So when I see a Monkey King movie or series, I watch it.
Season two of 'The Witcher' feels like it really dialed in to the good aspects of season one. It's a much better show this time around.

Lilyhammer on Netflix. Steven Van Zandt of the Sopranos plays an New York Mafiso in witness protection. He picks Lilyhammer as nobody would suspect him of going there. Not realistic, but a lot of fun watching Van-Sandt steam roll peace-nic Norwegian culture.
It was a typical CGI Asian animation, not to deep in plot. A major demon returns and threatens Sun Wukong's master monk and society, With a fight and the all is lost but let's find a power up, the Monkey King takes him down.
It was entertaining if you like the genre.
After watching some more Southland, I realize how much better of a show Adam 12 is. Southland could have been so good, but it was over the top with how screwed up everyone was. Not to mention there are enough detective shows out there and having a patrol focused show would be refreshing.
Adam 12 may be little cheesy at times, but I think it's better.
A show somewhere between Adam 12 and Southland would be nice to see.
The Book of Boba Fett - off to a fun start.
The Matrix Resurrections - thought it was just meh. Over 20 years later, it's hard to approach the concept with the same wow factor. I'd much rather have John Wick 4 now and Matrix 4...never?
Tenet - kind of a fun ride, trippy, some cool cinematography with the inverted time. Kept me intrigued for a couple hours at least.

The Great on Hulu, about Catherine the Great, is fun. But if you know any Russian history, you have to shut your mind off to enjoy it.
Peter III was not the son of Peter the Great, Catherine was almost twice as old as shown in the show when she took power, she didn't invent the Molotov Cocktail, the actual coup was bloodless, Peter himself was killed eight days later (supposedly dying of "hemorrhagic colic", the Russian equivalent of "excited delirium").
