TV and such

[lea_hazel]

I mostly watch stuff on Netflix so that I can have something on while I'm eating dinner, or catch up on stuff at my mother's because she has satellite and gets a lot of the shows that Netflix doesn't stock in Israel. So I'm often not even up to date with shows that I do follow, because streaming is frankly more trouble than it's worth, most of the time. And my total inability to keep track of time means I never know what's coming when unless my brother keeps me up to date.

That said...

Two weeks ago I accidentally watched the entire run of the new She-Ra in the course of a single Saturday. And then this Wednesday I somehow watched the entire run of The Dragon Prince in a single evening. Apparently I watch cartoons again? And it's cool, because it works for me right now. So now it's Saturday afternoon and I'm gonna start watching Trollhunters, because why not.

Trollhunters evolves a lot, so if S1 (especially the first half) is too kiddie/high-school-y for you, don't worry, it'll get better.

I was just wondering about that. I got to the changeling parts of season 1 and things are starting to get interesting. For some reason, though, I assumed that it was more a portal fantasy with transportation to another world, not an urban/contemporary fantasy thing.

There's portal elements later? Significant portal elements, even. Of two different kinds.

But yeah, I found the first part of S1 borderline watchable. The second part of S1 has Angor Rot so that's an immediate plus, and then S2 and S3 take a bunch of sharp turns - the S2 finale is a "Did you just DO that" sort of a thing.

(You're going to get pissed off about the show's handling of Angor. And probably feel there were wasted opportunities with Morgana. I have the fixit fork-in-the-road fic for Angor, but haven't taken on the Morgana task.)
