Movies and TV Shows that I actually got to.
This is a catch all for all the Movies and TV shows I consumed and liked. Movie links use Letterboxd, TV links are from Serialized. I have only counted Movies that released and TV shows that ended in 2023 and I actaully had time to watch. There are still a few that are running now that I am waiting to watch until they finish airing (The Curse, Monarch, Fargo Season 5, For All Mankind Season 4).

Oppenheimer - Link
💬It’s certainly a Nolan film with a deafening score, but once you get past that it’s a great telling of a man who genuinely regrets his decisions in life.
Killers of the Flower Moon - Link
💬Scorsese on top of his game, Lily Gladstone owns the screen.
The Holdovers - Link
💬This movie was a charming tale of a group of people that are damaged in various ways trying to find joy during the holidays.
American Symphony - Link
💬I wasn’t super familiar with Batiste’s work before seeing this documentary but watching how he maintains joy and optimism in the hardest times was a real treat.
Asteroid City - Link
💬I’m an unapologetic Wes Andersen fan, but this film needed no apologies. Each actor played their part perfectly.

📺Top TV Shows📺
The Last of Us (Season 1) - Link
💬This was a pretty faithful adaptation, and both Pedro and Bella perfectly embody Joel and Ellie.
The Bear (Season 2) - Link
💬If season 1 toed the line of insanity and Carmy’s slow decent into self sabotage, season 2 showed us why he is the way he is and how deep that decent can be.
Blue Eye Samurai (Season 1) - Link
💬Blue Eye was a surprise for me, I’m a fan of animation but Netflix tends to be hit or miss. This was a real hit.
Scavengers Reign (Season 1) - Link
💬The animation was spot on here, showing a planet that isn’t necessarily hostile just truly alien.
Silo (Season 1) - Link
💬I almost waited to watch this until 2024 but decided to binge watch it real quick over my vacation. I really enjoyed the mystery of it all can can’t wait for season 2
