I didn't research this at all, so I guess that's on me for expecting a resolution. The first and only season ends on a cliffhanger. It's adapted from a podcast that ran for three seasons, yet Netflix canceled the TV series after eight episodes despite respectable numbers. I guess I get to experience the same disappointment as everyone else felt when it originally released a few years ago. I have some not insubstantial quibbles with Archive 81 beyond just the way it ends (or doesn't end), but if you're gonna do a big, convoluted, supernatural mystery, you really need more than a mere couple of loose ends tied. This has least a dozen more left dangling.

I feel like the culture of quoting media has kind of died out with the proliferation of media echo chambers, but boy, if there was any media worth quoting, this is certainly up there. I don't quite love this as much as the Tim Robinson fans out there, naturally, but I have to give it up to this series for redefining what narrative humor can be. It's also just so packed with jokes that it give Arrested Development a run for its money for densely-layered humor.

I completely missed this when it dropped, and apparently I'm not the only one. That Michael Shannon & Matthew Macfadyen are getting completely snubbed from awards season this year, not to mention the supporting cast, seems tragic. I didn't know anything about this going in, which is partly by design given much of what occurs in this limited series is pulled from a history book documenting a largely forgotten man and the promise of his presidency cut short. Apparently, President Garfield's great-great-grandson, 73-year-old Tim Garfield, has seen a surge in interest this past year of the historical tourist spots he holds down in Ohio. That the script's historical inaccuracies are mostly small peripheral indulgences for the sake of the form & its ultimate truths seems a great credit to Death by Lightning. I really dug this one, and also - if you like Nick Offerman, his turn as Chester A. Arthur, epic muttonchops & all, is essential viewing.

I stumbled upon this show tonight!!! Its a brilliant take on the lazy immature sitcom husband who lives in the consequence free world. His loyal wife somehow puts up with him except its from the wife's perspective which is a bleak sad world.

It’s fun to watch these again!!

Currently watching "IT: Welcome to Derry"

going back and watching some old 90s animes. trigun was before this and wowie that deserves its own review (coming soon hopefully). yu yu hakusho is a classic shonen with a fun supernatural aspect to it. i'm halfway through and i highly recommend it so far!

My favorite show.
