[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 8915312, member: 57112"] Trying to think of things I watched in 2022 that are from 2022. The list isn't super long, I guess. TV Shows: [B]Great[/B] Secrets of Sulphur Springs (S2) - Easily the second best live-action show on Disney+ not already associated with a major franchise. Acting and writing are way better than it has any right to be. The Mysterious Benedict Society (S2) - Easily the best live-action show on Disney+ not already associated with a major franchise. And maybe without. Tony Hale is putting on a clinic, the kids are all excellent. Seriously, do not sleep on Disney's Middle Adult content, it's pretty good. Owl House (S2/3) - Despite being absolutely screwed by the Network, this is the best animated family show period. Yes, better than She-ra. And Avatar. And the Duck Tales reboot. Wheel of Time (S1) - I don't get it fam, I really don't. This was really good. My partner and I watched it, read [I]Eye of the World[/I], then re-watched it, and it was even better. Just excellent. Sandman - Struggled early on but turned into one of the best shows of 2022. [B]Good[/B] Midnight Club - Definitely the weakest entry in Mike Flannigan's annual Netflix spooky show ouvre, but that's honestly not saying much. A bunch of really excellent young actors and stories let down by a muddied overarching story banking on a second season that will never come. Every one of these kids should be in more things, immediately. Ms. Marvel - Probably the best of the Marvel TV shows without Hailee Steinfield and Florence Pugh, even if it has the incredibly weird Marvel TV show pacing. Obi-Wan - It was neat. Really nice to see Hayden get a chance to actually act well. Baby Leia was sufficiently sassy. Flea was born to play a rando Star Wars bounty hunter. Vampire Academy - Didn't quite get to where it needed to be, but had incredibly potential. Too bad streaming hates shows like this so we won't get to see how it goes. Great to see J. August Richards killing it in meaty roles still. [B]Okay[/B] She-Hulk - Wanted it to be better than it was. Still not terrible though. Vox Machina (S1) - The world needs fewer horny bards.
