TV shows currently watching

"Ragnarok" season 3 just dropped on Netflix. It's a Norwegian series set in modern day, based on the old Norse myths. A young man, living in a small town, discovers that he's Thor, reborn, and starts to learn about the other incarnations of gods and other mythical beings. It's sort of reminiscent of "The Almighty Johnsons" (New Zealand series), but they weave more of the actual myths into it.
 
Twisted Metal - So so so good. I barely knew it was based on a video game and that aspect really doesn't matter. Good writing, good acting, and a lot of fun

I'm guessing the more "Clone Wars" you've watched, the better for this show...but I just couldn't get through it all (yet). :-)
 
Rockford Files on DVD
(when I yank the ebrake and crank the wheel to pull a 180 I still refer to it as a "pulling a rockford")
 
Season 2 of "The Wheel of Time" has dropped on Amazon, to very little fanfare. I like it. It's OK, but doesn't feel like it warrants the budget.

Season 5 of "Disenchantment", aka "Medievalrama", is also on Netflix. Good stuff.

If you know the names from The Edda (co-incidentally also the name of the town in which the story takes place), then you can sort of predict the storyline. Not exactly, but close.

I really liked season 1 of “Wheel of Time” and looking forward to season 2.
Apparently the books are quite good.
 
The books are endless ....he just could not finish them. Will give the series a spin.

Ragnarok offered a clever and satifying ending. It was very well cast (y)
Not for everyone tho. Bit of Twin Peaks feel.

Maybe setting up for the follow-up movie "Freya Walk With Me"?
 
Star Trek Strange New World S2 very good so far, very story driven with good depth. Also a great crossover episode with Lower Decks, animated and not, amazing and creative.
