Midnight Mass (2021)
One of the best shows of all time - no hyperbole
I won't spoil anything but the plot line isn't the focus here anyways. The flawed characters, the grey morality of humanity, existential dread, zealotry, and misinterpretation of history are key themes and what the show is REALLY all about.
Disregard all these reviewers complaining about "overly long monologues" because they're missing the entire point of the show. The dialog between relatable and realistic characters is absolutely key to the show, and it is all so engrossing and fantastically written that even an elongated speech seems too short.
Don't go in expecting a horror show. Yes, there are horror elements - some of them are EXTREMELY horrifying - but the show is about coming to terms with your own flaws and mistakes. It is a character drama of the best kind.
Santa Inc. (2021)
Even disregarding the "woke" content, this is a thoroughly miserable watch
I watched 3 episodes to give it a fair shake. I would have turned it off within 5 minutes if I was thinking clearly.
It's astonishingly bad. None of the jokes land. Literally none. It's just a bunch of swearing and transparent political opinions, crammed down your throat ad nauseum.
Unbelievably unfunny. That's its biggest offense.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (2021)
Stellar performances all around, good-not-great combat
As far as a story goes, this competes with if not surpasses James Gunn's movies. Voice acting is stellar and the facial animations are nearly flawless. The characters are thoroughly sympathic.
Excellent game. I really hope it does well to encourage more games of this quality.
