2025 TV Reviews



Squid Game
September 17, 2021 – ?? 2025
★★★★★

So, this one's going to have to be continued when season 3 comes out and we watch that. We re-watched season 1 before season 2 so we could remember what happened, and even though it took 4 years (!!) for the follow ups to come out, the show is still amazing. I love the social commentary, and while Hwang (the writer) hasn't admitted it, this is actually inspired by true events! So, it's important, in my opinion, that the world watches this and realizes that shit like this, while somewhat exaggerated, really happens. Read about Brother's Home and maybe check out the RottenMango podcast about it as well!

Yellowjackets

★★★★☆

I have been hearing about this show for years and had no idea what the hell it was. Then, when I started reading about it, when I realized Melanie Lynsky and Christina Ricci were in it, I was like "fine, I guess I'll watch it" especially knowing that a new season is coming out this year. So, like Squid Game, I'll have more to add to this later. While the plot hasn't necessarily answered anything yet... It's still a fun, tense, and nostalgic watch! And I love the soundtrack!

Paranoia Agent
February 3, 2004 – May 18, 2004
??

This is an anime series I've wanted to watch for years, since it's written by Satoshi Kon and Susumu Hirasawa does the music. I've seen images and stills from it throughout my life, but hey, it's okay that it only took me 21 years to actually finally see it! I'm not done with it yet, so I can't say anything until then.

Futurama

This, of course, is the new iteration of Futurama, because if you're a Futurama fan, you know it's been cancelled like... twice (? three times?). This is the newer season / series on Hulu, which picks up where they left off in 2013. I haven't finished with this yet either, but I can say, the humor, style, and feel of it seems to be the same to me and that's all that matters!
