Ticking off the Halloween watch list.

I do realize the bizarre, preposterously first-world narcissism of bragging online about which TV shows you’ve watched.  I’m doing it anyway.

Hey, I’m trying to get into the spirit of Halloween.  And it’s my blog, I figure.

This is how I’ve marked the season so far:

  1.  “Midnight Mass” (2021).  Outstanding!
  2. “The Walking Dead” Season 11 mid-season finale (2021). Predictably quite good.
  3. The start of “Fear the Walking Dead” Season 7 (2021).  The sets and special effects are still top-notch — but Episode 1 was disappointingly confusing and weird.
  4. “Suck” (2009).  Really funny and surprisingly engaging.  Even the music was really good.
  5. The start of “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” Season 2 (2021).  Yeesh.  It started off confusing — then turned vaguely unexciting.  I thought all its unprecedented exposition for this fictional universe would be exciting, but it curiously is not.
  6. The start of “What We Do in the Shadows” Season 3 (2021).  Hilarious!

I have a dear, wise friend whose eyes can turn any of the varying shades of blue that you see in this photo — depending on the day’s light and her day’s fortunes. 

Someday we’re going to get to see Norway.
