You can skip through the first one. It's about a show that used to be popular with nerd gamers that they tried to bring back woke-ified, but it didn't work. Sounds like it lost a lot of money though.
The other 4 you might know.

Oh no! Women and minorities in a sci-fi/fantasy show!

Is that what it was?
You know, when I saw Obi Wan Kenobi on the list I couldn't remember if I saw it.
After a little searching though my memory though, I did. I remembered seeing it.
Apparently the producers are making a big deal about some black actress they hired.
Now that character, whoever she was, I really can't remember at all.
So my criticism would be maybe make something more memorable.
I do remember them retconning a rebirth of Darth Vader though. That was so dumb I did remember it. So maybe not the wrong kind of memorable.

Pretty major deviation from the game on the third episode of The Last of Us. But it was a beautiful deviation. While I kinda missed Bill and Ellie sassing each other from the game, the episode was done with such heart and care that by the end it didn’t matter.

I'm actually quite surprised at this... the TV channel we watch M*A*S*H reruns on has been advertising that they will be adding an oldie to their lineup on Sundays starting next week... All in the Family. I haven't seen reruns of those for so many years now I don't even recall. I'm actually looking forward to watching them. We all need a good laugh nowadays and that 70's perspective on issues still relevant today will be interesting to see again.

I remember watching that a long time ago too. I still remember the first episode I watched. Meathead wants to put his friends up for the night. Except they’re a couple but not married yet and so Archie says no. A very old school point of contention by todays standards.
Had hopes The Ark might be decent. Kept watching even with their hokey predictable plots and characters and the obligatory "we must stick together to survive - you go off this way, you go off that way" shit. But the very science is like something current from DISC channel... there's a helium compound in their cabin air, they flew lightyears in suspended animation and orbited the colony planet but didn't know the 'ocean' wasn't water, it was liquid methane. OMG! The remake of Lost In Space was 1000x better....

The first two episodes of this show have been quite good and fairly intriguing....
Rebecca Ferguson in all her awesome and lady-sweaty glory. Sigh.

This was pretty solid for a bunch of mostly unknown actors.
