I finished watching Arcane last night. I can see why it has been getting great reviews. The story and characters are nuanced and the animation is incredible.

My wife has done exactly the same thing… discovered Dexter late last year, binged the earlier seasons through December, and now is eagerly waiting the New Blood finale.

Nice! I’ve watched up to S7 before but stopped there for some reason and when I saw New Blood coming I thought it was the perfect opportunity to rewatch the older seasons and catch up with the ones I did not see initially.

@Solitude, were you asking about Yellowstone and 1883? I don’t know if @Wyvern is using Prime Video over a VPN with a US account, but I don’t see either of them on my local Prime Video.

I’ve been watching them on a TV I have set up at a cosy beach bar on the edge of Pirate Bay Cove.

Prime does have The Expanse, The Wheel of Time, The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel, and all The Grand Tour seasons and specials (and a bunch of other decent stuff). Even so, with the free Twitch sub and the monthly free games on Prime Gaming, at R79pm it is still a decent deal.

Do the free 7 day trial and check if it’s worth your while.

South Park (Season 25)

Following a pair of successful Post COVID specials on Paramount+, the show is returning to Comedy Central for its 25th season on Wednesday, Feb. 2.

Stars Eric Cartman, Kyle Broflovski, Kenny McCormick, Stan Marsh.
Airs on Comedy Central from 2 February.


25 seasons is an amazing accomplishment, and while the creators joke about only being “halfway done”, South Park is far from over.
