summer media
TV:
Dexter (Seasons 1-8, 2004-2010):i rewatched this whole show. i like rewatching show idk. the first season of dexter is really sooo good. it slowly goes down hill from there i think, but also how could it not? since the first season is so good. and by the last couple seasons its just a hot mess and i hate dexter.
Dexter: Original Sin (Season One, 2025):ok this is the prequel show. overall it was alright. i think i watched it just cuz type shit. it was interesting delving a lil more into dexter’s past and they did a good job casting for the younger versions of the characters so that was fun to see.
Dexter: Resurrection (Season One, 2025): ok so this one im really enjoying. its still airing now but we’re nearing the end. having a lot of fun watching. i think it’s better than New Blood too.
Twisted Metal (Season Two, 2025):ok ik ive been talkin a lot about fun but like this show is FUN. i think it just does a great job of like balancing serious + heartfelt + silly + violence. i never rly played the games ive just seen some videos but from what i’ve seen i think they really like capture the essence of the game and also like retro gaming in general somehow? i guess i dont rly know fr tbh but there’s just somethin about this show....... i love it.
Common Side Effects (Season One, 2025):soo good dude. one of the guys who created this show was also a co-creator of Scavenger’s Reign, which i talked about last year when it came out. (his name is Joseph Bennett) yeah i love both shows a lot. go read my other post if u want more of my thoughts on scavenger’s reign (TLDR; it’s sick af u should watch for ur self) anyway. as expected the animation for common side effects goes crazy. obsessed with the big ass head character design. animator Benjy Brooke was supervising director on both shows, and ive been a fan of his work for a lil while now. i think i first learned of him from the strokes music video for at the door. luh that vid.
i want u to just watch the show + i hate like explaining the plot so im not rly gonna do that but basically theres a magic mushroom and big pharma and a tortoise named Socrates.
Midnight Gospel (2020)speaking of animation i wanna throw this show a quick shout out bc i was recently reminded of it. its so, soo underrated. its earnest and silly and profound and weird and existential. the animation is excellent so i do recommend actually watching, but its the type of show you can also just listen to. in fact, it’s pretty much podcast format. ugh pls check it out.
...and you know what im not even gonna talk bout movies rn idc... and u know what i was bouta share music and books but idt ima do that rn now either. im thinkin maybe they should get their own posts so yeah i guess thats it just video games and tv for u today ok bye<3
