Dope Thief (2025)
Katie and I checked out the first two episodes of the show. The first episode is among the strongest I've seen in a while, it was excellent.

Prime Target on AppleTV
I started watching it because it's about math and stuff. I loved Numb3rs. It's not what I expected, but I am enjoying it.
Also, I'm 95% sure the show concept came from wanting to call a show 'Prime Target.'

Hijack (2023) - 3.5/5 Stars
Idris Elba drama about an airplane hijacking. Overall an enjoyable watch if perhaps a bit predictable for me.

Ted Lasso was special
Blog readers know that I have a deep love for this show. This show is something special and I genuinely don't know if I'll ever appreciate another show like it.
Un-fucking-believable.

I am not going to be okay when Ted Lasso ends. This week's episode was so meaningful and amazing.

I find a certain amount of irony that I apparently had to use Windows to redeem my MLS Pass on Apple TV+. I tried to do in Linux and I kept getting an authentication error.
Also, when are they going to release an AppleTV+ app for Android? I'm going to be very frustrated not being able to watch matches on my phone.

What I'm Watching - Aug. 27
For All Mankind (2019)
AppleTV+ - I started this last week and burned through season 1. I'm in Season 2 but my viewing has slowed down. I'm enjoying the show, but I just haven't had the opportunity to continue bingeing it.
What We Do in the Shadows (2019)
FX - Currently my favorite sitcom. It's an amazing and amazingly smart for how stupid it is. Which is basically my perfect description for a comedy.
House of the Dragon (2022)
HBO - The new Game of Thrones show was always on my list to watch. I had a very turbulent relationship with the original show, but I'm watching this to see what different show runners do with it, and with the new story.
Welcome to Wrexham (2022)
Hulu - Just started it today and watched the first two episodes. It's an interesting look but so far I'm not hooked.
And, of course, the biggest show I'm looking forward to but which hasn't arrived yet: Rings of Power, which looks to be coming out Sept. 1 (Thursday.) Dear lord, please be good.

For All Mankind (2019) - 5 of 5 Lunas
Just finished Season 1 of the show. When I tweeted that I was watching it, a friend of mine replied as follows:
Overall, I loved the first season. It wasn't perfect and I have my gripes, but I heartily recommend it to others to check it out.

MLS inks a deal with AppleTV+ for broadcast rights
This article is from the focus of being a Sounders fan, but the deal looks to be very interesting. I think it's very interesting as far as partnerships. MLS definitely trends towards an audience that are somewhat better off financially, so I think it makes a lot of sense for Apple to lean into them for having a better overlap and a willingness to pay for the coverage.
