What I'm Watching: Loki, Hell House LLC Origins, American Symphony, and More
On seven TV shows, five movies, three books, two podcasts, an audio series, and a bucket list assignment.
Ke Huy Quan, Loki, Marvel/Disney+
Here’s a (kind of?) quick rundown on everything I watched, read, and wrote about last week:
The shows:
- Loki is back, and it’s pretty good! The show’s second season leans too far into the mechanics of its own world, devoting an inordinate amount of screen time to people explaining time science to other people, but it also pulls most of what it tries off thanks to a winning cast and a sense of good humor. Here’s my full review!
- The true crime series 🎥 Murdaugh Murders on Netflix is a hell of a watch – an uncomfortable and infuriating retelling of one of the weirdest murder sagas I’ve ever heard of. Brace yourself for all sorts of surprises (and some unbearably sad moments) in this harrowing but riveting close look at the slow and steady undoing of a wealthy, powerful South Carolina family.
