Expanse Season 4 has arrived. At the same time as the new Marvelous Mrs Maisel season.
Oh, and I found this French sci-fi effort called Advitam. It's a really interesting concept, which seems quite well fleshed out. Only of Ep2.
Also rewatching Seinfeld and I think I missed a season so that's nice.

My wife and I have recently started rewatching Scrubs from the beginning. It really is one of the best shows of its kind of all time.

Whatever this is, i am intrigued.
Trailer felt like very little spoilers vs what often feels like plot summary. I have no solid idea what it is even about - but i am interested.

Just going by the title and what we saw, my guess is our protagonist has the ability to skip ahead a few moments and then act through time in reverse, which then plays forward again, like the palindrome of the title. Granted that's just one little piece of the puzzle. If that were the set up, in lesser hands I might think it's prone to fall flat as gimmick punk. But with Nolan at the helm...
Well let me just say I still think his ideas have had lots of foibles when put to film -- I think Memento was his one perfectly executed movie putting idea to screen, although not even his most fun movie; whereas The Prestige, Inception, and Interstellar all had wonky execution at certain points. I mean they were still brilliant, but still the foibles. And I just have an intuition Tenet is going to fit with that latter group. But unlike lesser directors, even when Nolan has foibles, it's still really interesting to watch it play out... Like the blackhole scene in Interstellar when we're no longer in Kansas anymore and it practically breaks into blatant 2001-climax-like metaphor or when the "mission" in Inception started to fray the plot (and Inception even beautifully described its own fraying, explaining that any good scene maker has to hide the plot holes and then it hides its own plot holes), they were still really fun to watch and think about. That's to Nolan's credit.
To be honest though, I really don't know what to expect with this. The closest analog that comes to mind is Source Code, so I'm kind of expecting something along those lines. But already that's not as ambitious as Nolan seems to be going for with this one.

Watching Rossatron's wrap-up of 2019's action movies and realizing there's a whole heap of grade-A Kung-Fu I've missed out on.

Every once in a while you get a show that seems so pitch perfectly tailor made for you it's scary. I just started to watch a new show called Ascendance of a Bookworm and I don't know whether it's the alcohol, but I got hooked from the first episode on. And it's not just that I'm identifying with the main character so much it hurts sometimes. The pacing, the worldbuilding, the characters... it's a pretty great show to watch as a bookworm.
It's in the isekai genre where you usually have a character from the modern world summoned to another, fantasy world and they then go on to easily defeat all adversity thanks to them having a) insanely overpowered abilities and b) modern upbringing and knowledge. Most of it is pretty tropey escapism aimed at young disaffected men. This one is different, though. The main character is a bookworm who, just before attaining her lifelong dream of becoming a librarian, dies in an ironic accident buried under books. And even though her dying wish is to be able to read lots of books in her next life, she gets incarnated as a poor sickly peasant girl in a world that doesn't even have a printing press yet. Anyway, I'm really enjoying it so far.
