Review Day

There are no major spoilers in these reviews.

Scaled and Icy by twenty-one pilots:
A surprisingly fun and poppy album that's way better than Trench although a little on the short side. Shy Away is a good, representative track from this album.

Final Grade: B+

Silo, Season One:
This is an excellent adaptation of Hugh Howey's book, Wool. It doesn't follow the story exactly, but for the first time ever while watching an adaptation, I felt like every single creative change served to make the story even better on TV. On AppleTV+.

Final Grade: A+

Ted Lasso, Season One:
This warm-hearted comedy is about an American football coach hired to coach a weak UK football team despite knowing nothing about soccer. The mix of characters and individual character arcs are well-done. On AppleTV+.

Final Grade: B+

Mythic Quest, Season One:
I loved this show about a game company building a World of Warcraft-like MMO. The gaming bits are spot on, but the show also works well in the dysfunctional workplace genre. The quarantine episode, filmed in the first month of the pandemic, was pitch perfect. On AppleTV+.

Final Grade: A
