Amazing drama with great acting by Brendan Fraser and some good thought-provoking messages. Got really emotional by the end.

I had watched this one many years ago and remember not liking it very much. After rewatching it, I was surprised… it’s actually pretty good!

It’s kind of a soft reboot after the series’ story ending in Season 5, so it’s understandable that most people didn’t like it back then. But when you’re not expecting a continuation and instead understand it’s a reboot, it’s actually pretty enjoyable.

Fun episodes and interesting arcs (that honestly could have lasted a bit longer). I might even say it’s better than seasons 2 and 3.

Holy shit, what an incredible movie.

Tense, intense, beautiful, terrifying.

A surprisingly good show, a far cry from The Big Bang Theory. Sheldon is in the title, but the supporting characters are what really steal the show. They’re varied, complex, and above all, funny. It ended at the right time and in a beautiful way.

The idea of this being a “Poker Roguelike”, two things I don’t really like, kept me off the game for a while. Luckily, it being included on Apple Arcade gave me the nudge to try it out. And I’m glad I did!

It’s so easy to start, and hard to stop. Addictive, satisfying, and overall so fun to play.

Whatever this movie had working on its favor on the first half is completely lost on the latter half. A lot of disjointed narratives that don’t seem to go anywhere.
