“We got to create a formula for how they would engage with the Morpho, their life potential, and where it took them. That was a really fun way to explore each character. All of the characters evolve in different ways at different times.”

This series is so good, it is so good. An excellent piece of sci-fi. Very witty and fun.

In My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, ponies get their cutie mark (the picture every pony has on their butt) when they discover their special talent. Imagine getting a magical tattoo when you discover your dream job. The show even features a group of young ponies who haven't gotten theirs yet and spend all their free time trying new things to figure out what they're good at.
Apple TV thinks this premise would be better within the rainbow horses, and guest starring Seattle’s mystery vending machine.

Top 7 Watches of 2023
Yesterday I did my top books from the past year, so I thought I'd make today all about the best TV shows I watched this year. Again, in no particular order:
Season 2 of Good Omens was very much a transitional season (so I think we all agree that it's a really good thing we're getting season 3) but it still had madcap adventures, unrequited longing, and theological mystery. Also, it's really, really queer.
Speaking of shows that were a wild mix of adventure and irreverent theology, way too may people slept on Mrs. Davis, which I absolutely adored. It starts out as an over-the-top adventure and the next thing you know, you're thinking about the nature of faith and the universe and AI. Highly, highly recommend.
I held off on watching The Wheel of Time for a long time because I could never get into the books despite loving epic fantasy. However, the show is fabulous - and the female characters particularly shine.
I love a small town story, especially one with a magical mystery and I really enjoyed The Big Door Prize from Schitt's Creek writer David West Read. The characters really reflect a range of reactions to the revelations of the door prize machine, resulting in a cascading number of secrets that are exposed.
Going in, I didn't expect to like Shrinking as much as I did, but it really finds the perfect line between funny and emotional. Harrison Ford is clearly having the time of his life playing the grumpy mentor and the supporting cast provides the perfect backdrop for Jason Segal's character's bad decision-making.
This show. The second it was over I was desperate for more. Imagine a classic British murder mystery, expect that it's set in Australia. And there are lesbians. So many lesbians. Deadloch is both laugh-out loud funny and the twistiest murder mystery I've watched. Every guess I made was wrong and yet the final solution was absolutely perfect. The two leads are a classic oil and water pairing who eventually figure out how to work together with so much heart and emotional depth. It's wonderful all the way around.
So, there's this dysfunctional family who owns a rundown motel in the middle of nowhere in rural Canada...no, I'm not talking about Schitt's Creek (for once). Moonshine is a Canadian show about five siblings who take over the family vacation resort and have to work together to save it. There are criminal shenangians and hot bikers and a lot of growth and found family vibes.
Honourable Mention:
What did you watch this year?

I just watched the first episode of The Big Door Prize. And man…… the moment Dusty’s reads the blue card it felt it like it happened to me. I’m at a crossroads in my life and I would love for a machine to tell me what I should be doing right about now. But just my luck, I would get a result like Dusty. Lol
