Watching: I honestly don't watch that much tv on a regular schedule; it's often netflix or not for me unless it's the Good Place, which I watch religiously. Lovesick is still rather charming and a strong romcom, even if I am squinting at nobody being content being single and for the non-monogamous woman the third lead 'fell for' changing her mind and giving a relationship a go; I sort of hope they both realize that she was right and she does enjoy being single while he realizes he wants the relationship and finds someone else who does as well. Antonia Thomas is still gorgeous.

The End of the F***ING world: Sharp, vivid romance that is completely dependent on the actors' chemistry. Short episodes that use every single minute. Hilarious and painful and near perfect. Deals with some heavy topics.

On the movie front: Atomic Blonde was stylish fun but the plot was 'ehhh'.
