The Tomorrow War
I had gotten into Ted Lasso about halfway through its first season last year because I, like many others, were just scoffing at the concept that was based on some goofy TV spots from years ago. But, being an Apple TV+ subscriber, I’ll try almost anything they produce for at least an episode because you never know.

The one big thing that I got into that I managed to make some good progress on was
Katla. An eight-episode series from Iceland, I got through the first six over the week and just love the weirdness of it and the gorgeous visual design for it. It comes from one of the creators behind
