Short Reviews 24Q3

Being a list of brief notes on other culture consumed over the this quarter of the year that I either abandoned or don’t feel needs a longer discussion.

Botany Manor- XBox.Looks good, like the motion sickness reduction options, lack of time pressure, maps and a straightfoward first puzzle. Unfortunately I'm still stuck on the second one!

The Acolyte- Disney+.(Abandoned) Looks good, but just couldn't get involved with the characters to spend more time with it, sorry. Second season cancelled anyway!

Cowboy Bebop- Netflix.I came to this without prior knowledge of previous incarnations so I really enjoyed it on its own merits. I loved the characters and the story was good and there was lots of actual fun to be had watching so I was disappointed that it was cancelled. Yah boo Netflix!

Yellowstone- Paramount+.This is a really impressive piece of television with great characters and an intriguing premise. But rather like the Yellowstone ranch itself this just seems to be too big to swallow! Four seasons, of hour long shows and two prequels shows. I'm not sure how much of this I can actually take on...

Yarn- XBox.A delightful gameplay mechanic and beautifully coloured scenery for a fun little game, but as always with these things it seemed to get to a point where button bashing precision was needed to advance on the safe point was a long way behind and I just lose patience and can’t be bothered to continue.

Gran Turismo- Sky cinema.Abandoned soon after starting. Lots of rather dull races and I cant really see the point of spending 2+ hours watching this!
