Month in Media - September 2017 [#40]

Whilst you wouldn't know it due to a monumental lack of posts, we've been on a steady upwards trajectory for the last few months in terms of films and shows watched. Well, then September hit and we just... stopped. Despite a very clear binge of The Defenders (I think we're now fully addicted to Netflix's arm of the MCU), most of this month has been spent not consuming media. Which has been a fun change of pace, in many ways.

Ongoing Media

TV - Rick and Morty (Season 3) Utterly brilliant so far, absolutely hate the weekly release schedule (definitely a show that needs to be consumed in intense hits).

TV - American Gods - Another slow burner, though for different reasons, chiefly how you really need your thinking hat on to stand much of a chance understanding what's happening. Very good so far, though.

Update 13/06/2020: With the launch of the reviews section all content has been migrated to new pages (see links below). Please refer to that section for updates, records, and more Month in Media content. This article can be considered "archived" and only kept to preserve URLs and non-review content.

TV

The Defenders

tl;dr: So much action-packed goodness with a great plot and yet further fantastic performances from the central cast. Frankly, Netflix are beginning to rival their silver screen relatives in terms of deserved hype.

A Series of Unfortunate Events (Season 1)

tl;dr: A nearly perfect adaptation. Where, in this instance, the word nearly means almost entirely, barring only the slightest possible chance of an overlooked error or two.
