TV series:

- Dark Angel. I somehow missed this during it's original broadcast run, and only just now went back and watched it. I don't think it's streaming anywhere legit, so I went the bittorrent route. I really enjoyed it. Season One is definitely stronger than Season Two, but it kept me pretty engaged for the entire series.

- Max Headroom. I'd seen the entire series before, but I went back for a re-watch. I love this show.

- Person of Interest. Same deal, I'd seen the entire run previously, but did a complete re-watch.

Movies:

I don't think I watched any contemporary movies this year. I mostly watched old cyberpunk movies and "cyberpunk adjacent" sci-fi. Not sure anything I watched was exactly great but a couple stood out as interesting at least (in various ways)

- 964 Pinocchio

- Tetsuo: The Iron Man

- New Rose Hotel

Also saw an interesting psychological horror / thriller titled "Open 24 Hours" that wasn't bad. And a movie titled "Synchronic" that was pretty good.

Informative / educational videos:

- N.J. Wildberger's "History of Mathematics" series

Mr Inbetween- Australian series about a hitman whose life is caught "inbetween" his family and his job. The main character (Ray Shoesmith) is played by Scott Ryan who created and wrote the series which is based on an earlier film he made called "The Magician" which is a documentary based on following the same hitman around. Scott Ryan's performance in Mr Inbetween is amazing considering that he's not an actor and his grin is one of the scariest things that I've seen.

- Anora: really good movie. Bit rude at the start but leaves you thinking about it a long time after. Also ended up arguing a lot with my whife what it was actually about. - The Return: not bad a bit long but a good rendition. - Day of the Jackal: This was good series.

Olympic's 100 meters finals.

Being there was incredible cool to experience. The atmosphere was of pure emotion, and watching the fastest people in the world compete with eachother felt like a privilege.
