- Killing Eve, Season 1 Ep 1. This has come highly recommended so I’m excited to watch it!
- The Bachelorette, Season 15 Eps 1-3. There’s a bar in Somerville that airs this weekly, so I got caught up and went with my friend. It’s my first season of any Bach show and it is… quite interesting. 😂

Thank you so much for mentioning my post! I will never, ever enough of reading discussion posts on the Women’s Prize. I absolutely need to read the other posts you linked!
Also, Detektive Pikachu was so nostalgic! The movie where we meet Mewtwo is still the best one in my opinion and it was great to see him again. I confess I went to see the movie twice although, as you say, it’s not an objectively great movie. But I had such a great time. Did you think Lucy was basically Misty??

Np!! I love all the discussion posts. I unfortunately didn’t remember enough about Misty to make the connection, but she was similarly enthusiastic and independent for sure!
