The Worst Witch [All series]


Well, I finally re-watched the whole thing yesterday. And by the whole thing, I mean all of the different series, excluding only the Weirdsister College. I might do that as well if I really have nothing else to watch, but so far, I do have some things left. Back to the Worst witch. The 2017 remake is the best. Honestly. Pippa Pentangle and Hecate Hardbroom are the absolute best thing in the whole thing. Bummer Pippa is in only two episodes. Oh well… Nothing to do about it now. I mean, nothing against the original series or the 'New Worst Witch', but the remake is the best. Yes, a lot of the things there are very much different than what's in the original, but I think it actually makes it better. New things for us to see while keeping some of the old. For example, we get more of Mildred's backstory and even get to see her mom and, by season 4, her dad.

Umbrella Academy - Season 2

 Took me two days to watch the second season. And some months to force myself to do it. I was postponing it like crazy. In my defense, I had some pretty cool anime and a Chinese drama to finish first. Major spoiler to start. Because I'm not happy about it. We lose Ben somewhere in the last two episodes of this season. Permanently. Or at least it seems that way. But he finally passes on, after saving Vanya. And he was always my favorite character so I'm really not happy about it, but considering Umbrella Academy has a thing about not everything being as it seems at first glance, I'm gonna wait and see what season 3 has to say about it. 

The siblings are scattered in (I think) three years before Kennedy's assassination. And then they reunite and try to get back home. In the process of doing that, Diego gets locked in an asylum, Luther is something like a cage fighter or something similar in some underground rink or something, I'm not entirely clear on that. Allison gets married, Klaus starts a cult, Ben learns he can possess someone and falls in love, Five witnesses another apocalypse and Hazel's death and Vanya loses her memory and then falls in love. With a woman. Not that that's important. What is important is that she saves a kid's life and somehow gifts him her powers. Or more like a copy of her powers, because she doesn't lose hers.
