I think the producers got a note saying they needed diversity, but they didn't want to introduce Black villains, so instead they introduce the idea that Ruth is a huge hip-hop fan and meets Killer Mike in a bar. So corny.
I would have loved to see the alternate cut where Ruth was like "hey, Killer Mike. I like all of your activism in favour of the 2nd ammendment! I love me some guns!"

Kids In The Hall has come back with a new season on Amazon, the first in almost 30 years. The previous KITH reunion shows weren't very positively received, and didn't follow the same sketch format.
New show seems pretty good. Lots of jokes for the modern era, tackling 'cancel culture' and other current topics. Lots of beloved characters returning as well (the secretaries, "Gavin", headcrusher, etc). I've enjoyed the first few episodes.
Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

Moon knight - Oscar Isaac is excellent. First several episodes are great. Talking hippo jumps the shark. Still liked it, and obviously this is content straight from the comics, but... it didn't live up to the initial potential which was immense.

Finally finished Ozark and I'm glad to be done. That show felt really stressful to me, for whatever reason. The constant tension is just not buttressed enough with lighthearted stuff, I guess. I enjoyed the final stretch at least as much as the rest of the show, probably more. I was hoping for some massive redemption arc but that would have been out of character.
Catching up now on Better Call Saul - still one of the best shows of all time, imo.
My son is also determined to get me into anime. I really try, but that genre is so annoying. Have been watching Hunter X Hunter. It's ok, I guess.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Anime TV isn't a major interest for me, but I can recommend a few good ones.
Paranoia Agent is a limited series, I think 12 episodes. It's incredible. Full episodes are all on YouTube. I love the mix of genres, Sci fi and mystery, with a lot of weirdness. I imagine it as somewhat David Lynch-ian.

On the actual anime front, you may like a more realistic sports anime. An old school one I recently discovered and watched is a boxing anime called Hajime no Ippo. I wouldn't call it great, but it avoid a lot of what I suspect annoys you about anime, so it might be something you could tolerate watching with your son. It is grounded and not over-the-top. I'm not a boxing fan, but I still enjoyed it. I imagine a boxing fan would like it more.

Stranger Things was pretty intense. It was so long since I saw the last episodes that it was kinda hard to remember. But didn't really matter too much. Looking forward to the next episodes---------------------------------------------

Obi Wan Kenobi has been quite good so far, including a pretty unexpected (at least to me) battle. I'm in hog heaven with all these awesome Star Wars and Marvel shows and movies. Keep 'em coming! Super fun.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

I started watching the first episode of The Wheel of Time and immediately got sucked into the "uh, this isn't how the books go" silliness. The show seems like it has some promise but I might have ruined my watching experience by reading that interminable series. Plus, none of the characters look at all like I pictured them in my mind, lol.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.
