Definitely worth checking out, Dark Side of the Ring is a great show in general, but the Benoit two-parter is probably their best one yet, but really depressing as you can imagine. He was my favorite wrestler at the time it happened since I was big into it at the time, but they went over some stuff that even I didn't hear about.

I didn't realise it was a whole series; I thought it was just a one-off thing documenting the Benoit tragedy. The upcoming WWF Brawl for All episode looks like it'll be nuts to see, since I hadn't heard about that one in any capacity before and reading up on it briefly I can agree it sounds like the stupidest shit the WWE ever came up with.
A YouTube interview with Emily Clarkson (Jeremy's daughter):
WrestleMania 36
I always watch this event but was super interested this year because of the lack of crowd. Overall, I'd say it was OK but it didn't feel like the grand spectacle it's supposed to be. Only one match on-site actually felt good, and the other two decent ones didn't even take place on-site and therefore the lack of crowd didn't mean anything because one couldn't be present at the selected locations anyway.
Good on WWE for trying, but if I was a regular viewer of their stuff I'd probably dip out after this and just wait until crowds get to come back. If your biggest event of the year felt lacking without a crowd, then everything else is just going to feel worse.

Some "Break from Life" videos on YouTube. Mainly because I just miss snooker

Avatar: The Last Airbender
Not sure what episode it was, but it's the one where Zuko and Aang meet the dragons.
I have way too many shows in progress to give just one answer to this question really, but I mainly have been binging on The Good Place.
The Legend of Korra: Book One
Started this after finishing Avatar, and got to the end of Book One last night. I have to say that Episode 12 (book finale) felt like the show makers didn't know if they were going to take this series further than 12 episodes, because the way everything wraps up leaves virtually no hint of something else coming along. There's no continuing overarching conflict to resolve, Korra doesn't come off as having anything she has to do, and every problem was resolved.
Amon was a great villain until that episode too. His defeat was poorly done and so anticlimactic. Korra suddenly knowing air bending after she lost her bending was just a head scratcher. By the time Buumi shows up, there's not really anything for him to do because the conflict is implied to already be over. Korra is established to have poor spiritual connections yet suddenly can use the Avatar state with ease. There's no growth left for her because she can do all the bending and the Avatar state. Again, makes it feel this was originally the end of this series.
What should have happened is instead of using air bending to fight Amon, she should have entered the Avatar state to save Mako. Her connection to her previous lives in that state could have given back her bending abilities, and she uses that to fight Amon and defeat him. However, I'd make it that this fight doesn't happen until Buumi has arrived and an all out fight is going down between the benders and Amon's forces. Then, when Amon gets defeated and exposed, it's in front of all his followers and fighters. They all surrender, and seeing his plan is ruined and he can't hope to salvage it, goes on to face the demise he originally has.
Korra meanwhile is shown to have the ability to bend, but it's very weak. She has to improve her spiritual connections to get strong again, building off the idea she is bad with that and that the Avatar state is proof that the spirits can help her get back to normal. That way even though there's no current conflict, we at least have an idea what Korra is going to do moving forward and it makes sense with what was established already.
Watching Faeghast's playthrough (edited for YouTube of course) of a randomised Fire Emblem Three Houses.
Part 1 and
Part 2 are the most worthy of watching for the madness of the starting portion of the game, where a lot of randomisation occurs. If anyone's interested.
Ten (Album) by Pearl Jam
Started off decent, but I think the last four songs are complete shit and ruin the album.
Watching some past Trihex streams. Namely one on the recent...revelations on gaming communities, or rather the Smash Bros. community but I've seen comments it's happening elsewhere too. All of it shocking and just terrible from notable players/other streamers. Although at the moment now I'm watching a different stream of him playing Smash Ultimate. Get some positivity back.

The fuck was I smoking to post about a song in a thread about watching stuff?
Last thing I actually watched was a video @"sunshine queen" posted on TCH about games being $70 and the bullshit 2K is spouting to justify it.
Last thing I watched was this;
Pointless Celebrities
It was an Olympic special, and we were told that the athletes were "about to set off to Tokyo 2020".
Yeah, that aged well...
