I finally watched the two latest seasons of one of my favorite TV shows of all time. How did I go three years without watching? Well...I was preoccupied with a new relationship and a new niece when this season came out. What a fantastic season--"Twentica" is probably my favorite episode but they were all wonderful. I especially enjoyed the character Butler in "Krysis" and the hilarious polymorphing shenanigans in "Can of Worms."

Grant and Naylor never seem to run out of ideas for Red Dwarf and I'm so glad. Each episode of each season has something to offer and Season XII was a delight. "Mechocracy" was my favorite episode but the scary relevance of "M-Corp" and the multiverse commentary of "Skipper" were brilliant, too. I love this show so much. Can't wait to see the film that came out in 2020!
