EVE Online can be as solo or team-oriented as you want it to be - from solo hunting in wormhole space to 1000+ player fleets in low-security or null-security space (although I find those boring because you mostly have no agency besides shooting when the fleet leader says shoot or repairing whoever needs it). IMO small gang fights of 5-20 per side are where the combat really hits well, gives you a variety of role options where every player makes a difference.

My 2nd favorite QOTSA behind ...Like Clockwork (SFTD is a close #3)

I know it's objectively not the best song on the album but I love the groove and feel of The Evil Has Landed (and the solos are sick)

I thought the writing with the adult cast was generally good minus a few bits that they just kind of don't address (or barely) - think ::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Taisa's whole Senate thing and to a lesser extent Simone/Sammy, whatever was actually going on with Adam, what was actually going on with Lottie's cult, etc :::

But it was good enough that it kept us engaged.

My wife and I are just finishing up an immediate rewatch of Yellowjackets and it's damn good. Think Lord of the Flies but more modern and with a highly-competitive high school girls' soccer team instead of prep school boys (although their coach and another coach's sons are there too), and you also get to see how the experience shapes them after the fact.

Some characters you don't expect to like end up being great, and the acting is fantastic throughout. The pacing for seasons 2-3 isn't quite as tight as the first season but it's still really good, hoping the last season holds up too when it comes out.
