It has been a month since the last one of these posts, so a good time for attempt #2.

As before, the idea behind this is to have a weekly post where learners of all levels, heritage and native speakers can post the Chinese content they have been consuming this week in whatever form.

If people also give an indication of their level (or the level of content) as well it can act as a way for people to discover new content which may be suitable for them.

Edit: not sure why all of my posts here get immediately downvoted. Would be great if downvoters could contribute their own content.

As for me I have been watching:

Blades of the Guardians (镖人）- this is a new animated series, which I have been very impressed by. Probably the best animated series I have seen so far coming out of China, accessible to intermediate plus learners and available for free on YT:

Wave Makers (人选之人—造浪者) - a Taiwanese series on Netflix that has been getting a lot of attention, about campaign staff. It hasn't really captured me yet, but I'll probably finish it as its only 8 episodes.

Not consuming media, but I've finally started using my tandem-app to chat with people. Hoping to improve my grammar this way.

Nothing better than using the language - is tandem mostly text or audio?

It depends on your tandem-partner, and your own preferences. You can send voice mails or stick to text only. It also offers to look for tandem-partners in your area, so you can meet-up, if you'd like.

I can make another post this coming weekend, see if it fares a little better!
