  1. With peak tv I don’t know that I’ll tune back into Mary+Jane or Loosely Exactly Nicole (both of which had something enjoyable but…), I did find enough charm, or something, in Queen Sugar to give it another go. Atlanta and Better Things both have that intriguing off comedy comedy that’s worth tuning back in to. And although intrigued by the premise of Son of Zorn it wasn’t a humor that I appreciate.
