Well the shows are finishing up so we have a few that we’ve closed out for now. Fox had Memory of a Killer, which I found to be painful in it’s ridiculous scenarios, Best Medicine which has the charm of a small town but paired with a too closed off Dr played by Josh Charles (who I normally dig), and Doc which I also watch begrudgingly based on the scenarios but end up mostly enjoying. ABC closed out High Potential and Scrubs both of which top my not so serious faves. Another no so serious fave Wild Cards managed another ridiculous but fun finale. HBO also wrapped up fave The Pitt as well as new DTF St Louis which was poignant and overall successful, note if you have seen Patriot you know Conrad can do sad guy shows (that was a sleeper fave).
Catching up with some of my Amazon backlog, Deadloch which I enjoyed though maybe not as much as the first season (this one was a little shorter so maybe less time to develop), as well as Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat which I’m glad they kept the protagonist sweet but as someone who hates a prank found it not all that entertaining, and Steal which was a short heisty caper with some twists but didn’t totally pull me in.
For movies I tried The Testament of Ann Lee on Hulu which for me wasn’t all that successful, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple on Netflix which was a solid personal dynamic struggle. Crime 101 which had all the ingredients of fun and yet lacked some, and Pretty Lethal which had enough fun (and gore) to make up for it’s silliness, both on Amazon.
