I am not totally clear on streaming and the dvr backlog but I’ve cranked through enough stuff that I’m ready for a little more variety. And delighted if it’s of the lighter fare, the catch up on The Americans, Legion, and Mr. Robot among others is leaving me a little traumatized. Happy to see the return of one of my fave fluffy series Younger and Claws and the complex synth and human relationships in Humans this week.
