This week’s accomplishments include finishing out some gym viewing with Grace & Frankie and the series wrap of Love, both of which were about as fulfilling as they needed to be. I also hit the three part series A Very English Scandal which starring Hugh Grant’s deep side part and a host of great acting made it worth a watch for a look into this political scandal. I sampled Carter from last week which in peak tv didn’t quite make the list and without good reviews of All About the Washingtons or Insatiable, that leaves me with Lodge 49 which was definitely intriguing enough to go for another. I’m also kind of sticking with both Burden of Truth, a decent enough legal drama (for summer) and the reality competition Making It, which isn’t amazing but fun to see the random crafts these folks come up with.
