I managed to wrap up the series Fleabag (second season of this off comedy even better than the first) and Transparent (some great television throughout the run and while the musical finale wasn’t must see tv it did a decent enough service to the odd tale). And the latest seasons of Goliath (odd but still sort of compelling, I’ll stay tuned for one more final season), Mr Inbetween (the second season leaned further into his brutal ways and worked), and It’s Always Sunny (always manages to find new ways for these terribles to entertain us).
The holiday season brings an odd balance of new, most of which little critical word seems to be available. I did enjoy the first season of reality fares Making It so likely tune back in to that and Project Runway which is back with Christian and Karlie.
