I wrapped my Psych watch this week, it’s not an amazing tv show but perfectly fun and bingeable. From last week’s options I was intrigued enough by 68 Whiskey, Bone Collector, and Everything’s Gonna Be Okay to give them another show. I’m also excited for the return of The Bold Type on Thursday, the (90 minute) series finale of The Good Place as well as the final half of the final season of Bojack, as well as intrigued to see where Shrill goes which I enjoyed.
If I had to recommend one new show this week it would be giving Nora from Queens a shot, I’d be happy to add a new comedy to the roster.
