new and noteworthy tv: 8/17-8/30

Dead Pixels

This week’s completed seasons included Dear White People, which I overall still really dig but maybe not as much as last season, Big Mouth, which is one of those shows I’m not sure why I find funny but I do, and The Boys which I can’t wait for this next season to see what these guys will be into. Still lots of backlog, I guess at some point I need to narrow down again but I can worry about that when tv production properly resumes.
