Well we’re heading into the holiday season so things usually start to calm down. We’re in a new era so of course slowing down doesn’t mean drying up. And of course there are the random items to grab like National Dog Show on Thanksgiving/Thanksgiving Day Parade, the airing of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life on CW, and various holiday specials. I also made some backlog progress with the very fun Trinkets and the mildly entertaining and informative Get Organized with The Home Edit on Netflix, as well as backlog item Mr Robot which I barely understood but really appreciated the performances.
