What? We’re heading into January, how did that happen? So the end of the year as expected not a lot of new stuff happening. Though lots of holiday specials as filler. I did catch the latest season of Pen15 on Hulu which is one of those comedies that’s so awkward it’s almost too painful to watch and yet… I also wrapped up the one and only season of Teenage Bounty Hunters on Netflix which was a real delight and a bummer it didn’t catch on, though honestly I don’t think they did really any promotion of it. Year end lists are coming fast and furious so still lots of catch up to do before I get to mine, currently working on Ted Lasso before my free Apple+ subscription expires.
