Discovery Plus launches on Monday with a bunch of new reality fare for $4.99 ads/6.99 ad free, if you know you need more of that. I wrapped up Queen’s Gambit which was very enjoyable and the season of Ted Lasso which was also quite fun, though not Apple Plus paid subscription for me kind of fun. I am excited for the return of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist this Tuesday on NBC.
