new and noteworthy tv: 4/12-4/25

Cruel Summer

I caught up on much-recommended Derry Girls on Netflix which was cute. And though Younger returns this week on Paramount+ I’m going to hold out until it’s found elsewhere (should come back to TV Land later this year) and will tune in for the special ep from Mythic Quest though may hold out until the second season is here. And apparently, the series finale for Queen Sugar is coming down but I have the whole season so far saved, busy busy..
