I’ve been chipping away at a few shows and caught Cruel Summer, which was a little disjointed with the multiple timelines but I’ll check again. And the combo of The Parker Andersons and Amelia Parker which was sweet but not something I need right now. I’ve been sticking with L&O: OC, Rebel, Home Economics, The Equalizer, Clarice, and Kung Fu to see where things lead and barely hanging in with Debris, which is an interesting premise but I can’t seem to care. Sometimes I do just want to watch tv rather than yet another streaming show for some reason. Dropped Chad as I can’t take another cringeworthy coming of age comedy. Looking ahead I’ll go back in with Mythic Quest while I still have Apple TV. I’ve never started Handmaid’s Tale, I feel like I heard great things about the first season and then never heard about it again.
