OMG how is it September? I wrapped up a few shows including the second season of Dave (Fx/Hulu) which kept up with a weird take on the fictionalized version of the man behind Lil Dickey. The Fall (Amazon Prime), utterly brutal but very well done, I do love Gillian Anderson. Bosch (Amazon Prime) which I’ll consider a break until they reboot with a spinoff as he moves to a new series. As well as catching up on Younger (Pea/TVL/Hulu), overall a very fun series, though this last season wasn’t its finest. And a rewatch of Girlfriends (Net) for plenty of seasons of fun drama for those ‘heifers’.

I’m not quite ready for fall tv yet but here’s what’s coming over the next couple of weeks. I’m excited for Only Murders and might dabble with some reality, I am in a bit of a decluttering phase so Sparking Joy might be the right vibe. There are also some returns I follow like What We Do In The Shadows (Fx, 9/2), Queen Sugar (Own, 9/7), and American Crime Story (Fx, 9/7), this season is the Clinton Impeachment.
