Are you enjoying the Olympics? Are you watching the Olympics? I am doing some dabbling as planned. And still managing to get some other watching in. I wrapped LA’s Finest (Net) which I thought was fun. And Girls5eva (Peacock) which was cute.
As the Olympics run out we’ll likely start to see some things returning again. Until then I’ve also got some decent summer fare with reality Making It (NBC) and Making the Cut (Prime). I’m also doing the dramatic with the final season of Animal Kingdom (TNT), Motherland: Fort Salem (Free), Professor T (PBS), and recording but not yet watching David Makes Man (OWN). And of course a little comedy with the return of a new spin on Miracle Workers (TBS), odd but enjoyable Dave (FXX), and the final season of Younger (TVL). And looking forward to the return of Brooklyn Nine-Nine (NBC) for its final season
