I caught the first episode of Queens, which was very much a dramatic Girls5eva, but has potential. Also finished season one of Squid Games, brutal but quite good storytelling as well as season two of Never Have I Ever which is always a little endearing. Ic cranked through the second half of Leverage: Redemption which I find fun and the first half of Grace & Frankie which felt a little short (stupid pandemic).
I’m still managing to make my way through Breaking Bad with a chaser of Sex Education as well as Get Shorty which needs a chaser. I’ll get around to the new season of Big Mouth when I catch up on my exercise half-hour comedies and see what 4400 has to offer. Wondering if the second season of Love Life which was cute will also get around to repairing somewhere other than HBOMax. And The Harder They Fall will likely hit Saturday night movie for me.
