I guess we’re wrapping up the year. You probably won’t see my best of 2021 lists coming out for a little while. Too much catching up to do. TV gets a little quiet this time of year so that might help.
I wrapped Dear White People and while I overall enjoyed the series, I just didn’t love the future/musical show of the final season. I also tried out some of the comedy previews Abbott Elementary, American Auto, and Grand Crew and they all had some good ingredients so I’ll check back in the new year when they’re really out. I’ll also likely be tuning into the return of fluffy Emily in Paris and Queer Eye.
