After finally wrapping the fun Get Shorty I did a quick spin through Reacher and the new season of Upload which were also pretty enjoyable. This week in addition to maybe Life & Beth, will tune back in to the second season of Mr. Mayor which had potential. And will tune back in for another frothy romp with Bridgerton and long awaited return of Atlanta.
