I’ve been culling through the backlog and ticked through Around the World in 80 Days from PBS which was a fun endeavor, Queer Eye Germany to catch a different Fab 5 do their thing, and Queens which was kind of a mess but still fun enough. I’ve still got some more random things on the dvr but excited for Russian Doll on Netflix. Though I still have Ozark in the queue is that too much or just right as a rock block?
