Network stuff is starting to wind down so I’m looking at a little more time to stream. I buzzed through the fun Russian Doll, while I didn’t think the second season worked quite as well for me it was grander in scope and I can’t not enjoy Natasha Lyonne. I’m working on Ozark. And I might get back to doing my apartment bike which I save a handful of half-hour sitcoms for. I might dabble with Lincoln Lawyer when it comes out, seems like a nice pairing with Bosch: Legacy which I’m looking forward to diving into.
