I’ve continued some catchup. Wrapping Ridley Road on Masterpiece, eh. The Belgian Professor T, good quirky criming (for which I had to do a trial subscription of Masterpiece to binge the second season). Wrapped up Atlanta which I enjoyed but kind of missed our core crew with so many standalone anthology eps. Watched El Camino to finally close the chapter on Breaking Bad before turning to Better Call Saul. And the first part of Stranger Things season 4 (excited for those final two eps hitting). I also sampled Dark Winds on AMC and the first two eps of The Old Man both of which were intriguing.
I’m also tempted to rewatch the first season of Only Murders in the Building to prep for the return. I’m also excited for the return of other summer fares including Motherland: Fort Salem for what I believe is the final season and Umbrella Academy which I am mostly over by the end of the season but seem to keep tuning back in. And the final eps of Stranger Things season 4. I did also start a rewatch of The OC so trying to pace myself, I haven’t watched it since it was on originally, in a time when if you didn’t record an episode it was lost and I think I missed a couple, California here we come.
