I finished catching up on the series finale of Motherland: Fort Salem, and while it had its moments it was a little too uneven for a solid recco. I’m getting started on some new streaming, both Better Call Saul and Lucifer. I’ve been looking for a new light show after I finished The OC, my polling turned me toward Jane the Virgin, but while light and pretty well done, a little too overtly soapy for me.
I did end up throwing down for Paramount+ and started the new season of Ink Master. The format is pretty much the same with new hosts, judges, and guest appearances by Dave Navarro, with returning competitors and tattoos still at the center I’m in. I am also starting to catch up on Evil and The Good Fight.
We’re getting into fall, check out my last post to see what I’m looking forward to returning. And for this phase, I’ll check out the new Quantum Leap. I will also preview more new fall tv next week.
