More wrapups happening as we roll into summer. HBO series wrapping up. Series finale of Barry, while I loved the series, the final season was a little tough tonally for me, not that it wasn’t the right call but missing more of the levity. And Somebody Somewhere, I love these characters and am so excited it will return for another season. Also Equalizer, Dave, and Queer Eye. I also started Happy Valley which is still top-notch, and the questionable Barons and The Rising which might get one more look to see what they’re planning to do weekly.
