I caught the good Minx on my temporary Showtime subscription, pity it was canceled. I have also been rewatching the old Party Down before getting to the current season. I didn’t realize Shining Vale was being pulled after it was canceled but the first couple of episodes were much better than I had initially anticipated. On Netflix, I wrapped up The Diplomat which I thought was great, super compelling characters and situations, and Lockwood & Co which I wanted to like but just couldn’t get into. I also somehow started watching Bookie on Max which was entertaining enough but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
