Finished up Party Down before I canceled my Starz subscription, and I thought they did a good job picking up years later with the characters. I also rewatched the earlier seasons which held up pretty well. I managed to get a look at Wild Cards on CW, which is cute enough since I always like a heist/con show. And Ride on CW which is apparently a previously cancelled Hallmark show, not surprised.
I had intended to do my 2023 book list last week but what are you gonna do? I was also disappointed to find that I can no longer find Metacritic’s great consolidated tv critics’ best of lists. I can only assume they’re not doing that anymore, bummer. Will poke around but not sure I can find something comparable (let me know if you’ve got the magic list).
- The Claremont Murders (Acorn) Series Premiere, Monday 1/29 – A 2-part Australian crime drama based on real-life missing women.
- Feud: Capote vs The Swans (Fx/Hulu) Season Premiere, Wednesday 1/31, 10pm – This Ryan Murphy anthology series picks up with Truman Capote and the society women he befriended and then betrayed by writing about their secrets, a start-studded cast,
- Mr and Mrs. Smith (Am) Series Premiere, Friday 2/2 – Based loosely on the movie, in this Donald Glover and Maya Erksine’s characters are matched up as spouses via a spy agency as they go on capers, intrigued.
- Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO) Season Premiere, Sunday 2/4, 10pm – The 12th and I understand final season returns with I’m sure more cringe.
- The Conners/Not Dead Yet/Abbott Elementary (ABC) Season Premieres, Wednesday 2/7, 8/8:30/9pm – This amusing lineup is back.
- One Day (Net) Series Premiere, Thursday 2/8 – Based on a David Nicholls’ novel two peeps spend grad night together and although they go their separate ways they remain connected.
- Tracker (CBS) Series Premiere, Sunday 2/11 – The coveted Superbowl spot goes to this Justin Hartley show where the lone wolf/survivalist helps solve crimes, I don’t know what time this will actually air.
