Moving through my Peacock subscription (acquired temporarily for Holdovers and Oppenheimer) I finished Mrs. Davis which was very odd and I appreciate the big swing. I also caught the first of Elsbeth (CBS) and will stay tuned there, one doesn’t need to have watched the previous shows but you’ll appreciate things like a Cary Agos namedrop. I’m also trying to grab a few more flicks before I finally do my best pic list.
