I muddled my way through Joan on the CW, for a jewelry heist show this was kind of a slog (for some reason I can’t quit a 6 part series it seems so short). I also finished the not-amazing The Penguin on Max, the highlight of this was Cristin Milioti, it was designed to be a series to bridge from the last Batman to the next so I won’t necessarily expect anymore here. I cranked through the too-quick 6-episode second season of The Diplomat, it may be ridiculous but it has me on the edge of my seat. I also finished up Wrestlers which I started last year and this docu take on small circuit wrestlers was sweet and intriguing but didn’t totally hold my interest.
A few new things on the horizon plus of course the Thanksgiving Day parade and the Dog Show and probably some football. And then I guess it’s officially the Christmas season.
- Maternal (Acorn) Series Premiere, Monday 11/18 – I don’t know that I need to revisit post-pandemic but this is set as three doctors return from maternity leave.
- Interior Chinatown (Hulu) Series Premiere, Tuesday 11/19 – I read this very oddly formatted book and am curious how they’ll approach it as a series focusing a background extra on a show set in Chinatown.
- Night Court (NBC) Season Premiere, Tuesday 11/19, 8:30pm – This show was amusing enough with the daughter of the original Judge Stone taking control of the court.
- Cruel Intentions (Am) Series Premiere, Thursday 11/21 – I dug the original version of this campy fun flick and am cautiously optimistic the series might be a treat.
