I blew through A Man on the Inside (Net) mostly due to my back being tweaked but it was sweet and engaging. I also wrapped up Cross (Amazon) which I thought was ok, most of the cast was good but I couldn’t quite get into the season’s big bad or the dual storylines. Cruel Intentions (Amazon) was kind of a waste of a remake, it was too similar (with some noted updates) but didn’t recapture or bring anything fresh, though it was totally watchable if that’s up your alley. A few more things before we drop off for the holidays.
- Black Doves (Net) Series Premiere, Thursday 12/5 – Spies, assassins, and vengeance, Keria Knightly helms this British Political Drama
- White Lies (SundN) Series Premiere, Thursday 12/5 – An investigative journalist digs under the pretty veneer of Cape Town, South Africa.

- Somebody Somewhere (HBO) Series Finale, Sunday 12/8, 10:30 pm – This show is such a sweet and funny charmer, it’s been on my best lists and I’m sad to see it go.
- Ink Master (Para+) Season Finale, Wednesday 12/11 – I don’t know how I missed that a new season of this had started?! but they’re getting ready to wrap it up. I guess it’s time for me to get P+ and play a little catch-up on this and Evil which I’ve been meaning to do the last season, too bad Yellowjackets isn’t out until Feb.
- Queer Eye (Net) Season Premiere, Wednesday 12/11 – They’re back and Jeremiah Brent takes over for Bobby Berk as the person who does a shit ton of actual work in addition to emotional work.
- No Good Deed (Net) Series Premiere, Thursday 12/12 – Three different families in a race to buy a 1920s Spanish-style home, with a good cast including Ray Romano, Lisa Kudrow, and Linda Cardellini from the maker of Dead to Me.
- Paris & Nicole: The Encore (Pea) Series Premiere, Thursday 12/12 – I have to say I found the original Simple Life quite funny and sweet so hoping these elder statesmen of reality can recapture some of that fun.
- The Bookie (Max) Season Premiere, Thursday 12/12 – I wasn’t totally enthralled with the first season of this but I stuck with it, for whatever that’s worth.
- Dexter: Orginal Sin (Para+) Series Premiere, Friday 12/13 – I did enjoy the beginnings of the original Dexter, I missed the return of that show but I might tune in to the prequel since I’m going to be revisiting Paramount+.
