new and noteworthy tv: 12/30-1/12

After a variety of New Year’s Eve televised programs, we start to re-kick off some shows. I’ve been looking to play a little catch-up on streaming. Polished off InkMaster and Frasier on Paramount+, both are entertaining enough. Then What We Do in the Shadows (Fx/Hulu) in its final season, that show was always good for some amusing moments. I tuned in to the latest season of The Accused (Fox/Hulu) which has great leads but the anthology of crimes leaves me wanting more.
