I did binge through Running Point (Net) which was cute but a little ridiculous and not revolutionary. I tried Suits LA (NBC) but had to pass, the characters were kind of smarmy and blah at the same time. I’ll give another watch to Grosse Point Garden Society (NBC) which is at least a little campy as we follow past and present timelines to ponder a murder. I also caught Paris & Nicole: The Encore (Pea) which was almost too painful to finish, the ridiculousness of earlier years had some charm but now the manufactured events don’t work.
Upcoming looks like a lot of drama. I just need a little more light fare though I am turning back to Squid Games (Net) which I figured I’d finish the season of even though this second series hasn’t grabbed me. I have also confused myself with adding subscriptions to Peacock and Paramount+ since I normally only do one at a time but between end-of-year movies and return series, I got overwhelmed. I still haven’t done my best pic list…
