These week’s catchups included finishing Fallout on Amazon, which didn’t quite match the first season’s fun. I also caught the first and unfortunately only season of Etoile, a bummer that didn’t get more eyeballs after the success of Maisel, this international ballet chaos was fun. I also finally caught up with Heated Rivalry on HBO which took a minute to hook me (the time jumps in the first couple of episodes felt stilted but it became emotionally compelling after a bit).
For movies I did Blue Moon on Net which felt a little stagey and unfun. I thought Rental Family on Hulu ended up being really sweet. Urchin was also a bummer and while probably well done not my fave watch.

- Scarpetta (Am) Series Premiere, Wednesday 3/11 – I used to read all of these books and while I don’t know that I love Nicole Kidman in this I’ll definitely be checking it out, the main character is a medical examiner who of course gets overly involved in the crimes.
- The Madison (Para+) Series Premiere, Saturday 3/14 – Another Taylor Sheridan, this one with Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell covering a family from Montana to New York.
