I finished the middling second season of Cross and the not good first season of Scarpetta both on Amazon Prime, Prime is certainly claiming this tv based on book series. I also did a rewatch of Buffy to somewhat coincide with the release of New Sunnydale only to be surprised that the pilot didn’t get picked up.
Movie-wise I felt compelled to catch the second Wicked, For Good, which really should have just been a single movie. Is This Thing On brought a tough look at longstanding marriage with good performances but was short on laughs. I enjoyed Ballerina the latest John Wick-ish flick enough, mostly because I’m invested in the universe and mostly forgive the unbelievable relentless pace. I quite enjoyed Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice which was also brutal but had some charm and clever turns.
- The Testaments (Hulu) Series Premiere, Wednesday 4/8 – Based on Margaret Atwood’s book this is an evolution of The Handmaid’s Tale which I haven’t watched, supposed to be good but I just can’t with the world.
- The Boys (Am) Season Premiere, Wednesday 4/8 – The fifth and final season of this uneven and yet compelling series, I was mostly reinvested after enjoying Gen V and I don’t think we’re done with spinoffs.
- Big Mistakes (Net) Series Premiere, Thursday 4/9 – This is Dan Levy’s latest comedy so that alone make it worth a watch and we follow him as one of two siblings blackmailed into organized crime.
- Miniature Wife (Pea) Series Premiere, Thursday 4/9 – I just dropped Peacock but this dramedy could be fun as Elizabeth Banks accidently gets shrunken down.
- Hacks (HBO) Season Premiere, Thursday 4/9, 9pm – The fifth and final season of this show that consistently makes my top ten, how will the ladies send it off.
- Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair (Hulu) Series Premiere, Friday 4/10 – This new chapter of this show brings us back for the parent’s 40th anniversary, this story was never my absolute fave but the cast is always top notch so curious to see where they pick up.
- The Audacity (AMC) Series Premiere, Sunday 4/12, 9pm – I don’t get AMC anymore but this series has some good pedigree as it takes a comedic drama look at the power players of Silicon Valley.
- Euphoria (HBO) Season Premiere, Sunday 4/12, 9pm – It’s been a minute but these high schoolers turned young adults are back.
- Margot’s Got Money Trouble (App+) Series Premiere, Wednesday 4/15 – I didn’t read this book but again a great pedigree and Dakota Fanning as Margot has promise.
- Beef (Net) Season Premiere, Thursday 4/16 – I didn’t love the stress of the first season of this so not sure I’ll prioritize the latest chapter of this anthology.
