Will Trent was maybe the only thing hanging on in network that I watch. Also kept up with HBO The Comeback, which I more appreciate than love, and newcomer Rooster which had some charm but still could use some gelling. My HBO backlog finally wrapped up Curb Your Enthusiasm, again more appreciate than love but it did grow on me. And the charming Running Point on Netflix.
Movie-side I did Remarkably Bright Creatures (Net) which was sweet and captured the book well enough and Send Help (Hulu) which I liked elements of but it was maybe not over the top enough for me to not get caught up with the fact that everyone sucks?
