And Mrs America which had great performances in a non feels like I’m watching a history lesson version of the movement to pass the ERA.

Before my Apple + subscription expires I also went through the season of Mythic Quest, which started out annoying me (I have worked with enough people like that I wasn’t looking for that frustration in my entertainment) but grew to really enjoy the dynamic and some of the special episodes including the only pandemic entertainment I thought felt appropriate. I also wrapped the latest season of Umbrella Academy which I have to admit I didn’t care that much about though frustratingly left kind of intrigued as to what they’re going to do next season. And finally got through the rest of Fargo, which really wasn’t my fave season.
