Last week thought the starts of What We Do In The Shadows, Abby’s, and Tacoma FD were all a little uneven but enough promise to give them each another shot. Sorry to see You’re the Worst wrap up its run on Wednesday, it’s always been a little uneven but the great moments are great and they’re doing a nice job of wrapping things up. Excited for the return of Killing Eve on Sunday, and on streaming The Tick and even though I am always less than enthusiastic about Sabrina I find myself looking forward to its return.

I tried The Fix which was a little too generic of an OJ trial spinoff, and The Village which tried to set up every predictable layer of drama, and The Perfectionists which as a non PLL fan I guess makes sense that I wasn’t quite sucked in. I did enjoy streaming picks Shrill and Sex Education and a little less digging on The Umbrella Academy.

Chipping away at a few shows and not really introducing any new shows until I do. Though did start a bit of a binge of the latest season of Queer Eye which I find to be a little too high on the schmaltz and a little light on the makeover details but it’s entertaining enough.

• The Fix (ABC) Series Premiere, Monday, 10pm – This latest legal drama from Marcia Clark has likable Robin Tunney in the lead but doesn’t look more than middling.
• The Village (NBC) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 10pm – The latest heartfelt offering of a bunch of people in a Brooklyn apartment that reportedly might not rise to This Is Us quality, and that’s a show I’m already over.

I finally finished Homecoming and the fact that I didn’t speed through a half hour show is usually not a great sign. I also wrapped up Big Mouth which had some cute elements in the comical animated look at middle school.

Giving a little sample to some more of the new series Whiskey Cavalier was exactly a fluffy as expected and could be good filler I’ll check out one more of that as well as another of Flack to see how the future messes are managed.
