I’ve been chipping away at a few shows and caught Cruel Summer, which was a little disjointed with the multiple timelines but I’ll check again. And the combo of The Parker Andersons and Amelia Parker which was sweet but not something I need right now. I’ve been sticking with L&O: OC, Rebel, Home Economics, The Equalizer, Clarice, and Kung Fu to see where things lead and barely hanging in with Debris, which is an interesting premise but I can’t seem to care. Sometimes I do just want to watch tv rather than yet another streaming show for some reason. Dropped Chad as I can’t take another cringeworthy coming of age comedy. Looking ahead I’ll go back in with Mythic Quest while I still have Apple TV. I’ve never started Handmaid’s Tale, I feel like I heard great things about the first season and then never heard about it again.

I wrapped up the final season of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, a series I always wanted to like more than I did, but clearly stuck with. 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. CBS All Access is rebranding as Paramount+ (because all streaming versions are apparently using the +) so you’ll start to see that, and I’ll have to consider how to manage still not subscribing when they bring back favorite Ink Master (I have purchased seasons of The Good Fight after they hooked me with the free first season).
