I could use my little Tv news starter to talk about unemployed talking heads, but Netflix swooped in and announced that this upcoming 8th season of Big Mouth will be its last.

10) Shadow and Bone (Netflix)

English Audio Description?: Yes

in episode 5 of the second season, Elena is still reeling from her realization that Ben Barnes is still alive. She’s also worried about Mal. And her future husband is trying to be a good leader. My biggest problem is that the other half of the show, the Caz experience, has never felt like the same show. And I struggle to care.

Bro. Why was that gun in your safe? I’ve seen how close to the ocean you are. Or, at least anywhere not in your fucking office. I thought Mason was supposed to be the smart one.

8) Friends (HBo MAX)

7) American Idol (ABC/Hulu)

English Audio Description?: Yes

I sat through that three hour episode with 20 singers, and I lost some talent. What America seems to want versus what they should want are two different things. Next up, the Idol Red Wedding, as 20 become 12. Slow this shit down. stop eliminating so many people so fast. There are singers in the top 20 I still struggle to remember.
