Well, Showtime just cancelled a show that premiered over a year ago. I think we all saw that coming. Generally, if you hit that year mark, and you haven’t heard anything… it’s not going to be good news.
11) Futurama (Hulu)
English Audio Description?: No
Status: Revived
A weird day. I enjoyed pretty much everything I watched, but in the great struggle, the show without AD lost the war. Fry drinks an alien leader which is bad news for him. And he and Leela have a falling out. But, it all works out in the end for our Marty mcFly knock off.
Episode Grade: B
10) Rabbit Hole (Paramount Plus)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Not Yet Renewed
I see where this show is now reaching a point where it has blown open such a huge and confusing storyline that can’t possibly resolve by the season finale, so we likely will never fully understand what was down this rabbit hole. The fact that paramount hasn’t picked this up yet, but they already renewed The Family Stallone is not a good sign.
Episode Grade: B
9) All in The Family (FreeVee)
English Audio Description?: No
Status: Ended
Edith bought a lottery ticket for The Jeffersons, which turns out to be a winning one, and Edith knows she needs to give it to them, but this concept is really hard for Archie.
Episode Grade: B+
8) Top Chef (Bravo/Peacock)
English Audio Description?: No
Almost at the finale. With everyone having been on so long, it’s hard to see anyone go. Will your favorite win the whole thing?
episode Grade: B+
7) Boy Meets World (Disney plus)
English Audio Description?: No
Status: Ended
Cory is a benchwarmer on the basketball team, after his Coach doesn’t put him up there with Shawn and his other friends. Which is magnified when Cory feels that middle child syndrome, and that his parents don’t care about him.
Episode Grade: B+
6) The Last Thing He told Me (Apple Plus)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Limited
I hope this series has a worthwhile ending. Watching Jennifer Garner try to get this information out of this Charles guy at the bar was a bit much. If that had been me, I would have been asking myself why a spy wanted to know so much about me of all people. She was way too obvious.
Episode Grade: B+
5) Everwood (FreeVee)
English Audio Description?: No
Status: Ended
Andy celebrates his first anniversary without his wife, and Amy finds out that Colin is awake. Meanwhile, the pastor of Andy’s church has a crisis far bigger than Andy can fix, but Andy can fix Dr. Abbott.
Episode Grade: A-
4) White House Plumbers (HBo MAX)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Limited
Even though this is basically what I already saw in Gaslit, it has its own style and charm. I’m glad I gave this a second episode, since it seems to be headed on its own path. Of all the shows that are just copies of previous limited series, this one is the best so far.
Episode Grade: A-
3) Mad Men (FreeVee)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Ended
I just so want more for Peggy. I want her to start being a boss instead of constantly getting fondled by men. I know it will happen at some point, and that’s part of her character arc, but she’s so helpless right now. Meanwhile, watching Don Draper pitch something is a work of art in itself.
Episode Grade: A-
2) Silo (Apple Plus)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Unknown
Clearly, there’s still a lot to explain even after two episodes. Episode 2 just made the show even more complicated, and introduced even deeper mysteries as the Sheriff goes out to clean, and must be replaced.
Episode Grade: A
1) The Diplomat (Netflix)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Renewed
That Iranian dude was having issues almost when he walked in the room. Just saying. But this was a great episode.
Episode Grade: A
