I saw the upcoming list of shows starting next week, and Virgin River is likely the one most worth mentioning. Though, I am really happy that I Am Groot got a second season.

14) The Lincoln Lawyer (Netflix)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Renewed

Good news for fans, the show got renewed. I actually enjoyed everything I saw yesterday, and this is on the bottom really for two reasons. The first being that this series is still not describing the Spanish dialogue. I’m working on my DuoLingo, and I’m not adept at this, other than picking up a few words here and there. by not translating, it sends a message that what these characters have to say isn’t important. I watch this with a sighted person, and they confirmed there were subtitles. The second was when the prosecutor leaned the dummy back. All the defense needed to do was create reasonable doubt, and changing the tilting of his head or angle would have changed the way he was struck, something no one pointed out.

Episode Grade: B+

13) The Golden Girls (Hulu)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Ended

Blanche is holding her granddaughter and a cute guy thinks she’s still young enough to procreate.

Episode Grade: B+

12) Foundation (Apple Plus)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Not Yet Renewed

Created just to confuse us, this episode was very creative and inventive, but like most episodes, I had no idea what was happening, just that it was blowing my mind. I always thought I was a pretty smart person with a decent IQ. Then I met Foundation. No show has challenged me more.

Episode Grade: B+

11) Doug (Paramount Plus)

English Audio Description?: No

Status: Ended

Doug’s second outing as Quailman, and Patty is denied a spot on the baseball team for being a girl, so she gets her friends together to make a team that is almost good enough.

Episode Grade: B+

10) Boy Meets World (Disney Plus)

English Audio Description?: No

Status: Ended

Mr Turner makes a deal with the class that if they can prove they learned the material they don’t need a test. George forces them to take a test. Cory protests. Everyone here has a point.

Episode Grade: B+

9) All In The Family (FreeVee)

English Audio Description?: No

Status: Ended

Archie locks himself in the basement. He starts writing a will, convinced no one will ever find him. Hilarity continues to ensue.

Episode Grade: B+

8) Painkiller (Netflix)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Limited

I’ve been lukewarm on this “not DopeSick” version, but Uzo Aduba’s got a scene in this episode that is as powerful as anything in DopeSick. She went all in, and I love her for that.

Episode Grade: B+

7) Veep (MAX)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Ended

Tony Hale really is the unsung hero of this show. How he just disappears into the shadow, and reappears is always hilarious.

Episode Grade: B+

6) Minx (Starz)

English Audio Description?: No

Status: Not Yet Renewed

man I wish this show had audio description. Bambi had a line in this episode, about not sleeping with family, that… I was deadLegally dead for a half second. Great writing. Please add audio description. I would have loved to know what outfits Joyce was trying on, as an example.

Episode Grade: B+

5) Home Improvement (Hulu)

English Audio Description?: No

Status: Ended

A cute episode if Al was just a better actor. Heidi is having marital problems, and Al is empathetic enough to help her. But Tim thinks Al and Heidi are sleeping together, which he thinks is impossible, because how could a guy like Al get a girl like heidi? Of course, Al is offended, and also becoming a little attracted to heidi, but there are some really funny moments here. The best is when Tim goes to Wilson for some more advice and Wilson snaps back at him to get a hobby. Hah.

Episode Grade: B+

4) Yellowjackets (Paramount Plus)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Renewed

I suppose I should have assumed cannibalism was in the near future, but it’s gonna be something that ruins the show for me. This episode is titled “Friends, Romans, Countrymen” for a reason. Just a really gross one. But, the mystery here is still keeping me engaged, and the cannibalism wasn’t too heavy. We shall see.

Episode Grade: B+

3) Game of Thrones (MAX)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Ended

After grading 11 series the exact same, we move up. Tyrion and Jamie’s conversations were great, and Marjorie smartly introduces herself to Tommen. But Cersei has now become the most unlikable creature on the show, now that Joffrey is gone.

Episode Grade: A-

2) Survival of The Thickest (Netflix)

English Audio Description?: Yes

Status: Not Yet Renewed

Loving this show. mom shows up to find her daughter with her new Italian boyfriend, and drags her to church. The episode dives deep into feelings from a black perspective about racism, as the characters experience a Karen that ruins their day, and gets them thinking while they smoke some weed. It was a funny and smart episode, and i think this sitcom has a future if Netflix allows it.

Episode Grade: A-

1) Breeders (Hulu)

English Audio description?: Yes

Status: Final Season

Picks up right where it left off, with Luke dropping the bomb about the baby, and everyone tries to be supportive, worried that they’ll just push Luke away again. Again, Breeders is and always has been the best show you aren’t watching.

Episode Grade: A
