Well, that was a lot faster the next time around. Amazon has picked up Good Omens for a third season, so hopefully the wait between Season 2 and 3 will be much less.
8) Krapopolis (Hulu)
English Audio Description?: No
Status: Unknown
I still wish this show had audio description, but this silly plot about dead goats was funny enough. I didn’t realize until this episode that Matt Barry was voicing a monster, because all i hear is Lazlo.
Episode Grade: B
7) Heartstopper (Netflix)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Renewed?
Some of the side characters had some plots, like one has an extremely over controlling Mom, and Isaac seems almost inconvenienced by people having crushes because he doesn’t? Ben tries to apologize, but Charlie tells him No. And then, despite a strong part of the episode with a dinner featuring Charlie and Nick’s families, we end the episode on Charlie might have an eating disorder. I guess we have to cover all our bases? Did anyone get Bingo yet?
Episode Grade: B
6) 911 (Hulu)
English Audio Description?: No
Status: Moving To ABC
This episode covered a lot of ground. Athena’s daughter is now a 911 operator. Buck is in therapy. Hen has a new partner in medical school with a chip on her shoulder. But it was also when robots attack, and set us up with a Lone Star crossover.
Episode Grade: B+
5) Chucky (Peacock)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Season 3 still airing
I’m catching up in Season 2. This episode had two deaths, one minor, one of medium level. But also, a giant fucking Chucky? Like, I’m going to need a much better description of how tall this thing is. He’s unnecessarily ripped, and might be human size. but it wasn’t clear how tall he was. Is he bigger than a human? Size. Relativity. If I teach the audio description nothing else, it will be to consider size relativity.
Episode Grade: B+
4) Friends (MAX)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Ended
I think what truly put this episode over the top was Phoebe’s reaction to everything having to do with this dollhouse that Monica inherited. Sure, Chandler’s thing was funny, as was Joey’s, but Phoebe was fully invested in her subplot. Kudos to Kudrow.
Episode Grade: A-
3) Last Week Tonight (MAX)
English Audio Description?: No
Status: Renewed?
John Oliver goes after a consulting firm you’ve likely never heard of, but seems nefarious as shit. It’s like finding out that the Da Vinci Code really was telling the truth about the Masons, or something.
Episode Grade: A-
2) Billions (Paramount Plus)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Final Season
After being removed from office, Chuck’s friends (yes, he has friends) take him out for a fun day. During this day, Chuck figures out how to go after Prince,while Kate mulls a political campaign, and Maggie Siff still asks herself why she’s still on the show. Meanwhile, Asia Kate Dillon as Taylor still makes me want to see that character in a spinoff.
Episode Grade: A
1) Gen V (Amazon)
English Audio Description?: Yes
Status: Renewed
The main 5 wake up with no memory of the last few days, which concerns Sam, who knows who is responsible, and by the end of the episode, we do too.One of these things is not like the other.
Episode Grade: A
