Slowly moving into 2024, I’m getting closer and closer to finishing some series. One of those I’m close on is Fellow Travelers (Paramount Plus with Showtime), the excellent drama starring Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey as two men inexplicably forever linked through the passage of time. The latest episode I watched dealt with the murder of Harvey Milk, and that someone tried to blame their mental state on Twinkies. The jury actually had to deliberate for more than 5 minutes on that one, which highlights the absurdity of the period. But, Bomer was excellent as it turned out he was grieving from a personal loss, and his wife seems perpetually annoyed by him, so Tim went out to check on Hawk. Meanwhile, the Frankie and Marcus storyline is developing nicely.

I’m nowhere near finishing My Life With The Walter Boys (Netflix), which seemed ton know who everyone was in the second episode. I get it, the cast is insane. The main family has enough cast, and then you have school friends, and it’s a broad ensemble. Oddly enough, I’m actually digging this a bit more than I did the overly soapy The Summer I Turned Pretty or Ginny And Georgia. Something here is a lot more palatable.

Monarch (Apple Plus) is still the show we don’t deserve. Jedidiah Barton on narration for a TV series is so rare, I think the last time I heard him was ozark? that can’t be right. But for all the people who complain that these Godzilla movies have forgettable characters, it’s like Legendary went out of their way to do a whole thing about character development. Episode 5 got better, as we saw the wake of destruction left behind by the most recent Godzilla remake. The audio description here is pretty solid, and there were only a couple of moments I wanted a bit more. There was mention of a video of what I presume was a fight from the film, that was too brief, but also… squatters in the red zone. We got a brief mention of them, but considering the Army is searching for people constantly, I kind of wanted to know how these people are hiding, what do they look like, did they have a camp? It’s so brief.

Invincible (Amazon) this whole cloning thing is getting out of hand. Are we really going to clone Mark? No, right? And poor *spoiler*. Robot will not be happy. There was a big fight, and it was well described.

The Guilded Age (MAX) is deeply losing me, though my constant thought is Christine Baranski was born for this. She’s living in the wrong period. She’s way better than the fluffy material everyone seems to be getting, and some of this dialogue isn’t great. She makes everything she says and does great.
