Well, I’m pretty solid on the fact that Justified: City Primeval (Hulu) is not as fun as the original show, and I am trying to catch up on that thing while it doesn’t even have audio description. They’re not really playing up the fish out of water effect Raylon should be having, and leaning into it more. That’s one of the things that makes shows like Tulsa King interesting, and this is missing the mark. Love that this show finally has audio description at least for the revival limited series.

Scott Pilgrim Takes off (Netflix) is still proving there’s a way to tell this story in a new light. I like it, but I do wish the audio description was brighter? There’s heavy anime undertones throughout the show, and the narration perhaps doesn’t need to be so dramatic. I guess I’m asking for that narration we sometimes get in kids or family films. It would be less contrasting, thematically.

God, I’m gonna be sad when Billions (Paramount Plus/Showtime) is gone. In The Owl, these characters are constantly in a Shakespearian style battle of power, and seeing Prince essentially willing ton hurt Andy like that to get to the White House, that can’t bode well. David Constable was also excellent in this episode. Long live Wags.

And then I did manage to finish Young Love (MAX), where Kid Cudi and Issa Rae teach us it’s cool to not be married. Oddly enough, I think there are a lot of kids from homes that need to hear that. I’ve wondered who this show is for, adults or kids, and really, everyone should sit down and watch.

Let’s talk Percy Jackson (Disney plus), which not only gave the least interesting description of a Fury, but also Medusa. Her hair slithers? Like dreadlocks? Snakes? What the hell does one of the most iconic mythological characters look like? Also, when you underdescribe the show, then there can be no representation. I suppose I could imagine this cast is a revolutionary all black cast, but if we’re being honest, that’s not where our minds go is it? We wouldn’t have diversity, equity, and inclusivity programs if the first thought that came to mind wasn’t “this character is played by a white actor”, unless there’s an almost offensively over the top accent given to them. This show has been under describing iconic characters from this book series all season long. Why?

And that’s it from me today.
