So what did you watch for Valentine’s Day? I tried yet again to get into Feud (Hulu), which has an exceptional cast. You know I would love to say this is great because this cast is flawless, but I haven’t a real clue why this is a thing. I hope Treat Williams gets a posthumous Emmy nomination though.Also, it is in Black and White? Come on Audio Description. Let me know these things.

Griselda (Netflix) features Sofia Vergara (who I adore) in a series I don’t adore. However, she is good in this show I don’t like, which is why I’ve knocked out three episodes. Will I keep going just for her?

Ex-Pats (Amazon) is also a mixed bag. After finally showing the event in Episode 2, this was all about the fallout. David wins this episode, by having a breakdown over the fact that his wife hesitated in thinking about the possibility of him as the kidnapper. That was a terrific scene. Also, Nicole Kidman was given a solid monologue about being a mother and someone else not being able to understand. I’m not 100% sold on this show either. Three shows I’m just so-so with.

Luckily, I did watch Criminal Record (Apple Plus) which left on a cliffhanger like we might finally get some truth, and I think I know the truth, and I think I know why Errol confessed and wishes people would leave it alone. I think I’ve been right for a while. This show is exceptional though, and one of the best obsessions I have. I highly recommend this.

Finally, the second episode of Halo (Paramount Plus) tried to finally flesh out the rest of the Spartans, as well as John, and some others. Even our new leader, who is clearly a bad guy, gets an interesting moment or two. This show badly needed ensemble development to move forward, and I love that they are headed to Reach.
