I’ve seen some stuff on the internet where I guess the woman who feels that Baby Reindeer (Netflix) is about her is calling herself a victim. That’s an interesting take. One thing is for sure, the producers of the show do not consider Martha to be a victim. Episode 3 got a little more nuts as she continued to get a little more over the top, and we’re still in the first half of this series. Like, she’s physically attacking people, and spending hours upon hours outside his flat. I’m scared of where this goes. The audio description is terrific though. Again, this show has a lot of texting and stuff, as well as this giant physical altercation at the end.

The Dynasty (Apple Plus) is somehow still not over. This episode focused on the team around the 2016/2017 season, and politics are definitely the message here. The team was rattled by bill’s endorsement of Trump, since the mantra at the Patriots was always that they weren’t supposed to get involved in stuff like that, and then bill broke his own rule. He’s very unapologetic about it in the current interviews for the documentary. It’s highly suggested that bill was the reason for their loss that season, as he benched one of their strongest players for the entire Super Bowl, and no one ever found out why. I have a feeling it probably had to do with taking a knee at some point, as that is also mentioned here, and how Trump’s reaction made these players feel. Another thing they mention is Brady’s workout regimen, and the trainer who helps him, and how that trainer started helping other players like Gronk, until Bill put a stop to it. Gronk says he was starting to feel great, and then Bill prohibited anyone other than Tom from working with his trainer. This is a good series, and I don’t even follow football. The audio description is really good for a docuseries also.

I finished part one of Ark: The Animated Series (Paramount Plus), which immediately teases part two. There’s a big character death at the end, but more to come. I was hard on the narrator initially, because her youth sounded inexperienced. After six episodes, that went away. While I think there might be better projects for her, I also see the benefit in hiring a youthful narrator to do a video game adaptation. People have to get their start somewhere, and after six episodes, I think this is a promising talent, and the written narration is strong.

Under The Bridge (Hulu) gets right down to it. We see a little bit of the past, and Reina and her interaction with her family. It’s so weird to see her mom taking away a razor and preventing her daughter from saving her legs. But, the chilling moment is basically when Jo goes through the story piece by piece and admits to pushing Reina off the bridge. Did this sociopath really do it, or is there more to this story? I’m guessing the latter, since this was the second episode.

The Veil (Hulu) is not a great pilot. It doesn’t mean the series is bad, it just means you won’t get a lot from the pilot about what the show is about. Honestly, I have no idea. I cannot tell you what the plot here is. I do feel like there was character development, and there’s clearly something here, but this is a slow burn. Don’t expect everything up front. The audio description is probably fine. British, for some reason, but fine.

Tiny Toons Looniversity (MAX) is a cute series that throws back for me to my childhood. Marvin The MArtian pops up in the third episode. While not “kids TV’ in the sense of being aimed at the under 6 crowd, it’s a cute show with pretty solid audio description, considering these toons are always doing wacky things.

Palm Royale (Apple Plus) works best when they let Carol Burnett take over. I love the whole cast, but one of them has an award named for them for a reason. Looks like people might be figuring some stuff out about Josh Lucas’s character.

And finally, The Equalizer (Paramount Plus) took on conversion therapy. I appreciate the gesture, though some of the dialogue was clunky, as they seemed to be just dropping statistics into conversation like Queen Latifah is a walking Wikipedia page. She’s a badass, but why does she know exactly how many states ban conversion therapy or states that allow it? Like, why? For reasons other than trying to convince your audience, why would her character just happen to know those stats?
