Nautilus- This new AMC original is based on the Jules Verne novel 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, but takes its own approach. It also approaches it without audio description on AMC Plus, which makes this a bit of a tough watch, and a little dull at times. i don’t know how long I’m going to keep watching. From what i gathered, we follow one crew who come into contact with another ship, have to abandon theirs, and adventure ensues. There’s a few lines of dialogue not in English, but it isn’t a prohibitive amount just yet. A few lines in, I’m guessing, Russian?

The Waterfront- It clearly wants to be the next Ozark. I’m liking this show more after each episode. it is actually really violent, surprisingly so. And, cast against type, is topher Grace as a villain. it is such odd casting, I kind of loved it. it reminded me of what worked about his casting in Black Klansman. He’s so unassuming, he does come across as chilling. I’m getting invested in this.

The Bear- I wasn’t sure where the episode was headed. Then, we got a return of a character related to Marcus’s training, and finally at the end, Ayo Edebiri as Sydney has a proverbial piano dropped on her, and she rips your heart out. Excellent work.

Motorheads: they just fixed the car and they want to race it? how do they even know it won’t fall apart? CW shows never made a ton of sense, and this one is leaning that direction as well. Relationships continue to grow, though I think everything will implode in the finale.

The buccaneers- A Christmas episode! james, who still has not been struck by lightning, complicates everything when he demands his new wife give him a secret. Then he immediately tells this secret to the worst possible person, who tries to force Nan to leave. But Theo has something to say about that. This is growing on me, and the audio description is nice.

Patience- Pretty sure this is TTS audio description, but patience isn’t a loud series where audio ducking is really obvious. The second episode gets her roped in more on investigating the crime. It actually is a pretty good show, and i don’t usually watch PBS. They seem to be making a concerted effort in ASD representation.

King of The Hill- Returning in August, I have some work to do. hank catches Bobby smoking and forces him to smoke almost a carton to keep him from smoking, but this bad habit rears its head when hank and Peggy become addicted again.

Silicon Valley- Did he use his girlfriend to test or not? that is the question. A funny show, and despite his problems, TJ Miller is hilarious here.

Kings Of Johburg- In the third episode, the cops start sniffing around. I swear Netflix labeled this as a supernatural crime drama.

Last Week Tonight- John Oliver should have spent the whole episode on his topic, and pushed the renaming of the team, but sadly he couldn’t due to the game he’s promoting, and a filming break.
