TV News: In the past few days, Apple Plus renewed Stick for a second season, Paramount Plus confirmed it would not be moving forward with a second season of happy Face, Netflix gave an early season 3 renewal to Wednesday, SyFy/USA cancelled resident Alien, AMC renewed Daryl Dixon for a 4th season and announced it would be the last, Adult Swim announced a spinoff of Rick And Morty, and Amazon picked up The Legend Of Vox Machina for a 5th and final season.

TV Shows Watched: Foundation: S3E3 (Apple plus) with audio description, the Sandman: S2E6 (Netflix) with audio description, Tires: S2E8 (Netflix) with audio description, Untamed: S1E4 (Netflix) with audio description, Back To The Frontier: S1E3 (HBo MAX) with audio description, Dexter: S6E7 (Paramount Plus) with audio description, and Ballard: S1E2 (Amazon) with audio description.

Foundation- The Mule seems to be an unstoppable OP bad guy that could be impossible for anyone to defeat. He’s almost too much sometimes. This show is so oddly complex I have to laser focus on it, and I can’t imagine what hell this would be without audio description.

The Sandman- I would have cut off the last two minutes of the episode and ended on Dream cleaning himself. It would have been far more effective. But these poor writers are clearly trying to cram the remainder of The Sandman into this final season, leaving everything feeling rushed.

tires- I love Thomas Haden Church on this show. I cannot express that enough. I do really hope this narrative ends in a way where he comes back. Shane sometimes feels like he doesn’t have the right people to bounce off of with his humor, but Church is ready for anything.

Untamed- I’m still unamused. They find a body, and use it as a reason to arrest and eject the weird community of transients. The description is always solid though, like when they uncover the skull.

Back To The Frontier- Not a lot of audio description due to the format, and the show is family friendly enough to keep the explosive heels of reality shows from participating. I’m not sure I’ll finish this. I feel like after three episodes, I have the vibe, and I don’t care how it ends.

Revival- Tried to watch this. The next episode for me (5?) has no audio description, so we are once again in a game of chicken. I’m not moving Peacock. Not until the next episode gets audio description. Even if it means I don’t finish the series.

Dexter- Lumen ends the episode playing with Frederick, which basically sums up everything wrong with the trajectory of this show. instead of Dexter helping a victim cope with PTSD and get revenge, she seems to be sinking her claws into parts of the narrative where she doesn’t belong.

Ballard- Renee Ballard ends up, in the second episode, needing to explore her romantic love life. what’s interesting is that we can watch a show like Bosch, and not worry about who he’s dating, or sleeping with, and it doesn’t control the narrative ever. but, Ballard has to answer that question immediately, lest people get the wrong idea about her. Why can’t she take a page from the book of Elzabeth and just simply run her own damn show without a husband or boyfriend (or wife/girlfriend). Why does badass Maggie Q immediately need a shoulder?
