the Hunting Wives- So far, excellent audio description. this is a spicy series from what I’ve heard, and even the little bit you get in the first episode as you’re eased into it does a nice job of tracking this show like it’s an original from the days of skinemax. I feel lots of people are going to have sex during the duration of the show. The pilot sets up with some nudity, a little masturbation, and lots of strong suggestive looks and phrases. No idea if this thing actually has a plot. it seems to just be a young woman from Boston is roped into this Texas lifestyle, ends up at a shindig for the NRA, meets a horny housewife and her friend circle, is made constantly uncomfortable by everything, and along the way everything feels like the first 30 seconds of porn. Like everyone talks to each other like they are really randy, and down to fuck at all times. This is such a weird show for Netflix. It’s like they had some algorithm that told them their subscribers wanted a red state version of virgin River that doubles as soft core. I can’t wait to see where this wonder goes next. So far, no LGBTQ representation,but I have a feeling these characters swing all sorts of ways.

the Sandman- A rather dull episode that doesn’t make a lot of sense. I like this series overall, but Dream, for some reason, alerts Loki rather unnecessarily, leading Loki and Puck to kidnap the baby that will become the new dream. Meanwhile, he goes to his father, time, and time offers him one thing… to go back to the moment he decided not to go to Hades in place of his son, because Time knows Hades would have denied him anyway. however, time is apparently unaware of the Butterfly Effect, and i find it hard to believe, in that situation, that Dream making that gesture toward his son, and setting up his son for a less depressing eternity, might not have put his kid in the position of needing or wanting his father to kill him. DVW, Connor DeWolf and Justin Smallbridge are doing nice work though.

Tires-I’m loving Thomas Haden church, and if this show writes him off in the finale, I’m gonna be pissed. There’s a line where he leaves Dave in charge of one of the locations, and he gives this scathing insult to Dave about how he’s not sure how Dave does anything, let alone run a store for a few hours. church is the perfect ingredient to take this show to the next level. Shane needs someone to really bounce off of, and church is more than able to give him that.

The Pitt- the ending of this episode pissed me off. I know Cassie did technically a bad thing, but leaving her work because of the ankle device would have done more harm. Doctors “first do no harm’, and her ankle tracker thing was popping off, and she couldn’t go home in the middle of a mass casualty event. I was half hoping Noah Wyle, whose character is at the end of his rope, was going to fly in like a ninja with “I’m ready to die today!” And fight the officers. That feels like where his inevitable mental breakdown is headed. The episode cuts in such a way, that episode 15 could open with Noah Wyle landing a roundhouse to a face as we pick up where we left off. The thing is… yes, she tampered with the device, but she was also where she was allowed to be, just past her time, but for a good reason. I honestly forget what else happened. I’m laser focused on this one story element now.

Destination X- Sopiler Alert: Someone won. I could see NBC not doing another run of this show. It’s not the most rewarding experience as the clues are often too telling to have in the audio description, and if Jeffrey Dean Morgan wasn’t hosting, I would have stopped a long time ago.

All Of us Are Dead- the virus is evolving, because of course it is.

The Gilded Age- Christine Baranski gives me life, but I’m lost otherwise. i watch this with my mom, and she loves it. There was a character that popped up and she asked me something about him, and I didn’t want to say “I’m pretending to follow this show, don’t ask me questions.” If I ever heard anything that was really amazing, or really terrible in the audio description, then I might bring it up. But other than the wonderful one liners they give to Baranski, I’m not the guy to ask about this show.
