Daryl Dixon- I went through literal unnecessary skullduggery to watch this. I should have had access to this on Sunday, as part of my AMC Plus subscription through my Prime channel add on, like every other Walking Dead spinoff. Instead, it wasn’t there. Going back and forth with AMC and Amazon, and fingers pointing at each other as to who the culprit is, I rearranged my cable package, and got AMC Plus through that. I didn’t have a lot of time, based on the renewal date for my AMC Plus add-on. So, finally, after having a few days of conversations with AMC and Amazon, neither of which made me believe I would ever get to see this show unless some dramatic changes were made in my life, I noticed on Wednesday, just before my subscription would end (and after I already activated the new one, and cancelled the channel add on), right at the fucking top of my Prime app on Wednesday night was “Daryl Dixon, Season 3 now available with your AMC Plus subscription.” Seriously. Neither service could have let me know this was coming? NEITHER? Fuck off three ways to Sunday.

The Buccaneers- I’m going to do a full review of this. Some big revelations in that last episode, which should shake up a season three. yes, I noticed how the series had progressively less time for its only LGBTQ character. Such is life.

Sausage party: Foodtopia- Now that we know how the food keeps the humans alive, our three original cast members have to come to terms with what price they are willing to pay for their Utopia. Roundabout did a nice job with this description. Considering the food carnage, it was nice to get as much as we did. I just was imagining what twitching loaded nachos would look like. Horrifying, probably. When you think of what that is, being a combination of foods, it basically is the broken down corpses of different foods.

Ginny and Georgia- Georgia is getting stir crazy in house arrest. Ginny is tired of everyone staring at her, and she feels guilty because she’s not even sure she should be rooting for her mom to not go to jail. Paul is dealing with the “Georgia issue” at work. The new AD is fine. I didn’t really have many problems with the first two seasons, so this is a lateral move.

Task- the new Mark Ruffalo series at HBO, from the creator of Mayor Of east Town. The episode does finally kick into gear toward the end, but it felt really slow and expository for the majority of the episode. It has some action right at the beginning, and the end, but it meanders through the middle as we learn more about the key players. My initial reaction is that Mare Of east town was paced better and more consistently than this. It doesn’t mean this can’t be great, but if I was just basing it all on the pilot, this wouldn’t get high marks. Mark Ruffalo would get me to stick around for a few episodes though.

Hostage- The series finally ends. And, considering the show is called Hostage, it needed to end with one, so despite having solved a hostage crisis already this season, we find ourselves right back there at the end. I’m going to do a review, hopefully, but don’t rush to see this one. it’s OK. Adrenaline Studios is good on description, not great on dialogue translation.
