So, I didn’t announce this was going away, I just reached a day with no TV. Then another day. I’ve been so inundated with movie screeners and voting deadlines, I stopped watching most TV. You did not miss much. The only two shows I kept up with were Welcome To Dairy and Stranger things. There are still several shows I haven’t seen.

Welcome To Dairy- I think I’ve gotten the chance to thank the team behind this, because their description is excellent. From Pennywise casually munching on some heads, to some grotesque specters haunting our psychic, everything is really gory, and the description is wonderful. They also did a nice job with the death of the most major character so far this season.I did have a question as to whether or not the racists noticed Marge, as they seemed to shoo the one white girl away, but I can’t imagine they would have left her there. Was she hiding?Do they not look down? Also, from a creative standpoint, a missed opportunity to have her dad be one of the masked goons. And this show has slowly started to slip down as it fails to make sense anymore. The desire to provide answers to things creates a rule book the show itself isn’t following. Make it make sense.

The Rainmaker- The finale, and I don’t have time to even entertain the idea I’d review this. I wasn’t a huge fan of the show, and I’m not sure it’s bad either. It is in the grey area in the middle, where it works just enough, but has enough hokey writing to drag it down sometimes. However, in the finale, John Slattery was excellent. the audio description has been fine, especially by Peacock standards. Did anyone really want the team behind the Traitors audio description working with WBD shows? No.

Tulsa King- In the second to last episode of the season, Robert Patrick raged out, and Samuel Motherfucking Jackson entered the chat. He’s getting a spinoff. The audio description, done by Media Access Group, is always solid. I wonder if Stallone fired everyone on set for the upcoming season because someone finally gave him a note that we don’t always understand what he’s saying, and he’s starting to need to be dubbed/subtitled. He definitely had a few words I had to guess what he said. Jackson was kind of wasted here, and I hope his show lets him be himself the way Tulsa King embraces Stallone’s tropes.

And that’s it. Three shows. A far cry from what I was doing, but I’ve had some asking when this would come back. I suppose… when I got three shows? Maybe that’s the minimum that doesn’t feel so sad?
