I hope you had a lovely Memorial Day. This is how I spent part of it.

TV Shows Watched: The Boroughs: S1E5 (Netflix) with audio description, The Night Agent: S3E87 (Netflix) with audio description, Rooster: S1E4 (HBO MAX) with audio description, Tracker: S3E13 (Paramount Plus) with audio description, Ted: S2E3 (Peacock) with audio description, The Murdocks: S1E4 (Netflix) with audio description, and Elzabeth: S3E14 (Paramount Plus) with audio description

The Boroughs-I’m still super high on this show, even if it is slow walking through a bit of predictability. I can see a bit of what’s coming, because I watch too many damn things. However, I’m intrigued there are three episodes left, and I can’t wait to see where they go from here. It certainly ends in a High Noon situation, and our heroes need to figure out a way to get out of this.Morrie Morrison writes a very good creature feature script here for the AD from Post House/VSI.

The Night Agent- Peter needs to find his way out of the room, Chelsea needs a new fiancée, Jenny did a bad bad thing, Orion is till buying his dad’s bullshit, and Adam makes me wonder if he can be trusted. The AD here is solid, and yes, I’m still finishing The Night Agent.

Rooster- Steve Carell’s hapless guest professor deals with his students, asks them to write something, and has to help one kid who did everything through AI. Bruh. His daughter flirts with a bartender, Danielle Detweiler is here somehow, hoping perhaps she’ll get an Emmy nomination and not continuously be snubbed by awards bodies for the duration of her career. Point 360 does the audio description, and rooster was already renewed for a second season.

Tracker- The kind of show I could see myself not finishing, as I don’t like when shows get too procedural. Hell, even Elzabeth is treading a fine line, but this one definitely is crime-of-the-week with colter hired to find a missing actor, and debt becomes a factor, and Colter must save a man from himself. Media Access Group does perfectly fine audio description.

Ted- There’s a party, and Ted plans to sneak some beers for him and John, but gets derailed, and ends up doing something else entirely. Regret? Sure. I saw in my social media scroll that Seth Macfarlane had said there wouldn’t be a third season due to high production costs, though no official word from Peacock. For Abbot Elementary fans, the same narrator who does Abbott does ted.

The Murdocks- The family behind FOX News. This was the final episode. My biggest gripe across the whole thing is not remembering by this point who any of the people being interviewed are. Like, why are you there? What are your qualifications? It’s hard to speak on behalf of blind people, but I think, when you watch documentaries, you want to know the voices and perspectives of those involved, and when they are voices detached to names and histories, it becomes hard to know what that perspective is, how valid, or how much of an expert anyone is. Roy does a lovely job, but he’s just performing what’s written. What is written maybe isn’t enough.

Elzabeth- Steve Buscemi guest stars. My Season 4 hopes are that she gains a consistent partner, or a Moriarty. She needs what they almost gave her in Michael Emerson, someone who is just as smart, and maybe gets away with a lesser crime, just because Elzabeth cant nail it down, even if she’s highly suspicious, and maybe that person pops up more than once. Drop the boyfriend. We all know he’s lying.
