I’m angry. Netflix cancelled The Boroughs, which feels like a personal attack. They killed it prior to awards season, I guess assuming that the show would be incapable of landing on anyone’s radar with this talented cast. The show apparently already had a season 2 writers room, and negotiations had already begun for a second season with the cast.Boo. One more terrific one-and-done from the streamer behind My Life With The Walter Boys, Ginny And Georgia, Virgin River, Sweet magnolias, and I’m starting to see the pattern.

Netflix: We’re Like Hallmark, But Better Funded

TV Shows Watched: Detective Hole: S1E4 (Netflix) with audio description, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed: S1E3 (Apple) with audio description, Rooster: S1E6 (HBO MAX) with audio description, Daemons Of The Shadow Realm: S1E3 (CrunchyRoll) with audio description, Love Story: S1E9 (Disney Plus) with audio description, and Running Point: S2E6 (Netflix) with audio description

Detective Hole: An interesting crime thriller, now that Detective Hole has to track this new killer, working in quasi-tandem with the cop he’s sure killed his partner, but they have to shove that aside to catch a new killer. this is an interesting format, having our hero be a washed up drunk who just rebounded from a firing to track a new serial killer, next to a guy he’s sure is a killer, but perhaps not this one. Sadly, it is TTS audio description, but they’ve tried to make it a fairly decent track for TTS.

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed- This series is getting darker quicker. And, it seems like a show where very few people have clean hands. The show eliminates someone in a way that could really bring Jake Johnson into the show so he isn’t just an insufferable ex-husband. The AD here is great, especially during the shoe segment.

Rooster- Well, that’s an unpleasant pleasant twist at the end. Super awkward for Rooster. I’m excited to see where that goes. I actually liked that Greg had picked up this sad college kid as his roommate, and while the twist is clever, I would have held it for an episode. Nice audio description. Was he really not wearing any pants at the end there? At all?

Daemons Of The Shadow Realm- The AD team seemingly doing all the description for CrunchyRoll does nice work with fake voices, because the writers are strong. I feel like I could use some size relativity on Left and Right, but other than that, it works nicely.While this episode wasn’t crazy violent, the first episode sets the tone for this show not being for kids, clearly.

Love Story- Thank God this is behind me. I don’t know if I’m up to doing the level of research needed to fully slam this, since critics seem swept up by it, but Ryan Murphy has a way of manipulating the past that has only gotten worse. Before, he used to relish in truths and half-truths, now he’s openly quoted as being flexible in projects like this, if he finds that an aspect of the actual people that didn’t happen, might have made their story more interesting. Needless to say, this is not the definitive anything, and I can’t believe I watched all of it. I’m less mad about All’s Fair.

Running Point- Fresh out of her breakup, and a SOLID reference to a film from Kate Hudson’s actual film career, we get a focus on the dancers. Will they finally be paid well? The AD here is perfect for what the show is, matching the tone, like in the montage of things Hudson’s Isla does when exploring if she’s a bad person.
