Another week, and another reminder of the shows across my broad watchlist. Joining the list this week are The Handmaids Tale (Hulu), North of North (Netflix), Hacks (MAX), Got To Get Out (Hulu), Jurassic World: Chaos Theory (Netflix), and Lazarus (MAX). WINNER: Hacks (MAX) with audio description- this was a tough decision. I had two award winning juggernauts returning, and The Studio really deserves to stay on top. But, ultimately, I love the premiere of Hacks, which puts Deborah and Ava on a completely different playing field, while also bolstering the supporting cast and giving them all stuff to do. … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- The Weekly Rankings

Starting off today with a RIP for actor Nicky Katt, who may not be the most recognizable name, but I remember him from movies like Knockaround Guys, TV Shows like Boston Public, and he was also featured in The Dark Knight. He was 54. The next piece of business is that Apple Plus has cancelled Mythic Quest after 4 seasons, but is planning to upload a revised season finale this week that will offer a bit more closure for the series. TV Shows returning this week include The Last Of Us (HBO/Sun,MAX/Mon with audio description) and Law And Order: Organized … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 04/12/25

Recently I was made aware that a lovely voice talent in the audio description community passed. Dianne Newman was prolific enough that I knew her name, and could remember it when mentioned on a project. Thanks to the work we’ve done at The ADNA (theadna.org), some of her credits are posted. I’m sure this isn’t all of her work. I’m fairly certain I heard her recently on a horror title, perhaps Bloat? Let’s stroll down memory lane. Anne With An E (Netflix)- I never did get around to watching this, but I know this series has fans. hopefully, Dianne gave … Continue reading A Thank You To Dianne Newman

Pets- Disney Plus is in the content creation business, and Bryce Dallas Howard is in the business of padding her directing portfolio. Of course, she has a long way to go before she can reach her dad’s level, and Pets won’t get her there. this does have audio description, but the whole thing is going to be underwhelming for a blind/low-vision audience regardless. It is shot like a talking head format, with interview to interview, despite the obvious draw being the animals. As a blind audience, we likely want to see cute puppies and kittens, or cool pet owls, but … Continue reading Going In Blind: Pets
