I watched four movies today. So, naturally, if this list seems small, that could be why. 5) unsolved Mysteries (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes The third episode from the new season was just a missing child episode, focusing on the frequency that kids are taken by a parent during a divorce and never seen or heard from again. The main case we start with explores a woman whose husband essentially moved to a country where kidnapping doesn’t exist, and the father would have the right to custody anyway. So, not much can be done, and she hasn’t heard from her … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 18th

This was a truly exceptional day of television. Trying to rank these shows was really har. I don’t think I’ve ever had this problem with this many shows. 8) Ghosts (CBS/ Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes When you see Ghosts at the bottom, it usually means I saw very little shows that day. However, that’s not true here. I think the only reason I could come up with for putting what was a rather interesting episode involving a guest star being in love with one of the ghosts, was that they made it a two-parter, and I just haven’t … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 17th

A couple of shows in this race today. Who ended up on top? 7) My Next Guest… (Netflix) English Audio Description?: No I’m not really grading this program. i didn’t finish it. There was no audio description, which meant that whenever Zelenskyy was speaking, i didn’t understand most of what he said. I actually don’t know if his translator was speaking for him, as I sometimes heard someone with a Ukrainian accent, but it was all a bit confusing. I didn’t finish this program, so i feel uncomfortable grading it. Episode Grade: Unwatchable. 6) Rami (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 16th

Well, I know fans of the Charlie Hunnam series Shantorum are going to be sad that the show got cancelled yesterday by Apple Plus. Apple is usually pretty good about letting a show find its audience, so for a show to be cancelled so quickly after its last episode dropped, the viewership on this must have been really bad. I can understand why, as having been a few episodes in, I wasn’t really grabbed by the show either. Unlike The Imperfects, which i have decided to finish despite cancellation, I’m dropping Shantorum from my roundup effective immediately (as I already … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 15th

Obviously, I was a little busy today. Shorter list than usual, I’m afraid. 4) Tell Me lies (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes As I mentioned previously with this show, I’m already at the point where I no longer feel like I need to know how it ends. I feel like it just takes up time from other shows. This show has a totally serious conversation in one scene, and then in the next sends its guys offf on a competition to drink beer and pee on a rock that looks like boobs. The weird thing is, this isn’t a comedy. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 14th

Eight TV shows today, plus two films. It’s officially 12 Days To Christmas. Did you get all your shopping done? 8) Unsolved Mysteries (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes The episode that starts off with Jodie Foster talking about her home being haunted by ghosts, and then veers in a wildly different direction was the second of the four new episodes, and the most interesting thing about this episode was that they found someone named Jodie Foster who is not “the” Jodie Foster. Episode Grade: C 7) The Devil’s Hour (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes I would love to get into … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 13th

I expanded a bit more with my amount of shows. But even with 8 irons in the fire, it may not change the show at the top. 8) Shantorum (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes It wasn’t a bad day for TV, this just happened to be the show that ends up at the bottom of this list. I’m not getting as engaged in Shantorum, despite Charlie Hunnam. In this episode, we learned a bit more about the underbelly, and i can’t help but think that he was supposed to come here to reform his image and he’s not even … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 12th

Only four shows today, but they were all hour shows, and I watched three movies. So, there you go. 4) The Devil’s Hour (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes This UK import is a slow burn, like a scary movie with no jump scares. It’s building to something, and that something could be absolutely nuts. I just don’t know. But after sitting through Netflix’s Devil In Ohio, I’m also convinced there might be nothing behind the curtain at all. This has one more episode to convince me it’s worth my limited time. Just whispering cool things like 3:33 being The Devil’s … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 11th

I went ahead and tried a second episode of something I said I was done with. I’m such a sucker. Eight shows in the rankings today, and not all had audio description. At least one brand new show. Will an old favorite end up on top? 8) American Gigolo (Paramount Plus/Showtime) English Audio Description?: No Since P+ doesn’t make the audio description available, I guess I will never really truly uncover the mystery of the murder in this series. The second episode was a bit easier to follow, as most are after you sit through one episode banging your head … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 10th

Getting a bit more caught up here… so bear with me. This SNL wasn’t even close to being Live for me. 7) Saturday Night Live (NBC/Peacock) English Audio Description?: No I do kind of wonder why SNL doesn’t have audio description. They do live audio description. It’s a thing, and it would help with sight gags. Mainly, I was here for the Kenan and Kel reboot sketch I had heard about, but Kiki Palmer took up way too much of that time. Kel only showed up briefly. For some 20 years, I’ve held a grudge with Lorne Michaels for not … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 9th

Knocked out a lot of TV shows today. Where do they stack up in the rankings? 9) Mike (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes At this point, I’m kind of just watching to finish. I must be close enough. I don’t know what I was expecting when i started into this, but this somewhat joking humor back and forth about serious issues just isn’t working for me as a format. Rhodes is delivering a good performance, and i won’t take that away from him, but the structure of the show, and how they seem very apologetic for all the bad things … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 8th

Six shows on the block today. Did I like all of them? Is something atypically up front, with at least one of these shows airing their season finale? Trying to build some suspense here. 6) A Friend Of The family (Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes What on God’s green earth is happening on this show? Was this really the best structure they felt like we needed for this show? The first episode went from 0-100 in a blink of an eye, and we never really got to know anybody. Then the second episode was creepy as hell, but I still … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 7th

Five shows entered the arena today (though I also managed three films). Which one ended up on top? 5) Tell Me A lie Tell Me Lies (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Despite the fact that the rest of the cast returned after that Steven episode, the show isn’t regaining the kind of momentum I’d like it to. It’s really just making me wonder why I’m sticking with it till the end, when i know there’s a new season of Gossip Girl. Episode Grade: C+ 4) Devil In Ohio (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes I’ve already had it with May, victim … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 6th

The Too Much TV Roundup- December 5th New week. new mix up of what I’ve been keeping up with. 5) Rami (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes I feel like somehow this season is different in that the show is no longer Rami centric. Take this episode, which treats Rami almost as a passing thought. his sister seemed to be more of a focus, like Rami is searching for that ensemble magic that it didn’t quite start out with, but in order to do so, it almost has to totally abandon its lead character entirely. I think there’s a happy medium, … Continue reading

More Covid reviews, now brought to you in part by the drugs I’m on to fight Covid. Some good stuff. 6) American Gigolo (Paramount Plus/Showtime) English Audio Description Available?: No Since paramount Plus has quietly told me to go fuck myself for three months, I’ve decided to continue to review Showtime content despite the fact they won’t import the existing audio description. Yes, if you subscribe directly to Showtime, they have been making an effort to add audio description to all of their newer shows, going back at least as far as Yellowjackets. So, here we sit with American Gigolo, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 4th
