The Too Much TV Roundup- September 3rd

John Stark

I watched a lot of great television this day. So, don’t be surprised by my top pick, because it was really freaking hard. 1) Harley Quinn (HBo MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes The 6th episode of the season, essentially a bottle episode centered around the Joker, where he’s raising a family, sitcom style, and has an adopted son named Benecio that he really wants to feel more pride in the heritage of his name and his culture, and tries to fight an entitled PTA mom to get his son a spot on a cultural exchange trip. Seriously. This is the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- September 3rd

The Too Much TV Roundup- September 2nd

John Stark

Well, yes, this is a roundup, but pretty much also serves as my official thoughts on the new Lord of The Rings series. 1) Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of power (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes So, it has arrived. And it was worth the arrival. JA Bayona, whose directorial career is a mixed bag of sorts, manages to direct a rather well done pilot for a series set in Middle earth. It has an expansive feel to it, much the same way a Game of Thrones series does, or even something like The Wheel Of Time, where … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- September 2nd

The Too Much TV Roundup- September 1st

John Stark

I finally had a slower day, and knocked out some shows. So this list is competitive as hell. I know the showrunners of these programs are eagerly awaiting… the results…. No? 1) She hulk (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Jennifer Walters is hitting her stride in the third episode which blended a lot of cameos and Marvel ideas with some regular comedy, as her colleague was forced to defend the douchebag from the first episode who claims he lavished Megan The Stallion with 175K in gifts, only to find out it wasn’t really her… it was a shapeshifting Asgardian. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- September 1st

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 31st

John Stark

Only three shows today. However, despite the fact I’ve talked previously to a handful of people “in the know”, none of them knew what I knew that came true yesterday. Showtime is now fully integrated as an add on to Paramount Plus, meaning you don’t need two different apps. This bodes well for audio description, which I will be complaining about post haste, as Yellowjackets at least (which is known to have existing description recorded) had none. 1) The Orville (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes I had no idea where we were going with this episode. Honestly, I didn’t know … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 31st

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 30th

John Stark

Still a work week, so only five shows battle it out. Let me tell you, be ready for a surprise. 1) The Lake (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes In a shocking turn of events, a show that has never topped the list broke through in like the 7th episode of the series. What we had here was the return of birth mother (who hilariously was just called that in the audio description until someone said her name), which allowed for a lot of context to how Billie came to be in the first place, how a kick ass chill girl … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 30th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 29th

John Stark

Welcome to a shorter list yet again. Can you tell that my work is a bit busier? That’s what these shorter lists lead to. 1) House Of The Dragon (HBO/HBOMAX) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Despite a strong showing this day from… well… nothing else, Hosue of The Dragon slayed again. This is a show that is structured and written well enough to restore faith, much like Better Call Saul that Prequels are sometimes the way to go, instead of a spinoff or a sequel. I know we all wanted an Arya Stark series, but this show is still creating … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 29th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 28th

John Stark

Today, picking number one meant I could easily have chosen any one of three shows. Each one deserved it for different reasons. Only one gets my top spot. 1) The Sandman (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes while last episode I found the questionable existence of Johanna Constantine perplexing, i did have a good laugh when Lucifer Morningstar was uttered. And to know that once again mazekin is at his side… or wait! Lucifer is a woman? Anyway, as a fan of that show, and being fully aware that Lucifer came after Sandman, I just found it unintentionally hilarious. But what … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 28th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 27th

John Stark

Today, you might say, was a bit of a catch up day. Forgive the ensuing madness. 1) Baymax (Disney Plus) English Audio Description/: Yes i bet you didn’t see this one coming. At the top of my list is the short form series for a very good reason. the third episode of the season is one of the best episodes of any TV show this year, taking a thoughtful, honest, and rather realistic look at a young girl’s first period, which she has the misfortune of having at school, where the stalls are out of pads. But Baymax is here … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 27th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 26th

John Stark

Welcome. I finally rolled out enough shows to make this list a bit more interesting. So, six shows enter, only one can win. Two were season finales, with one potentially suspected as a series finale. We shall see. 1) The Orville (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes in Twice in A Lifetime we saw a device that allowed time travel, which instantly let us all know… this will be a thing. it ended up sending Gordon 400 years back in the past, and gave us a frustrating but very interesting concept of time travel, and whether or not things are how … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 26th

The Too Much tV Roundup- August 25th

John Stark

These roundups are taking a hit this week. I was actually about halfway through a fourth title, but I couldn’t finish it yesterday. So, these rankings are hard today. 1) Solar Opposites (Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Yes This episode of Solar Opposites was so on brand, that with only 3 shows in the mix today, I have to give this one the edge. not only did it give me my typical laughs I expect from the show, but it truly encapsulated that wacky tone that feels a bit left of Rick and morty, and enough so for it to … Continue reading The Too Much tV Roundup- August 25th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 24th

John Stark

I’m slightly disappointed with myself. This is how busy I am currently, that I could only eek out three shows. It makes ranking them easier, I guess. Or maybe not. 1) Locke and Key (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Spoilers! in Episode 3, which hence to forth will now be known as “What Hath Bodhie Wrought?” My favorite character needed a good slap. Talk about fucking everything up. Like, everything. I already know, because they keep giving bodhie the keys to put in the Harlequin chest, that Dodge will soon have all the keys. My only hope is that our … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 24th

Still pretty busy in real life, so a rather low amount of shows entered the thunder dome today. One show very much came out alive. Spoiler Warning. 1) The Umbrella Academy (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes So this 1 episode a week thing meant that 10 weeks later, I’ve finally finished Season 3 of The umbrella Academy. I haven’t seen an official pickup for a 4th season, but even if Netflix goes 4 and done, they will go 4, or I’ll be calling them on the daily until they do. Right now, I’m going to assume the writers have plans, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 23rd

i squeezed some shit in today just for you. Yes, you. You are special. 1) House Of The Dragon (HBo/HBO MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes I could do with a dial back on the campaign for this show, as I thought the pilot spoke for itself. It featured a great way to introduce us to characters we don’t know, in a world we are familiar with, make us care about them, show us who the major players are, and give us that Game of Thrones dread where anyone can die at anytime. Perfectly executed with lots of heart and tons … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 22nd

A little early for me, but don’t worry, I watched a ton of TV today, and I’m too busy to post this tomorrow morning. 1) Trying (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes This. Season. Premiere. Was. Everything! Where Breeders may be a more dramatic cynical look at raising a family, Trying has focused on the happier moments, pushing that our main couple really is trying. What I loved so much about this episode was that all of their family came together when they found out that only one of the new kids was staying. And while our leads were off … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 21st

Some days are easier to rank than others. This is one of those days. 1) For All Mankind (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes In Happy valley, the race to Mars is on. There’s a dab of politics in this episode, but this quickly becomes about saving the lives of the Russian crew that are lagging behind, and after attempting to pull off something stupid, end up putting their lives in mortal danger. Ultimately, one of the two crews heades by either Danielle or Ed has to save them, but it would mean that crew wouldn’t have enough fuel to … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 20th
