The Too Much TV Roundup- June 28th
When it’s your birthday, what shows do you pick out? Do you pick out all winners? I feel pretty good about my assortment of shows. 1) Ozark (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes One thing is for sure. I’m going to miss the hell out of this show. What a clusterfuck this episode was in a brilliant way. Wendy spent so much time trying to do her usual maneuvering to try and get Mel out of the picture so he couldn’t testify in her custody hearing, but it was all for naught. Meanwhile, maybe she’s starting to see what Marty … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 28th
The Too Much TV Roundup- June 27th
Not as consistent of a day as I had the day before, but still some really good shows out there to be watched. At least a few anyway. 1) Better Call Saul (AMC/Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes I am now at the point of a conundrum. I just wrapped what remained on Netflix, which contains audio description. Now, I can break into the 6th and final season on AMC, and try to go without audio description… or I can wait a godforsaken length of time for that to hit Netflix. But the Season 5 finale, which played with a … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 27th

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 26th
A near perfect day of TV show watching. If only The Offer could nail those impressions. 1) Girls5Eva (Peacock) English Audio description Available?: Yes The Girls take on different challenges, but what gets served up most is now that Summer is single again, her parents are rolling back into town to protect her purity. But, when she learns her parents haven’t always been so… pure, will she keep her pledge? Episode Grade: A 2) Undone (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes I really enjoyed Season 1, and I just assumed I’d never see it again.

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 26th
I have nothing snarky to start this post today. Really. I don’t. 1) Hacks (HBo MAX) English Audio Description Available?: Yes This show is continued brilliance. This episode saw the gang at a state fair, and I don’t know which moment was funnier. Seeing Ava choke on one vitamin, or her comment about the 800 dollar pair of shoes that she knew would help get that Susan lady some serious commission. Great episode. Episode Grade: A 2) Breeders (FX/hulu) English Audio Description Available?: No I need to sit down in a room with the Emmy voters. We have to talk … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 26th

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 24th
Capping off the week with some nice shows, and some not so nice. 1) The Boys (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In the 6th episode of the season, our main characters started to make bold choices. The Deep’s bold choice was to have sex with an octopus. But, A Train finally understood what it felt like to be on the receiving end of superhero nonsense that goes unchecked. Noir decides to go AWOL, right after being complimented by Homelander. Dude doesn’t like compliments I guess. Milk and Starlite team up. Kimiko can still kick ass without her powers. And, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 24th

Directed By: Mike Judge Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: Picking up where we kinda sorta last saw them, Beavis and Butthead are still very much on a mission to score. But also, this time, they are on a mission to space. Because, why not? What Works: I can remember being in high school and trying to find ways to watch Beavis and Butthead. My local cable provider shockingly didn’t carry MTV, so … Continue reading Beavis and Butthead Do The Universe
The Too Much TV Roundup- June 23rd
Once again, I managed to squeeze in Episode 5 of this strange new limited series about the end of democracy. I don’t recognize any of the actors, and it’s airing on multiple channels, and it doesn’t have audio description. But here are some other programs… 1) Ozark (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes As I inch closer to the finale, I realize more and more that I will not be getting the ending to this show that I need. You know that Dark Knight quote? You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 23rd

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 22nd
Nerd Day! A bunch of things aimed at a very specific group all dropped today. All of this, plus I managed a multiverse of madness. 1) The Umbrella Academy (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Maybe it was the dance fight. No, it was definitely the dance fight, dream sequenced or not, that sent this episode to the top of my rankings chart. Really happy to have this show back for another 10 episodes. I was wondering when they were going to address the Vanya/Elliot Page need to transition the character, but not in the first episode would be that … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 22nd
