The Small Screen diaries: 11/01/26

John Stark

Kicking off the Small Screen Diaries, which I think should probably start coming with a spoiler warning. Generally, I’m pretty far behind on some shows, so I’m not always worried about spoilers because I’m reviewing things after they’ve already happened. But I have no idea how far behind you are, and that’s not really fair. So, consider yourself warned. There may be spoilers ahead, and today there’s certainly a lot to talk about. In first place is Dark Matter, Season 2, Episode 5, on Apple TV with audio description. What a wonderful episode, and also an excellent example of audio … Continue reading The Small Screen diaries: 11/01/26

As the sun rises this early morning, I reflect upon that which I have consumed in the day prior, and meditate now on the content therein, deciphering for you which of these programs rose to the occasion. Probably going to go back to kicking off tomorrow, but it’s a change, at least. Taking home the top spot on a rather interesting day, especially considering some of the newer entries, is Dark Matter, Season 2, Episode 3, on Apple TV, with audio description. The existence of so many different versions of the same characters makes this an excellent showcase for audio … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 10/18/26

This certainly suggests that Paramount is committed to continuing to tell stories within the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, even after shifting the upcoming animated film, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, away from a traditional theatrical release and over to streaming. For fans of the new series, which premiered yesterday, congratulations! Apparently, Paramount has enough confidence in the show that it doesn’t even need to wait for the audience … Continue reading The Small Screen diaries: 10/09/26

The Small Screen Diaries: 09/20/26

Normally, when I do the Small Screen Diary, I start with the actual order in which I watched the shows. Today, I actually want to throw American Hostage, Season 1, Episode 1, right up at the top. This is the new MGM+ drama, and it was actually one of the later things I watched during the day, but it also had one of the more interesting audio description tracks. I didn’t get to listen to the credits at the end, so I don’t have the full AD information yet, but some choices are definitely being made here. This is the … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/20/26
