The Small Screen Diaries: 09/02/25

John Stark

TV Shows Watched: The Runarounds: S1E1 (Amazon) with audio description, Platonic: S2E5 (Apple plus) with audio description, The Twisted Tale Of Amanda Knox: S1E3 (Hulu) with audio description, and Mindhunter: S1E10 (Netflix) with audio description. The Runarounds- I’m glad I got to this quickly. So, if you are interested in The Runarounds, DO NOT stay for the preview of the season that runs at the end. I’ve never seen such a spoiler laden thing in my life. It’s ridiculous. it is one of those “this season on The runarounds”, but everything they showed had a far different tone than the … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/02/25

Nan returns home from Ginny/Guy, to her Duke Theo, who has been in the sheets with Lizzie this whole time, but Lizzie is about to get married herself. Of course, no one can get divorced, and Ginny is trapped by a wolf of a husband who is seemingly magically not abusive all of a sudden. … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/21/25

John Stark

TV Shows Watched: The Sandman: S2E9 (Netflix) with audio description, The institute: S1E5 (MGM Plus) with audio description, Countdown: S1E8 (Amazon) with audio description, Hitmakers: S1E2 (Netflix) with audio description, Mindhunter: S1E7 (Netflix) with audio description, Breaking Bad: S2E8 (Netflix) with audio description The Sandman- Still consistently great audio description from DVW. Some of the best moments of description are what happens to Fiddler’s Green, and the description of that, but also Loki continuing his mischief. The episode was petty centric on Joanna Constantine and The Corinthian, but definitely ended on a dour note for Dream. The Institute- What a … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/12/25

TV Shows Watched: Building The Band: S1E9 (Netflix) with audio description, Stick: S1E9 (Apple plus) with audio description, Mindhunter: S1E5 (Netflix) with audio description, Washington Black: S1E2 (Hulu) with audio description, Dexter: S5E8 (Paramount Plus) with audio description, Red Eye: S1E1 (Hulu) no audio description, Breaking Bad: S2E? (Netflix) with audio description Building The Band- Seems like the right final three. Liam is my favorite judge, as he actually feels like he wants to give real feedback, and not just “reality show judge” babble that Nicole is so used to giving, after spending years telling every mediocre celebrity they are … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 07/27/25

John Stark

TV News: there’s been enough movement the past couple of days for me to recap some of the decisions. Netflix gave Virgin River an early Season 8 renewal, as Season 7 concludes filming. Apple also did the same for Slow Horses, which got a Season 7 renewal, even though Season 6 has yet to premiere. Apple also picked up the new Sci-Fi series MurderBot for a second season. ABC has gone straight to series on the Scrubs revival after Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke solidified deals to return to the series, which could land as early as mid season. In … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 07/11/25

The Small Screen Diaries: The Weekly Rankings

John Stark

Once again I’m running down the sixty shows on my broad watchlist. Joining the list this week, which was fairly slow for new shows, are The Sandman (Netflix), All Of Us Are Dead (Netflix), The Office (Peacock), Such Brave Girls (Hulu), Nautilus (AMC Plus), Dexter (Paramount Plus), and Prison Break (Netflix). I wrapped some shows, and anything that would rank outside the top 60 dies. WINNER: Squid Game (Netflix) with audio description- I knew I was going to lose my favorites. After the tragic uprising didn’t work last season, it meant playing out Squid Game till the end. I’m only … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: The Weekly Rankings

The Killer

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description Provided By: International Digital Center Written By Liz Gutman Narrated By: Jamie Lemcheck In some regards, streaming deals have been very good to certain filmmakers. Martin Scorsese, for example, has benefitted a lot from having large budgets for his films The Irishman and Killers Of The Flower Moon, two adult dramas that never would have been handed that much money for a film looking to recoup money at the box office. Then we have David Fincher and his Netflix deal, which led to the underrated Mindhunter, but also the overrated Mank. I … Continue reading The Killer

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Netflix (but it left on June 30th) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Description Provided By: IFTSC I’ve had a brush with Dragon Tattoo before. I own this damn thing on DVD, somewhere in my collection. It was a blind purchase at the time, something that was on sale during Black Friday that I thought was up my alley. I do remember attempting to watch this at night one time, and falling asleep. Many moons later, I tackled this again, in broad daylight, and finally stayed awake. It’s not a good sign of where this review is … Continue reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
