The Too Much TV Roundup- August 10th

John Stark

Slow news day, but I finished one of my favorite shows of the year, so it’s a bittersweet ranking. 1) Shining Girls (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes My gift to the world would be this show. What an amazing finale that perfectly wrapped up the insanity of everything set up so far in the series, and also never needing to explain the magic behind the event. This came down to Kirby versus Harper, and the final hour really felt like a stand up and cheer type of hour, as the revelations kept coming, and I fell in love with … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 10th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 8th

John Stark

The start of a new week, and Amazon is being mean and reminding me there was still one more episode of Night Sky, after I finished it last week and it temporarily disappeared from my queue. I now see that Undone is still there, after going away, which perplexes me because I it really do not know where that story would have gone after that ending. That was a true finale ending if there ever was one. What the hell, Amazon? Stop temporarily disappearing shit from my queue. This wasn’t a problem before the redesign. 1) Night Sky (Amazon) English … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 8th

Prey

John Stark

Where I Watched It: hulu English Audio Description Provided By: Descriptive Video Works It’s odd that one of the films of the summer, is a Hulu exclusive. Prey is getting the kind of word of mouth where I’ve already seen multiple critics remind their readers/viewers that a month of Hulu would likely be cheaper than a movie ticket to see this in theatres, and that it’s good enough to warrant that trip, so just get Hulu for a month. And they aren’t wrong. In a weird way, that kind of quantifies how much your streaming service is worth. If you … Continue reading Prey

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 6th

John Stark

One of those super chill days where I cleared a lot off my watchlist. This list doesn’t even include any films watched. 1) The Orville (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Listen, Seth, I know that secretly you want to be done with this show for some reason. unfortunately, and I say this as a huge Family Guy fan from back in the day, this is the best thing you’ve ever done. This third episode, which featured a handful of the crew landing on a planet that showed life where there wasn’t supposed to be any was quite amazing. Sending each … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 6th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 5th

John Stark

Five shows. Really only two were in contention for the top spot. 1) Undone (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Well, I think that’s a series wrap. I hadn’t heard anything official about Undone being a two season show, but that felt like a series finale and not a season finale. Considering the entire series was wrapped up in a nice bow, I don’t know what a third season would conceptually even be. But, this final half hour really took everything it had ever built to, threw it in your face, and demanded that you love it. It was great. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 5th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 4th

John Stark

Well, I squeezed some shows in today for your viewing pleasure. At least one is a limited series that now is totally done. But did it top the list? 1) Loot (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes This was actually a pretty close race with not really a clear front runner, but of the seven programs I watched, Loot’s third episode, which featured Maya Rudolph at her absolute finest doing a “Hot Ones” interview, nudges out the rest of the shows. there were some contenders, for sure, but the singular funniest moment had to be that. Episode Grade: A 2) … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 4th

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 2nd

John Stark

Yesterday… I watched Night Sky… and it didn’t try to send me into another episode, and it was no longer in my continue watching. Today, it’s in my continue watching. I’m so confused. Did I finish that the other day? I guess, I’ll find out next week… when I try to finish it again? Anyway, pretty sure I did finish another show, but I’m going to not say which one because my world is upside down. 1) the Marvelous Ms maisel (Amazon) English Audio Description? Yes I do believe, and I don’t want to jinx it, that I’m all caught … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 2nd

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 1st

John Stark

I finished a show, though the knowledge that there won’t be a second season just made me frustrated with all those damn cliffhangers. Did it snag the top spot? 1) Breeders (FX/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No One of the few shows I ever actually make the exception for to top the list. Breeders chose to come out of left field and spend the day with Mark and his parents. As he tried to provide them with a happy day, a walk down memory lane, as their friend is in hospice, the whole thing went to shit when his mom revealed … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 1st

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 31st

John Stark

Toward the end of the week, once I’ve watched an episode from all the current shows I’m moving through is when I start to introduce other shows that were on my list to catch up with. I did not make good choices. Some were great, but some may not be around next week. 1) For All Mankind (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes I know you all don’t know me well enough to know I’ve been a fan since the very beginning, trying to convince people from the start to jump on board. I’m so glad that For All Mankind … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 31st

Not OK

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Hulu Audio Description Provided By: Descriptive Video Works As I sit here and write something for my blog, after having recorded a video for my YouTube, I realize this film that is trying to say something about the presence of social media in our lives has effected the way many of us interact and make choices in our regular lives. So, while I’m fairly certain this film will not be for everyone, I think it is actually trying to say something. What that something is, will be based largely around how Zoey Deutch’s performance resonates with … Continue reading Not OK

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 30th

John Stark

One of my shorter lists, but I did manage a few movies instead of a long list of shows. It’s a trade off. Makes ranking a bit easier. 1) The Orville (Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Yes This show doesn’t have the right to be this good. Seriously. The fact that it might end on Season 3 is bonkers to me, after watching them hit consecutive home runs on the first two episodes of the season. This one reminded me a bit of Event Horizon, with this ship in the middle of nowhere with no crew on board and just … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 30th

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 29th

John Stark

Only 5 shows today, making my rankings either more difficult or less. I’m going to go with less difficult, as I had a pretty clear winner today. 1) Girls5Eva (Peacock) English Audio Description? Yes I don’t think I’ve ever been so close to saying and being honest with the phrase “If you cancel this show, I will cancel your service.” Peacock just lacks the depth in their bench right now to even be making those kinds of judgment calls, and needs the handful of successful shows they actually have to start to establish an audience. With no audience, they will … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 29th

The Too Much tV Roundup- July 25th

John Stark

Normally, on a Monday, i would be praising Outer Range yet again. I finished that last week, so who made it to the top of this Monday’s chart? 1) Night Sky (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Something interesting is finally happening to the secondary storyline, as it becomes more clear that for some reason our Latinx family is here to hunt down Jude. But what really made this show work had nothing to do with the science fiction,and everything to do with the quiet work JK Simmons has been building on all season. Some absolutely heartbreaking work from him … Continue reading The Too Much tV Roundup- July 25th

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 24th

John Stark

I finally got around to starting a few new shows, as well as getting back into Evil (so I’m a little behind this season). But with the new shows, which one managed to top the list? 1) The Orville (Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Well, I rarely head with a spoiler warning, but we need to talk about this Season premiere. First, it’s been a minute since we’ve had the pleasure of the crew from The Orville after it moved to hulu. Covid delays and such. I’m actually surprised at the amount of people I know watching this. I … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 24th

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 22nd

John Stark

A new day brought some new shows to my list of currently watching programming. but were they any good, and did they make the top spot? 1( Rutherford Falls (Peacock) English Audio Description Available?: Yes When we last left this show, it looked like the town was about to turn into a living breathing tourist trap, with Nathan finding out he’s not really a Rutherford and driving off to parts unknown. It seems like he’s actually just been living in the attic “working on himself”, until he announces his reentry into society… at someone else’s birthday party. Same Nathan, new … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 22nd
