The Too Much TV Roundup- June 9th

John Stark

Well, this day was very different. I have an idea of how I want to rank certain programs, but there are two that I will not be ranking. The first, being the January 6th hearing that aired across most major networks. The second, will be explained below. Before we get to the rankings: Queer As Folk (Peacock) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In just a few days, as a resident of Orlando, the city beautiful will be commemorating the anniversary of the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub that took the lives of 49 individuals, almost all LGBT, who showed … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 9th

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 8th

John Stark

I was highly anticipating the new entries, but it ended up with the same predictable show on top anyway. 1) The Last Days of Ptolemy Gray (Apple Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes in the series finale, time is not on Ptolemy’s side. Still, it’s amazing that this miracle drug managed to give Ptolemy the kind of final closure he needed on his life so he could finally be at peace with himself, knowing that he left everything the way he wanted, instead of wondering what that nagging feeling was at the back of his mind. It’s a great performance … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 8th

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 7th

John Stark

Well, I have a couple of shows now with only one episode left that will be finished off next week I believe. Picking the top show today was difficult, as a couple of shows were firing on all cylinders. 1) Russian Doll (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In what I believe is the penultimate hour (possibly for the series), Nadia went through some really trippy stuff as she gave birth to herself, then decided to kidnap herself and bring her back to the future, only to find out that time seemed to be collapsing around her. But then her … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 7th

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 6th

John Stark

Gonna stop clogging up these lists with random reruns of old shows. Keeping it fresh, or at least relatively fresh. No one cares where I’m at in Cheers. Although, everybody does know my name there. 1) Bridgerton (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes I don’t know what this means for fans of Bridgerton that latched on during Season 1, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the first season. But, I really enjoyed season 2, and how they changed Anthony into a character we could actually root for, even after all his bullshit in Season 1. Not to mention, Kate … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 6th

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 4th

John Stark

I still feel like I’m trying to play catch up with all these damn TV shows. Today was a cluster of awesomeness though. I’m very happy with the majority of what I watched yesterday.Picking #1 was a challenge. 1) Stranger Things (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Choosing the 4th episode of the season to top my random assortment of shows watched yesterday was no small feat. There was a lot to love in several shows, but after leaving us in the lurch at the end of episode 3 with the fate of max, we got an episode that seemed … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 4th

The Too Much TV Roundup- January 2nd

John Stark

A day where I watched a lot of TV, but surprisingly none of it reached the top grade level. And at least one show has totally lost my interest. 1) Stranger Things (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes I don’t know what it says that the 3rd episode of the season, the slowest so far, and my least favorite, still managed to rank at the top of all the episodes. I watched a very odd batch of TV, most of it let me down in some way. That ending though. All I can say is, don’t you fucking dare. Don’t you … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- January 2nd

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 1st

John Stark

After having a day where I watched so many amazing shows, I followed it up with a day with so many really close to amazing shows. Not quite the same thing, but not every episode is created equal. 1) Woke (Hulu) English Audio Description: Yes Yeah, I didn’t expect Woke would ever be topping my daily watchlist either. But, after watching an episode where Keef, still reeling from being attacked for his lineage, hires a new publicist who has big dreams, including having Keef use his own organization to give himself an award for black excellence. So, Keef is giving … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 1st

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 31st

John Stark

Sometimes, you just pick a really good block of shows, and then your day of watching feels very well spent. Here’s a rundown of everything I watched yesterday. (Yes, everything. I didn’t watch a film yesterday). 1) Reacher (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Last week, I acknowledged I was one episode away from finishing this season, and I had to rank it in second then because it was up against a season finale. I said then that Reacher would be on top when I finished, and I kept my promise, despite putting it on the same day as the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 31st

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 28th

John Stark

So, this was a weird day for me. As I sit down and really think about the rankings, I realize that none of the episodes I watched were really deserving of an A grade. This might be the first day since I started doing the daily roundup that that is the case. And, the best things i did watch, didn’t have audio description. Welcome to my twilight zone. 1) Gaslit (Starz) English Audio Description Available?: No This Watergate drama continues to be compelling material. I almost gave this an A, except there are themes it picks up and drops, like … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 28th

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 27th

John Stark

Yesterday was a big day for TV shows. I only had one final Star Wars film to knock off the list, so i could finally dive into the long waited Obi Wan kenobi and Stranger Things debuts. But where did they end up on the list? 1) Stranger Things (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In the Season 4 premiere, the long awaited return was very much worth the wait. Even though it hasn’t been that long since the last time these kids were together, they’re now navigating high school and popularity contests, which you would think is easier than … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 27th

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 26th

John Stark

Somehow, in and around the movies, I’m still managing to knock out series. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. Lol. 1) Better Call Saul (Netflix/AMC) English Audio Description available?: Yes in the 7th episode of Season 5, jimmy and Kim worked toward a closure on their Green Table (aka Mesa Verde) plot, which led to not only a whopper of a gimmick from Saul Goodman, but in the episode’s B-Plot, mike worked to remove Lallo from the equation without personally linking himself to the events. So many actors deserve Emmy’s from this series. Episode Grade: A 2) … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 26th

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 25th

John Stark

Somehow around cramming all the Star Wars movies before Friday, I actually manage to squeez in a few TV shows. This was a pretty easy day in terms of ranking. 1) The Last Days of Ptolemy Gray (Apple Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes It’s official. I’m invested. I’m hooked. Episode 4 saw Ptolemy blowing everyone away with his lucidity, as he continues to try and use his last days to solve the murder of Reggie. I’m betting it was hilly. That kid is sketchyAF. Jackson is doing some great stuff here, but I need to also give a shoutout … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 25th

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 24th

Yesterday was definitely a much better day in terms of the quality of programming watched. Coming up with who gets the top spot was actually a challenge. 1) Julia (HBOMAX) English Audio Description Available: Yes Ultimately, I chose Julia, whose first season was a pleasant surprise on many levels. And since this was the season finale, and the other contenders for the top spot were not quite there yet, I landed on Julia, which will be returning for a second season. Sarah Lancashire needs to be a serious contender for a nomination this year, as well as David Hyde Pierce … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 24th

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 23rd

John Stark

Another weird day of television where there was a clear winner for the day, and not a huge amount of TV shows logged. 1) Bridgerton (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes in the season’s sixth episode, we dealt with a wedding, some actual character development for the Queen, and a sister finally taking charge of her own destiny. I think this season is overall written better than the first, but I’m sure that the audience that showed up for all of Season 1’s sexy fun time disagrees with me on the decidedly less naked season 2. In a very crowded … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 23rd
