the Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

You know the deal. It’s time for another top 10 shows from last week from me. I started watching a few new shows, but will they make it onto the top 10? 1) Black-ish (ABC/Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: On most episodes (from my experience). The Johnson’s bid us farewell last week, closing their door on a seven season Emmy nominated run, that launched two spinoffs. As we saw in the pilot, Dre came full circle in realizing that the strongest move he could make wasn’t to lift only his family up into an all white community, but rather to … Continue reading the Too Much TV Roundup

Here’s a roundup of everything I had an opportunity to watch last week, and the top ten shows I want to talk about, or recommend the most. As a reminder, there’s far too much TV for me to watch, so I’m perpetually behind, so some newer series I haven’t even started yet because I’m still trying to clear my list. you may be further behind or ahead of me. But I promise I consume a ton of media. 1) Moon knight (Disney Plus) Audio Description Available?: Yes Once again, moon Knight tops my list of shows I feel the immediate … Continue reading The Too Muchn TV Roundup

So, our girl Georgia becomes Joe, and signs up to go … Continue reading Fire heart

The Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

It’s time once again for the ten shows I watched last week that made me think one way or the other. As a reminder, I don’t binge watch, so I may be a bit behind on some streaming shows. Not all shows will have audio description either, but I will be denoting what does. Secondary note: The Peacock app is crap and I can barely get it to work, let alone activate audio description, so everything I watch on there is without audio description. Maybe someday… Without further adieu… 1) Murderville (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Yes, it took me … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup

Deep Water

John Stark

Starring: Ben Affleck, Ana de Armas, Tracy Letts, Kristen Connelly, Lil Rel Howrey, Dash Mihok, Finn Wittrock, and Rachel Blanchard. Directed By: Adrian Lyne Where I Watched It: Hulu English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: Vic (Affleck) is a wealthy man, who retired early after inventing a chip that made him a ton of money, and married a real firecracker (de Armas), with whom he also produced a daughter. But of course, this is an Adrian Lyne film, so the sexy angle here is that he lets his wife sleep around with other guys… or does he? What Works: … Continue reading Deep Water

The Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

Once again, I’m running down the list of the 10 shows I most want to talk about from the past week. Not all may have audio description available, but it will be noted. Not all of these are recommendations, and i don’t binge watch, so I might be in a different place than you in a streaming series. 1) The Shining Veil (STARZ) English Audio Description?: No Definitely a show I would love to have audio description for, because I thought the pilot was clever as hell. It’s obviously not made to be taken too seriously, but there’s a hint … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup

A day late and a dollar short. Changing up the format a bit. Previously, I just ran down the streaming services and picked a show. Now, I’ll just be doing the top 10 programs that hit me one way or the other in the last 7 days. Remember, I don’t binge watch. So, some of these might be a bit old, and you might already be done, or even behind where I’m at. Thanks to peak tV. 1) The Walking Dead (AMC/AMC Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Frustratingly, no. It’s always bothered me that this show doesn’t feature audio description … Continue reading The too Much TV Roundup

Fresh

John Stark

Starring: Daisy Edgar-Jones, Sebastian Stan, and Jojo T Gibbs. Directed by: Mimi Cave Where I Watched it: Hulu English Audio Description Available?: Yes The plot: I didn’t bother to watch a trailer for this, but even I could figure out what “unusual eating habits” meant. So, if you think this is a spoiler, you don’t watch enough movies. The film centers around a woman (Edgar-Jones) who is trying to navigate a seemingly awful dating scene when she encounters a charming man (Stan), who invites her away for a little trip on their second date, which is bad for her, because … Continue reading Fresh

You know the drill. There are a ton of streaming services, not to mention actual cable still exists, and it’s hard for one person to cover all my feelings about every single series I’m watching in their own individual post. So here’s a glance at what I watch (slowly, while not binge watching) when I’m not watching movies. Netflix: One of these days I’d like to write about All Of us Are Dead. I’ve heard good things, but I heard good things about Squid Game too back in the day, and tried to start watching that without audio description and … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup

The Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

Once again, a massive post giving you a glimpse of what I’m watching on TV, because one man doesn’t have the time to watch and review all the content I consume. Netflix: Starting off with a non-recommendation. After three episodes, I gave up on Stay Close. I was really excited for another Netflix adaptation from this author, as I enjoyed The Stranger from two years ago. But, even with the presence of Richard Armitage (who was also in The Stranger), Stay Close has done nothing but push me further away. It’s three and done. I don’t care how this limited … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup

Flee

John Stark

Documentary Directed by Jonas Poher Rasmussen Where i Watched it: Hulu English Audio Description Available?: Not At This Time The Review: Normally, I break my reviews into sections, but my unorthodox and limited ability to view and discuss the Oscar nominated Flee has left me looking for a new format in which to discuss things that affected my ability to enjoy the film, that are out of the control of the filmmaker. Hulu is currently the streaming rights holder to this documentary, and when it first premiered on the streaming service, it premiered without any audio tracks other than default, … Continue reading Flee

The Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

With all of the many platforms we have to watch television programs, from regular networks, to cable and premium channels, and a wide array of streaming channels, there has never been this much TV created for our own enjoyment. Starting this week, I plan to offer a glimpse into some of the shows I’m checking out, good or bad. I do not binge shows, so I might not be fully through a show whose entire season dropped at one point, and thanks to the tons of programs I do watch, I might “be behind”. I am watching a lot of … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup
