The Too Much TV Roundup- July 23rd

John Stark

Literally, the shortest list I’ve done so far. There’s actually almost no point to this list. That’s how sad it was. I was away from my television most of the day, obviously. 1) The Essex Serpent (Apple Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In the 4th episode, I wanted to like this series more. Tom hiddleston seems really committed to not being Loki. Claire Danes is all about… something. There are things happening here that you could like. And it’s entirely possible that the entire point of this series is to showcase how entirely stupid people actually are. But, unlike … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 23rd

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 17th

It seems like a lot of TV until you realize how many of these are actually half hour shows. 1) Girls5Eva (Peacock) English Audio Description Available?: Yes It takes a lot to dethrone my pick for Best Comedy, something that manages to elude Emmy voters (probably because it’s on Peacock). In the 7th episode, Wiki fell for a Lunch lord who she thought would be her basic whisperer and teach her the ways common folk think. Add to that an always a welcome appearance by Andrew Rannells, and a song that was basically just the girls asking each other if … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 17th

Started to take a look at a new game show today. Ooof. Wait for my thoughts on that dumpster fire. 1) The Boys (Amazon) English AudioD description Available?: Yes Duh. Of course the season finale was going to make my top slot. RIP (Spoiler). What a way to finish an insane season. I can’t wait to see where this show is headed next year. It’s truly a shame that some of these actors can’t ever possibly get recognized for their work at the Emmy’s because there’s really no category for this show. Sure, it was nominated in drama… but is … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 8th

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 3rd

Do you ever feel like yesterday was so far away and you’re struggling to remember what you did? One of those mornings, I guess. I started a few shows yesterday. How did they stack up? 1) Only Murders In The Building (Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Yes The season premiere really set out to remind us that this show is very aware of itself, becoming quite meta. How does one continue into a second season of a podcast like this show? What if Amy Schumer wanted to adapt your story in an 8-10 episode limited series? What if you became … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 3rd

I have nothing snarky to start this post today. Really. I don’t. 1) Hacks (HBo MAX) English Audio Description Available?: Yes This show is continued brilliance. This episode saw the gang at a state fair, and I don’t know which moment was funnier. Seeing Ava choke on one vitamin, or her comment about the 800 dollar pair of shoes that she knew would help get that Susan lady some serious commission. Great episode. Episode Grade: A 2) Breeders (FX/hulu) English Audio Description Available?: No I need to sit down in a room with the Emmy voters. We have to talk … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 26th

I definitely watched too much TV on a rainy Saturday. 1) Gaslit (Starz) English Audio Description Available?: No I hate to put. Shows that don’t have audio description on top, but there was no denying the penultimate hour of Gaslit, which should serve as a For Your Consideration reel for the series two leads, Julia Roberts and Sean Penn, whose marriage finally comes to a screeching halt as secrets are revealed, and things are said that can’t be unsaid. Robert’s performance in this series is brilliance, but Penn brings a new raging fire to Mitchell, attacking for dominance. He’s scary … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 18th

I’m too intimidated by Homelander to rank these shows any other way. 1) The Boys (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In the fourth episode, the stakes are raised. Homelander is becoming the biggest problem he’s been since the show started, making him an obvious choice for a final battle at the end of the season. Maybe Homelander won’t make it out of Season 3. But if he has to go, what could possibly replace him? Episode Grade: A 2) Roar (Apple Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In the second outing, which dealt with memory loss, what could have … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 11th

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
