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 3rd

John Stark

Well, I had to squeeze Lightyear in here as well, so, 5 shows is it for this day. 1) Shining Girls (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes I cannot stress my love for this show. I was actually having moments in this 7th episode where I was so personally invested in fictitious characters that I was doing that whole “talking to them through the TV”. I really wanted Kirby to slap the shit out of Marcus. I mean, she went out on a limb and trusted this guy, who basically thinks she’s nuts and got her fired, and then tried … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 3rd

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 27th

A pretty stacked day of TV shows. At least one show that has topped the list every time out. Did it manage to retain its top spot again? 1) Shining Girls (Apple Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Yes. yes it did. Even though when i realized what was happening, and that I was learning the backstory to the Thin Man (as well as his name), I wasn’t 100% sure I wanted this to happen. There’s a mystery and intrigue I love about the show, and I know that it has to all be explained somehow, but a full episode … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 27th

The Too Much TV roundup- July 21st

It was a day. A day of wonder. And another prime time hearing that would be silly to rank. Fun, but silly. 1) Shining Girls (Apple Plus) English Audio Description Available: Yes If you’ve been following my posts at all, you know my love for Shining Girls knows no bounds. It is some truly original, gripping, freaky television. In this episode, The Thin Man confronts openly, like a total creep, his next likely victim. But, Kirby seems to have figured out that he’s been stopping in to this long term care facility to see this guy, who she does get … Continue reading The Too Much TV roundup- July 21st

The Too much TV Roundup- July 15th

I prioritized some film watching today over cramming TV shows, so this list is shorter than usual. 1) Shining Girls (Apple Plus) English Audio Description: Yes Every once in a while, a show comes along that isn’t just good in that way that qualifies it for a top spot, or makes me feel good because it’s a returning favorite. No, it comes out of nowhere, from a title I had zero expectations for, and that is what Shining Girls gives me every week. Astounding. Beautiful. Scary. Weird. Provocative. It’s everything every week. This has to be one of the oddest … Continue reading The Too much TV Roundup- July 15th

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 9th

John Stark

Welcome back to the roundup. Not a big list of shows for the day, but a pretty solid one. 1) Shining Girls (Apple Plus) English Audio Description: Yes I vote this series most likely to make you go “WTF” and make your skin crawl in the same episode. A fascinating piece of work from Apple, really unlike anything else on right now. It would be easy to write this off as a standard crime solving TV series, but Kirby breaking with reality every episode really does put a twist on things. And, the narration does a great job of following … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 9th

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 2nd

John Stark

No more running up that hill. At least, not until the final season of Stranger Things drops, which I’m assuming is a two year wait. 1) Stranger Things (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Yes, I finished. 2:22 later. Sweet baby Jesus. That was a long episode. And honestly, for all the hoopla online about who was going to die, based on some rumors that death was upon us, I felt underwhelmed. But, jsut as I did with Dr Strange, I separated the episode itself from the hype machine around it, and looked at it for what it was. An … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 2nd

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 26th

John Stark

A near perfect day of TV show watching. If only The Offer could nail those impressions. 1) Girls5Eva (Peacock) English Audio description Available?: Yes The Girls take on different challenges, but what gets served up most is now that Summer is single again, her parents are rolling back into town to protect her purity. But, when she learns her parents haven’t always been so… pure, will she keep her pledge? Episode Grade: A 2) Undone (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes I really enjoyed Season 1, and I just assumed I’d never see it again. Then Amazon stuck with this … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 26th
