finefoxyladiesHere are things I have been watching, and now that I have a new job, I have no one* to talk to about my stories:
1) This Fool (Hulu): I feel like I'm carrying around a curse for all the comedies I really love. America Auto: cancelled. Mr. Mayor: cancelled. The Other Two: I mean, they SAID it was ending where they meant it to end, but... come on. Anyway, this is all to say: I really hope there's a S3 of This Fool. It is funny and sometimes strange and it's about working class people, which you don't see much. I love that it's specific, and I love that there's always at least 3 very LOL moments in any given episode.
2) The Afterparty (Apple+): it's been fun... I was expecting the runaway performance to be from Zach Woods, but Paul Walter Hauser is taking this by a mile.
3) Reservation Dogs (Hulu/FX): One of the best shows ever; maaaaaybe in my Top 10.
4) What We Do in the Shadows (Hulu/FX): Nandor de Laurentis
5) Good Omens 2 (Prime): I watched it all in one weekend. It's fun enough, didn't quite reach the cohesive storytelling heights of S1, and thoughts and prayers to the folks who celebrate this as their fandom.
6) Jury Duty (uh, Freevee? Is a thing I guess?): it's making me laugh so so so hard, and I'm trying to slow down and savor it, and not blow through it like I did the new I Think You Should Leave. Comedies that are wild shit that makes me feel all spun around are rare.
7) Corporate (The 'Mount): I started watching this because a friend recommended it, and then I realized it was the exec producers of This Fool. I'm having a good time. RIP Lance Reddick.
8) Doctor Who (Prime): I've watched a few of the Tennant season eps; you know... it's fine. I think Doctor Who is another thing that I watch and enjoy, but it doesn't really trip my trigger.
9) The OFMD trailer still hasn't dropped because Max is run by literal sewer monsters. The other day they promoted the MOVIE CATS on their Instagram. Fucking bridge trolls.
*That's not true; Mel and I are watching Reservation Dogs and What We Do in the Shadows and discussing them in person and via text on the regular.
