While it doesn’t have audio description, I just need to mention that I doing think Teresa Giudice listens to music. Ever. She managed to earn 10K for her charity just by standing there on Name That Tune, despite not being able to name a tune. Even the one that was a TV show theme song from her generation, and not her competition, she couldn’t figure out. It was really silly to watch David essentially win the whole thing, but his final guess didn’t count. I think he still had some new scoring record. I love that Jane Krakowski says that people go on to the finals for a chance to win 100K for their charity, but David didn’t even get all 7 songs, and still made over 100K for his charity. If he had finished the round, would he have lost that extra 4K and walked away with less, earning the grand prize of 100K?

One Day (Netflix) as a show isn’t really grabbing me. We are two episodes in, and the pair we spent time with in the first episode, is kinda apart in the second. But, it’s not like the first episode got me deeply invested in their relationship. Honestly, he seems like kind of a brat and I think she can do better. The audio description was fine. There was a moment I wanted to bring up, that I thought was good, and I’ve forgotten it. So kudos for whatever that was. Ha.

I’m now one episode away from the finale of Criminal Record (Apple Plus), which has excellent audio description, as the corrupt cop basically spills the secrets of how he got Errol to admit. It’s pretty obvious Errol didn’t do it. We will see what happens in the finale.

I did finish True Detective: Night Country (MAX), and I don’t know why the shows creator is so damn critical. This was the first season I was really engaged.Both lead performers deserve Emmy nominations. The audio description, with a huge shoutout to Ms. Alexander, was at the highest caliber. Only six episodes. Nice and sweet.

That’s actually it for me, leaving out non-audio described content.
