I suppose congratulations are in order for fans of FOX dramas Alert and The cleaning lady, as both underperforming shows got renewed. the sad thing is that a show like So Help Me Todd was outperforming these shows, but the bar is so much higher at CBS, so the Cleaning lady lives on despite being the least watched drama on FOX, but Todd gets axed.
We Were the Lucky Ones (Hulu) feels closer to ending, except Helena just got herself captured. So now we gotta get her out. Every time this ensemble gets any good news, one of them gets bad news to balance it out. Hulu also provided me with Life and Beth this week, which really kinda lacked in the audio description department for its 9th episode. I was a little confused about the trigger warning at the beginning, and how that translated into what I was picking up from the show. I feel like I missed something. I know I missed something when they were at the clinic, and the doctor walked into the room. I was confused about where the conversation was going, until the hijab was mentioned, which should have come in the audio description earlier. A sighted audience likely saw the doctor wearing it, and that puts me at a disadvantage.
I wrapped Ghosts (Paramount Plus) for the season. An interesting way to end the season, but not as dramatic as the previous season finale. This would be a very pleasant surprise at the Emmys this year, if it could snag a Best Comedy Series nomination.
I still can’t definitively tell you what A Man In Full (Netflix) is about after two episodes. i could give you a rundown, like a quick set up, but not really what I feel like is a plot. It feels like stuff is just happening, and I need more backstory, and coherent commitment to the structure of a linear story.
So Help Me Todd (Paramount Plus) had the gang trying to help save the reputation of a coach. I will miss this show.
