Daryl Dixon- Season Finale, so look for a full review soon.

Ghosts- What had happened was… last season Jay accidentally sold his soul, and rather than let that play out all season, they wrap that up pretty quickly, and while jay doesn’t exit the show, a ghost does. But which one?

the Chosen Adventures- I haven’t seen the live action show, though I have it on a broader list of things to do when I have more time to hear the AD. I’ll take this animated kids entry which has these little short episodes about faith. It’s cute, well made, and at least the first episode is charming and harmless. I’d show that to my kid, even if church wasn’t a part of their life. Sure, Jesus is a character, but he’s still just a carpenter here, and the protagonist is this little girl who has lots of questions like why did God make wasps, and what does “thou shalt not” mean. The audio description was fine. Let’s see how many episodes I can watch of yet another show aimed at kids.

Dexter- Dex chases down the location finally, and knows where the kill room is, but has to blow off dinner with Deb. He will come to regret these choices.

Have I got News For You- Some solid jokes. Same old stuff.

The Morning Show- Bradley and Corey have… a talk. But the real star of this episode was Kris, who had to face the right wing talking head and a former friend who accused her of doping. However, this is what happens when you only know a fraction of the story, and Kris definitely has a moment.

The Paper- Turns out corporate daddy is the reason the sewers are clogged, as their flushable wipes aren’t so flushable after all. I do enjoy this track, but it does have a hard time navigating some scenes where the dialog never stops. Not a fult of the AD, but the structure of the show.
