The TV thread

Jury Duty on Freevee was a lot of fun. It’s about a trial where every person but one is an actor and in on the bit.
There are eight 30-minute episodes. It was really well done, although if you are familiar with the law, you’ll have to forgive the missteps of how a trial is actually conducted.

 

Just wrapped up Poker Face. Great season and as a huge Burn Notice fan, loved its references.

 

Silo- read the book; great cast. I’m hopeful

 

Finished six. Very disconcerting seeing them make some of the actresses look so awful -- Judith Light, Ellen Barkin. They are almost scary.

 

It was excellent. Also when Susie cried, I cried.

I think this was about the highest concentration of Gilmore Girls alums in the entire Maisel run.

Susie's sister is played by Francie, the Chilton Mean Girl
The roast emcee, was of course, Kirk
In an interesting turn, one of the roast comics and other narrator was Danny Strong, who played Doyle (and is rumored to have a feud with Amy Sherman-Palladino)

 

Lucky Hank again confusing being clever with being funny.

 

Could Lucky Hank find a point or tone? Seems like a lot of smart people are making an awful show.

 

Firefly Lane is back! I thought it was all done… but then another “half season” just drops.

Katherine Heigl’s smile makes the world better.

 

Jury Duty was really fun. James Marsden was a hoot.

 

Ted McGinley’s character Derek in “Shrinking” is my favorite minor character of a show in years.

 

“Eat a dick, Pam” was the funniest line of the show.

 

Being, like, 100 days away from retirement is such a great way to frame the mindset of a character. It’s all you have know about him.
