Distractions

I don't know about you all, but the last several weeks (year+) have been rough.  I've really needed to escape from this country's current events each evening, trying to bury my head in streaming television sand. 

I just started S6 of Supernatural and I must admit that I dozed off now and again towards the end of S5.  Just like with The X-Files, I prefer monster-of-the-week episodes to mythology-arc ones and the back half of S5 was rather light on standalones. I also plowed through the newest Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt episodes: reliably weird and funny (especially Titus), although the show is hitting its hot button topics a little harder this time.  I've also seen the first two episodes of Cloak and Dagger (on Freeform): I like it, but they need to get their two leads together.  I may have to check out the comics source material.

To change genres entirely, I'm nearly through S1 of the Queer Eye reboot and I just love it, am in tears nearly every episode.  The guys bring kindness, hope and support with them and we just need so much of that right now.

Finally, I'm revisiting Dark Angel on DVD, Jessica Alba's debut vehicle.  To be honest, the show hasn't aged that well since 2000, although there is a marked improvement from the pilot to the next couple of episodes.  Still, when you're in need of a kickass sci-fi heroine in black leather, you take what you can get.

And best of all, Luke Cage S2 coming very soon - woohoo!!!
