What are you watching???

Food Network is a VERY different experience in the UK than the US.

This Mystery Diner show, all the accents are American but I have never seen it on American Food Network. An American produced show that apparently only has audience outside America.
 
Supergirl tonight, though I may give up on it. Like Jesse Rath in Defiance, but "Brainy" isn't, nor is he a real character. Mon-El was a strange character but he was at least someone for Kara to actually interact with, in a less rote mutual admiration society way that is.

God Friended Me was too blatantly supernatural to be tolerable. Manifest tomorrow is likely going to end up being nonsense either ignored, or ineffectively excused by blather about different factions. But it has what is dramatically speaking a cuckold as the male lead, which is so novel it's keeping my attention. But then I actually like watching anti-heroes. (Yes, including Danny Rand.)

Flash I'll be watching live Tuesday because the Series preempts The Gifted. The big bad is a villain who by every canon of reason and common sense should be left to the police which wrongfoots the entire season. Well, seasons in TV series are like sequels in the movie, and the sequels are never as good. (Yes, not literally never, but no, most of the supposed exceptions aren't, sorry, my opinion.) The Gifted apparently freaked itself out with an actual series changing climax to the first season and is desperately trying to ret-con everything into trivial black-and-white family values twaddle. I will continue to root for the revolutionary types the show is blackening as hard as it can.

Midnight, Texas isn't actually good but somehow I'm finding enough characters watchable. The problem with supernatural jeopardy is that it's all arbitrary. If it used big words, people would notice it's functionally technobabble.It's escaping the summer ghetto this Friday.

On streaming, Maniac is slow going so far. Will try for Haunting of Hill House, especially since I don't remember anything but the sexual panic of the movie.
 
Tonight: YOU (on Lifetime) and maybe SUPERGIRL or CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND if I can find the time.

(I'm also recording DOCTOR WHO and the 1959 Hammer Films remake of THE MUMMY, with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.)
 
Been binging my way through Daredevil Season 3. Very well done, IMHO. Should wrap it up tonight.

Last week (or so) I went through the entire season 3 of Man in the High Castle. Absolutely brilliant show, loved it

Q2
 
Arrow starts here tonight, but I should just be able to finish Daredevil first.

I think Seal Team is also back.
 
UEFA Champions League, but via Live Ticker online, as I refuse to sign on for Pay TV or streaming services (DAZN or whatever).
 
Last night:

Bob's Burgers 9x04 - Nightmare on Ocean Avenue Street
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Ash vs. Evil Dead 3x02 - Booth Three
