They finally did something more with Dr. Park in the Scrubs finale! Hopefully he'll become a regular if there is another season of this. I really hope there will be. This revival was so good and I'm happy that it didn't end on a sad note. I feel like they added several things for another season that are not bad cliffhangers, like a love interest for JD.

I caught up on Daredevil: Born Again S2. I think it's better than the first season which was a bit all over the place tonally. S2 feels more like the Netflix show again.

Although I feel like my eyes rolled out of my head when it was revealed that Matt and Karen are a thing. I love both characters, but I absolutely hate them together as romantic couple. Matt had such great chemistry will all of his other love interests, but I can't see it with this pairing. Karen has decent chemistry with Frank (I'm not sure I ship, I get it though) and I honestly thought she would have worked with Foggy.
I'm not sure how much of Bullseye was in the promo, so I'm putting this here. I'm so, so happy that they brought Wilson Bethel back properly. I remember how excited I was at the end of S3 of the Netflix show for what a fourth season could look like. I thought he was such a good antagonist back then and I wish we got Daredevil vs. Bullseye without Fisk, at least for a bit.

Next week I'll probably start The Boys, now that I'm caught up on everything.

I'm a bit behind on viewing but am looking forward to seeing these.

Didn't watch any new TV this week, just Law & Order reruns and Golden Girls. That's how hospital TV be sometimes 'cause it's the boring shit only I appear to like (or maybe the older patients I sometimes watch over).

Heh, hospital TV!

Speaking of, I didn't watch very much this week either. Part of this is because my partner was busy and partly because I was feeling sick for two days and didn't watch any TV as it seemed to increase a sense of vertigo.

I watched my regulars, Jeopardy, Daily Show, Colbert. Also saw a few more episodes of Star Wars: Visions S3, and High Potential. And we started S3 of Cobra, which I've so far found as well done as previous seasons.

Otherwise it was some nature specials like Animal Friends, and tried out a new show about Wildlife Rescue Centers. I also watched both episodes of Lucy Worsley Investigates the American Revolution, which had some interesting details in it but on the whole wasn't that revealing. This may especially be the case since I have almost finished a series on Thomas Jefferson which does a good job looking at the complete hypocrisy of what he wrote about freedom and his actual practice of slavery, passing up every opportunity to change this on his plantation and personal life (plus his racism in how he evaluated intelligence among races).

I'm also most of the way through Tron: Ares.

Absolute Value of Love (K-drama): It starts with the FL introducing herself as a BL web novel writer. She then fantasizes randomly about four male neighbors who turn out to be the new teachers at her girls' school. Naturally, she immediately becomes enemies with her icy math teacher, who is her new homeroom teacher. Crazy setup. :DDD

Beef: This season reminds me a little of The White Lotus with the major difference that it isn't such a bore (YMMV).

The Boys: Only watched 20 minutes of the newest episode, then I lost interest.

The Other Bennet Sister: This is a show about Mary Bennet discovering her own happiness after the events of Pride and Prejudice. Very sweet and charming if you can get over the Bennet family drama at the start.

Seeking Persephone: Watched two episodes. Sadly, it just didn't hold my attention.

Ha! The Guardian review headline was "the best show on TV becomes an unlovable White Lotus rip-off!"
