I get that it can't be on the fall schedule but that's no reason to drop it altogether. Damnit.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that's so annoying!

Although this way possibly someone else will pick it up?
I will admit, I don't really understand how anything is being produced these days and I imagine the whole scheduling and green lighting and whatnot process is in as much upheaval as everything else.

Problem with delays is that people have other commitments, e.g if Cobie committed to do a movie in 2021 hiatus that's still on, she wont be able to complete filming for the season

Did anyone watch Big Sky last night? I loved it and can’t wait for more.

Watched a couple of episodes of The Hardy Boys on Hulu. I’m liking it so far; it’s the kind of low-stakes entertainment I need right now.

What is even happening?
DH and I inhaled Big Sky (I think off sj's recommendation). I've really enjoyed it. The mid-winter finale left off on a frustrating cliff hanger.
We have watched the first handful of episodes of Prodigal Son on Hulu, which I guess is a FOX show (I'd thought it was AMC). That counts as a procedural, right? Has anyone else been watching? I really like Tom Payne, but I'd like to slip his character a bottle of Ativan sometimes.

He gets more annoying. I liked it at first, but he started getting on my nerves. I mostly kept watching just to see if the big mystery got resolved. And then I missed a bunch of eps and I didn't care.

What is even happening?
We've watched quite a few limited series recently, and I've sort of gotten used to the format of shorter seasons, so to realize we were in for 20-episode first season of Prodigal Son was a little jarring.
On one hand, it's nice to have some time before we choose what to watch next. On the other hand, we're six episodes in and I'm already impatient with certain plot points, like is the mom in on the woman in the trunk memory, or just trying to shield Malcolm? *
And then I missed a bunch of eps and I didn't care.
This happens to me more and more with TV series. I do better watching after a whole season has dropped or aired. We're not binge-watching Prodigal Son, though. It's a little too tense to be the last thing we watch at night, so it's just been an episode a night, so far.
Last night, we topped it off with ABC's A Million Little Things (which is not a procedural). I don't even know why we're watching that one anymore, except to talk trash about the characters. I don't think it's coming back until March, and I'm not sure the promise of more hate-watching will get us to tune in.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I binged-watched the first season of A Million Little Things and enjoyed it, but I was so annoyed with all the characters by the end of the first season, I'm not interested in watching any more.
