What is even happening?

Similarly... I was watching Marvel's What If... and in Episode 4 someone says "__________ is here, __________ is there..." and started singing "__________ is every-fucking-where" and I'll bet I'm not alone in that.

Trudy, the Roy Kent song constantly plays in my brain. It's an earworm I enjoy, though.

I feel a lot like you did (except the marrying part) about Sudeikis. He registered as an SNL white boy, and no more, although it took Ted Lasso for me to see him as more.

Leverage: Redemption

Just finished watching the series. I enjoyed it. Pretty light, pretty fun, some good lines.

I'm not sure how I feel about how they left Eliot and Maria's story.

Trent Crimm The Independent made some serious eyes at Ted in their last scene together in the finale.

Only Murders in the Building

Watched the finale. It was okay. A pretty thorough wrap-up. Some smiles, no laughs, no shocks. Meh.

However, the twist at the very end got me.

It did its job -- now I'm wondering if they will get a second season.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

And got so flustered that he locked his keys in his car.

What We Do in the Shadows: I was not expecting that at all! Dang.

Did anyone else check out FX on Hulu's Y Is Yorick the Last Man? Okay, technically, it's called, Y: The Last Man, and is based on the comic book series of the same name, in which (premise spoiler) something happens that kills off all mammals with a Y chromosome, except the title character and his capuchin monkey, Ampersand. *

It was cancelled a couple of weeks ago (but they're still releasing the rest of it — the season one finale drops next week).

I'm wondering what people think of it. I wanted to like it so much, but it didn't work for me. Each week, I keep telling myself that it will come together any minute, but it just hasn't. It's a shame, because the premise is interesting and it has a pretty good cast. The showrunner said they're shopping it around, but I can't imagine it will get picked up. I don't even really think it should.

I was kind of vaguely thinking I wanted to watch that because I think Charlie Jane Anders was writing for it but I haven't gotten around to it and there are higher priority shows in front of it in the queue

I have held on to my grudge against (and boycott of) Netflix for over two decades. This might be the show that makes me give it up.
