Just watched a great documentary on PBS about the single greatest show of my childhood: "What's the Story, Wishbone?"
It went in depth on how the show came about and how they somehow pulled off the greatest programming ever and how PBS boxed them in causing them to be cancelled.

Finished The Boys.
Hated the finale, with reservations. Then I read about the finale of the actual comic series and hated that even more.
Huey and Starlight were always destined to walk away together in a parody within a parody, where the show ends by subverting itself and becomes the very mawkish jackwagon low effort mouthbreather turd sandwich it skewers throughout. Not for nothing is the final song Piano Man. I called it from the start and Kripke didn't disappoint, savaging his own audience somewhat like Killing Eve did (although KE did it much more viciously).
Butcher's killing of Homelander is interesting since it parallels the killing of Black Noir in the comic, where BN is the true rapist of Becky and also the coup leader against the US President (Homelander was just set up).
The whole Christ business of the final season cheapened what they were doing with Dump so let's just pass over that as a poor choice.
Frenchy's death was very dumb; I would have killed her and had him live with the pain.
A Train was AFAIK an entirely original character for the TV series and excellent. The Deep is probably the best character of the entire universe.
The Elmo nod was short and sweet and don't you wish he could go down that way IRL.
Given the choice I'd have killed Starlight and saved Queen Mauve, but nobody asked me.
At its best it was a great therapeutic show, and though S5 blew it still gave us a lot and I very much thank Kripke for doing it. RIP

The Vampire Lestat, a.k.a. Interview with a Vampire S3.
Pilot was one of the best episodes in TV history. Fantastic writing, filming, editing, and direction. Give it every Emmy.
This is what TV should begin as, before it becomes more obscure.
I love that the fracturing of media has fostered shows which, for the first time in history, do not talk down to intelligent people. This truly is the golden age of TV -- you can survive and even thrive by just appealing to a splinter of a demographic. God knows why Hollywood is mired in the obsolete derp model.

He fixes the cable?
I have a lot of friends that have said, “Ugh, I’m still tired of vampires.” and I’ve responded with, “I get that, this might actually be good though.”

Lucy Worsley Investigates: The American Revolution.
It came out on PBS the first 2 weeks (2 episodes) of April and I can't believe I missed them. I've always enjoyed her stories and PBS is running them again. Watched the first episode last night, highly recommend, and can't wait to see the second one.

Never graduate.

I suggest Perfect Match. 2x the trash, 1/2 the runtime.
