chuckroBrooklyn Nine-Nine (TV Series, Season 5) - Overall, it was more of the same, but the same is still quite good. Didn’t love the prison plotline and was glad to see it gone. Likewise, I’ve never been wild about Pimento and I was glad he was absent for most of the season. They hit all of the annual gag episodes, though they did seem to try to make a twist out of them: The Halloween heist ended with a proposal, the Doug Judy episode was a new variation, etc. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t seen four-drink, five-drink and six-drink Amy at her bachelor party. Jake and Amy’s wedding planning was delightful, though. And yes, I appreciated Rosa’s storyline.
The Good Place (TV Series, Season 2) - Like the first season, I binge-watched this all in a few days, and continued to find it delightful. It lacks some of the surprise of the first season, but they do a decent job of keeping things fresh and moving from episode to episode. Great lines, full of wit, ends well, highly recommended.
The Hollow (Netflix, Season 1) - Three teenagers wake up in a locked room with no memories. They discover they’re in a strange world and have magical powers, but mostly get tossed from trope to trope over the course of ten episodes. I’m not going to spoil the twist, but I thought it was decently done. I am somewhat annoyed that the mysterious blind man teased that Adam had more powers, but that never actually came of anything. Nothing here is treading brilliant new ground, but it’s moderately fun.
