I more or less called this. The news TMNT movie will run into a series, and the voices of the turtles are young up-and-comers who will keep that part of the episode budget low. I expect a recast for Splinter, but all of the mutants might keep their name performers so long as they don’t regularly occur on the show.

One of my favourite cop shows, but for me it’s one of Prime’s “first episode free” bait-and-switch series.
Maybe it’s different elsewhere.

Maybe Netflix recommendations are getting better. It suggested the show Never Have I Ever, and the adults in the cast are hilarious. My faves are Niecy Nash and now Alexandra Billings! This might help me with withdrawal after watching The Peripheral.

I love Niecy, even in the “reality” stuff like Clean House.

Hulu just released season 3 of The Great “an occasionally true story” about Catherine, Empress of Russia. this is a wickedly funny telling of her and her rise in Russia it is also baudy, naughty and downright scandalous. the mum and i laugh so much! Peter II is uproariously funny and such a privileged manchild and Elle Fanning is perfect as Catherine. dialog is quick, sharp, very smartly written and delivered, it is easy to miss some pithy element from laughing at a previous quip.
worth a watch, but definitely watch the first two seasons, if you haven’t already!

In case anyone else found themselves ‘gifted’ a certain number of months of Peacock for free — something to do with my building’s contract with Xfinity — and have learned that it’ll be over by the end of the month, the only thing I found on Peacock that 1) wasn’t elsewhere as well, and 2) was absolutely worth watching is: “We Are Lady Parts”. If you haven’t seen it yet, use my deadline as a goad to pressure you into starting. Eight ~30-minute episodes, and you will not regret it.
I even find myself singing “Bashir with a good beard” in my head more often than seems likely for a woman of my generation.

Hulu is not available in Canada. I watched the first two seasons on Prime, but they’re pulling their usual trick of requiring an additional subscription for Season 3.

No one can tell me that the streaming landscape is not utterly and most stupidly broken… Did ANYONE like this show?

No idea… but it sucks for shows that people seem to enjoy, but maybe don’t immediately binge to get the boot (looking at you Netflix, with 1899) but shows that get immediately binged, but that no one seemed to enjoy get renewed…

At least they renewed Sandman…

They had a deal for two seasons from the beginning. Such deals are probably easily broken, but the viewership (because hate watching is still watching) likely wasn’t remarkably terrible.
I found it amusing enough at points. Not enough to consider a rewatch or to go out of my way to recommend it to anyone, but I got some laughs here and there. Reminded me of a bygone era of “edgy” 90’s cartoons.
