In Case Of Emergency (Try Not To Make Things Worse For Yourself)

First day of December and here's a rundown of some of the shows I've been watching just of late.

911: Lone Star: With Season 2 slated to air in January, it's nice that SkyLiving finally have the first season done and dusted. Overall, it's been a decent spin-off. Not quite as 911 itself but it's definitely had a certain charm and it does feel like we've gotten a clean slate in regards to the Michelle and Iris subplot along with TK and Carlos getting closer. I'm not sure where they're going to go with Owen's illness next season (will they really kill him off?) but I'll definitely give the next season.

Schitt's Creek: Thanks to E4 relegating the show now to a terrible graveyard slot, I decided to watch the remaining half of the season online. It's taken me a while to really get into this show but I'm glad I stuck with it because now I can see the fuss behind it. The last few episodes had me in stitches with Moira's sister, Alexis and Mutt as well as David and Stevie and of course, Johnny's unsuccessful attempt to sell the town. Looks like I'm gonna be watching the rest of the series over the next few months.

The Boys: After the first season, I decided to wait a fortnight for some breathing space for the second season and now I've blitzed through the first four episodes of the second season. Four episodes in and this season is so much stronger than the first one. The addition of Stormfront has been fascinating and proves that if you think Homelander is bad, there really is someone capable of being worse. Other than that, we've had a delightful roadtrip with Hughie, Starlight and Mother's Milk, Kimiko reuniting and losing her brother so quickly as well as Frenchie trying to help and Maeve being outed on live telly. Weak elements though would include Billy and Becca as well as the Deep getting roped into a cult and A-Train just being generally awful/ Still, a great batch of episodes.

The Flight Attendant: HBO Max seem to have the strangest of strategies with the release of this eight part miniseries as they seem determined to get it out of the way before Christmas. They really should've started this earlier then. Anyways, the first three episodes of this miniseries sees Kaley Cuoco's alcoholic flight attendant Cassandra getting way in over her head following the death of well connected hook up, Alex. Throughout the episodes, there's intriguing enough flashbacks as Cassandra tries to remember the fateful night while the supporting cast are also pretty strong, including lawyer, Annie (Zosie Mamet) and the rather deadly Miranda Croft (Michelle Gomez). The show is arguably more bonkers than gritty though but that's a good thing.
