All the TV That’s Fit to Stream
Quick Thoughts
I was thinking about including some news about the tv world up top, but given the strike includes both writers and actors there probably won’t be much going on except strike news…
Anyways, I also decided to include new trailers for things that aren’t coming out this week if you want to stay ahead of the curve a bit. I’ll include those below The Schedule moving forward.
Last Week
The Afterparty S2
Was able to catch the first two episodes from The Afterparty S2 and I can confidently say if you enjoyed the first season, you should enjoy this. A lot of the same. Still some dumb decisions here or there, but ultimately, it’s a place for a pretty great cast to just bounce jokes off of each other in some ridiculous situations.
Full Circle S1
Caught the first episode and… I’m not sure… Willing to give the next couple a shot, but there’s a lot happening and it’s shot in a very low-budget Soderbergh-y way, which can be off-putting at times given the street level tension happening. Definitely setting things up for some good intrigue as they will inevitably come full circle, but I’m not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze quite yet.
This Week
Command-Z (EXT765) — Now
Purchase | Trailer
So if you want some more Soderbergh, he released a web-series today that consists of 8 episodes starring Michael Cera, Roy Wood Jr., and others. It’s $7.99 to get the whole season through his website (all episodes available immediately), which was an instant purchase for me. I’ll report back on how it is next week.
Justified: City Primeval S1 (FX/Hulu) — July 18
Really excited for this one. The wife and I did a Justified and Deadwood binge a couple years ago so to have Justified return now feels like must watch tv for all of the Olyphans out there.
Minx S2 (Starz) — July 21
I believe this entire season was made before the move from Max to Starz was a thing, so I expect the quality to stay high here. Will be curious to see if they can gain enough traction on Starz to warrant a third season though. I’m hopeful because I really, really enjoyed season one. If you didn’t watch the first season and/or don’t have Starz, definitely fire up a trial and give it a shot; it’s well worth your time.
Special Ops: Lioness S1 (Paramount) — July 23
Can’t really say I’m excited for this one… Zoe Saldana is amazing, but army stuff just isn’t in my cup of tea. I’ll give the first episode or two a go since Paramount has been pretty off my radar and it’s about time I give something a chance…

New Trailers
How To With John Wilson S3 (Max)
28 July
The final season of How To… it’s a sad day… The WJTU (Weird John TV Universe) is losing an important member… I don’t know if Painting with John is going to get another season… but I hope so…
Ahsoka S1 (Disney)
23 August
Hoping this one reaches the peaks of Andor rather than the other Star Wars shows Disney has released so far.
Physical S3 (Apple)
2 August
The final season of Rose Byrne’s Physical… It’s never been the best show, but it’s been enjoyable the whole way through and Byrne has been absolutely great. Not many good Apple shows have reached their conclusions yet so it’ll be fun to see if they can pull this one off.
Lastly
That’s it for this week. I have a wedding that I will be traveling to Chicago for later this week so the schedule of newsletters will still be a bit choppy. Should be a week or two away from having that going full speed once again though!
As always, stay sane.
