Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Will there be a second season of Adolescence? Probably — Netflix isn’t one to leave money on the table, after all. But if there is one, anticipate it being a whole new story and cast of characters.
I finally binged it yesterday, and can confirm that Adolescence is one of the best shows of the year. Yes, it’s only March, but I’m calling it now: this series is going to win most of the limited series Emmys. This Collider piece outlines the six reasons why the show is so good, and I couldn’t agree more that the third episode is one of the best episodes of television I’ve ever seen. It’s going to stay with me for a long while.
The restaurant will be decorated as it would have been in the mid-2000s with old signs and chalkboard art. It will also feature direct nods to the show’s fictitious paper company, Dunder Mifflin. In one episode, Scott, played by Steve Carell, orders an awesome blossom — a deep-fried onion with a cheese dipping sauce — while trying to win a new client over lunch at Chili’s. That item, long struck from the Chili’s menu nationwide, is being reintroduced in the Scranton-area restaurant only.
In another universe somewhere, there are spinoff series for Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy.
Lisa Rinna is blaming you for being fired from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Yes, you.
Bringing two universes together:

Sundance Film Festival is moving to Boulder, Colorado.
This isn’t TV related but don’t care: Yolanda Saldivar was denied parole; which, honestly, Yolanda, it’s in your best interest to stay behind bars.
