I’ve never seen a better representation of how I see myself in my head:

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

PLEASE RENEW DEPARTMENT Q, NETFLIX. DO IT ALREADY. And if you’re a fan of crime dramas, snarky detectives, Matthew Goode, or all of the above, GO WATCH IT THIS WEEKEND.

Having seen most of the series on this list, I agree that they are underloved gems that are worth your time, BUT ONLY AFTER YOU WATCH DEPARTMENT Q.

Guy Richie isn’t making the Road House sequel after all. 

The New York Times has discovered Tiny Chef. 

Hey, if you’re in London, there’s a whole immersive experience where Dexter chases you.

And if you’re in San Diego for Comic-Con, there will be fan experiences for Peacemaker and the upcoming It: Welcome to Derry.

Anthony Anderson’s Mama takes over ABC in this bit, and honestly, I’d be STOKED if she were the Golden Bachelorette (starts at about the 4 minute mark):

Conservatives keep going after the new Superman because James Gunn said he’s an immigrant (he’s LITERALLY an illegal alien), and honestly, it’s just so embarrassing.

Cracked has a dark theory that Lucy Ricardo was the daughter of a powerful mobster and had to go into the Witness Protection Program, and … it kinda makes sense?

The lawsuit against Sunny Hostin’s doctor husband has been withdrawn by the insurance company that filed it. 

Poor American Idol winner Scott McCreery lost both of his grandmothers on the same day.

Congratulations to Becca Tilley and Hayley Kiyoko!

  1. So I finally finished watching the three seasons of “From”, and I’m so glad to hear they’re working on Season 4 because it’s going to be a long wait. If you have the time, and you can take the horror and gore of it, it really is terrific. It clearly owes a lot to “Lost”, except that here I do feel like the showrunner knows where it’s going and knows how to get there. It’s got some big questions to answer (and it’s started giving out bits of information now) but it’s not just layering on more and more questions. It’s been deepening the questions it’s already got.

    “Dept Q” is on my list for the near future. I’ll let you know what I think.

    1. I love this show! I admit to watching some episodes during the day, long before the sun went down, ’cause … well, watch it and you’ll understand.
