57 Channels and Only This Is On: May 1, 2025

 

MobLand:  Um, did Harry know the dinner was a set up.  He seemed way too calm.  Or is he looking for a way out of that crazy family and is ready to go work for the lady he did a favor to?  That seems like a much better business opportunity.

 

The Walking Dead: Dead City:  So, Hershel is in cahoots with the old lady?  What is going on there?  And just how did Negan figure out the walker was really a human?

 

The Last of Us:  I doubt that is what happens but I would be perfectly okay if Abby kills Ellie.  Such an annoying and stupid character.  But is next season really going to be season two but from Abby’s perspective?  On one hand, Kaitlyn Dever is a much actor.  But on the other, why not just do a ten-episode season that covers both perspective?  Now the creator says he will need four seasons to complete the story.  Ugg, did he not see the ratings nosedive this season?  Better wrap it up buddy.

 

The Librarians: The Next Chapter:  It took me a moment to realize when I remember the scientist from.  She was the evil dude’s daughter on The Head.  But this is the same entreatingly silly conceit of the original.  I wonder just how many original cast members we will see.

 

The Handmaid’s Tale: I know there is a spin-off they have to adhere to, but a little silly that the series ends with June still not being able to free her other daughter.  Something she has been actively doing since the second season.  I also was kind of lost with what was going on with Alexis Bledel.  But we got an uneven finale to a show that has been extremely uneven since the second season.

 

Leverage: Redemption:  Okay, that was one of the most elaborate cons they have come up with, and it was highly entertaining.

 

Hacks:  Last week felt like more of a season finale while this felt more like a season premiere.  I have a feeling next season will be flipped with Deborah supporting Ava on her comedy career.
