57 Channels and Only This is On: June 6, 2021

 

 Mare of Easttown:  Well that suffered from one too twists.  Not to mention really obvious when the case gets solved with almost an hour left there is another one coming.  Sad thing is, the fake ending made more sense than the real one.  So the old dude waited until his very nice pizza slicer and Eagles Championship Cup went missing to mention someone stole his gun the very night someone was murdered and was returned sans two bullets?  That and the ex-boyfriend threatening the friend at gunpoint which went nowhere the next episode kind of puts a damper on a strong season.

 

Cruel Summer:  Aww, nineties technology.  Martin rewound the tape multiple times and it took until the third one for me to finally see Kate in the window… I think, maybe it was Annabelle.  But kind of a stupid reveal of what happened to the football player that the he blamed Jeanette for.  Unless that was not it?  The bartender said they do not employ people with a record.  I thought maybe he was going to take the fall for Jamie, claiming he was driving since Jamie was drunk, but that did not happen.  Maybe she did something that helped him get that record.

 

The Handmaid’s Tale:  Um, so why after daily protests, were the Waterford’s met with cheers all of the sudden?  Were people that happy Gilead was producing children that they could forgive all the rape and slavery?  But poor One Eyed Willie, back under the thumb of Aunt Lydia. 

 

The Challenge: All-Stars:  Pretty lame they only invited the finalist (but Beth instead of Aneesa for some reason).  I understand we are still in a pandemic, but at least let people come in via Zoom.  It is a shame as much as Kendal and Alton got mentioned; they could not defend or explain themselves.

 

The Blacklist:  Aw, man.  They brought back the cage only for Red to steal it.  But were they implying at the end that the woman that Red killed was not actually Lizzy’s mom?
