56 Channels and Only This Is On: April 13, 2025

 

The White Lotus:  I subscribed to the monkey shootout theory mostly because the first two deaths were a bit silly and monkeys being involved was the only way there could be a silly death with that many gunshots.  It never really donned on me that we would get a Shakespearean ending on this show.  Sigh, of all the people they could have killed off, why Chelsea?  Chelsea on a friends’ trip could have made an interesting future season.  I am still holding out hope we get Portia back.

 

But it became clear that eight minutes was too long.  Just too many people on a holding pattern for most of the season.  Boyd Crowder was going to Bangkok, but took too many episodes actually get there.  Tim spent the middle episode just drugged up.  Belinda spent the first couple episodes waiting for her son to show up.  Piper goes to the monastery in the first episode and does not go back until much later.  Wild that Piper losing her virginity to Belinda’s son was cut from the finale.  That might have been the only interesting thing she did all season.

 

But as long as they keep putting attractive people in exotic locations I will still watch.  How about Anna Kendrick for season four?

 

The Last Anniversary:   That was a wild dinner party.  Though are they really going to do yet another incest storyline on television?  I just got done watching The White Lotus.

 

The Righteous Gemstones:  So all of Lori’s former paramours are dead or missing?  I wonder if she is some sort of femme fatale or if this is like the Peacock show Laid where her lady area is cursed?  The latter would be much more interesting.

 

The Hunting Party:  Does no one where protective vests?  If I had to carry gun, I am going to go with the assumption I have one because someone might be shooting at me.  And if someone might be shooting at me, I am wearing a vest. 

 

Daredevil: Born Again:  Um, why did they free Bullseye's hands?  They had him cuffed all season?  Why take them off just to treat him?  They could easily apply stitches with his hand restrained.

 

The Handmaid’s Tale:  Why even have Offred and Serena end the season on the same train if they are going to be separated before the end of the premiere?  But this may be the weirdest love triangle on television (well, unless the Ratcliff boys and Greg/Gary’s girlfriend count).  Offred has two baby daddies and seems to still love both of them.  Is she really going to end the series in New Bethlehem with Nick?  Then does Luke end up with Moira?  And will they end up in New Bethlehem too?  Then would they get split custody of Hannah?

 

The Challenge All Stars: Rivals:  Sigh, this show really does not need a two episode finale.

 

Survivor:  Finally we got rid of Sai.  Even better she will not be on the jury.   Then her friendemy went next I am sure to the delight of Mary.  But what becomes of Mary now?  We have this weird strong person alliance with one member with one foot out the door.  But if Kyle does not flip soon, it may be too late. But I fear the longer Eva has that Idol, the heavier that albatross becomes on her neck.  I feel like players with known Idols do not last very long.

 

Hacks:  This show is much better when Deborah and Eva are at odds.

 

Grosse Point Garden Society:  So why did it take so long for the new daddy to lose his job?  They seemed to drag that out a bit much.
