The latest episode of Batwoman tackled police racism and brutality in a much more hamfisted way than Kung Fu did, and then they had the nerve to end on a cliffhanger about Luke. Fuck! So now we gotta endure a hiatus and look forward to yet another episode about Crows violence. Thanks a lot! About the only good stuff was Mary confronting her dad about the Snakebite, and Sophie quitting the Crows. I was greatly displeased with Ocean killing Enigma and arguing about how Kate failed Alice. How fucking selfish is he that he doesn't see something wrong with the mere concept of Kate losing her identity, let alone being brainwashed to become the daughter of a psychotic criminal? You don't fucking care about consent and brainwashing after your own coerced mindwipe? Fuck you, Ocean, and your stupid-ass name. I hope you go back to Coryana and die a horrible death offscreen because I don't like any of you selfish islanders.
Meanwhile TV networks have been cancelling and renewing shows in preparation for the TV Upfronts. I'm glad Bob Hearts Abishola, Kung Fu, The Equalizer, and Home Economics got renewed. I'm mildly interested in a couple of pilots I hear about it, but the premises start to sound all the same after a while. Why all these strange high-concept shows and reboots? Why not a a simple mystery show with no psychics or ghosts or time-travel or aliens? I guess only Canada is making shows like the Frankie Drake Mysteries. The closest thing we have to light mysteries are the Psych movies every few years.
