Finally—FINALLY--I'm going to get around to writing about those two TV shows you should check out.
But now I'm gonna make it three.
This all started earlier this week when I wrote about the never-ending stream of political commercials on the air- and streaming-waves, and how it'll be nice to watch something OTHER than those spots back to back to back (to back). I have a couple of international shows I've been watching recently to escape just that, and wanted to recommend them.
So now, I finally am.
The first is an Australian show on Paramount + called “Colin from Accounts”. It's a romantic comedy of sorts, about a couple of who find themselves taking care of a dog one of them runs over with a car after the other flashes him. It's funny, it's weird, and, like all comedies these days, it makes you squirm a little. But for such a show it has a surprisingly romantic heart, which is perhaps due to the fact that a husband and wife team created and writes it.
That's one.
The other show is a German police show available on PBS Passport called “Luna & Sophie”. Loraine and I decided to watch an episode just because it's set in Germany (and in German with subtitles); now, we're almost half way through the series. It's that good. Sure, each episode has a murder to solve, but that usually takes a back seat to the two lead characters, women who are best friends and partners on the force. One's single, one's (unhappily) married, and it's that part of the show that makes it so worthwhile. It's filled with humor and some biting social commentary, two things no one would ever suspect Germans of being good at, but trust me.
They are.
So, those are the two shows I keep meaning to recommend, should you want to avoid political commercials the next few days. But now I'm going to add a third--
The 46th season premiere of “High School Bowl” is coming up tomorrow night at 8 on WNMU-TV...hint hint.
Speaking of which, I have to go shoot another episode of it now, so I'll take my leave now. Have a great weekend...especially considering it's the last one you'll have to spend avoiding all those political ads!
