Yeah, I’m running late with this.  That seems to be the theme of my life this weekend but no matter!  Here it is, my week in television.

American Murder: Gabby Petito (Netflix)

Netflix’s Gabby Petito documentary didn’t necessarily tell me anything that I didn’t already know about that tragic and awful case.  Indeed, I kind of found myself getting angry at the documentary as I watched the endless footage of Gabby because it reminded me that Gabby Petito — and every other crime victim — deserved more than to be the latest subject of America’s fascinating with the morbid and the sordid.  (Of course, it’s hypocritical of me to judge as I was the one watching the documentary.)  But, in the end, I did feel that the documentary made an important point.  There were so many red flags about Brian Laundrie but no one wanted to admit it, not the cops and not Gabby’s friends. Gabby was failed by so many people.

Up until I saw this documentary, I was not convinced that Brian’s family really knew the full extent of his crimes.  Now, I’m convinced that they not only knew but tried to help him cover them up.  It’s infuriating.

Check it Out! (Tubi)

I reviewed Check It Out! here.  I’ll soon be finished with this show and I have to admit that I’m kind of proud of being the only person to have actually sat down and reviewed every single episode.

CHiPs (Prime)

Dark (Netflix)

Case and I have now started the third and final season of this creepy German show.  It’s all about time travel, black holes, and people having nonstop sex without any emotional connection.  The architecture is brutalist, the cinematography is dark, and everyone seems to be fairly depressed.  It’s very German and very intriguing.

Fantasy Island (DVR)

Friday the 13th: The Series (YouTube)

Kitchen Nightmares (Tuesday Evening, Fox)

Chef Ramsay was back in New Orleans, helping out another surprisingly ugly restaurant.  Seriously, how can a restaurant succeed when it looks like a trailer?  Again, a former football player was brought in to provide emotional encouragement.  I will undoubtedly find myself in New Orleans in the future but I’ll probably never eat there.

The Love Boat (Paramount+)

Pacific Blue (Tubi)

Scamanada (Hulu)

I finished up Scamanda this week, watching the final two episodes.  For all the build-up, the finale was a bit disappointing.  Amanda was arrested and convicted and then, for 30 minutes, we listened to a bunch of podcast hosts talk about how they came across the story and went viral with it.  I love true crime documentaries but true crime podcast hosts are always so annoying and self-important.

St. Elsewhere (Hulu)

Welcome Back, Kotter (Prime)

I’m nearly done with this show, thank God.  I reviewed the latest episode here!
