I watched the Oscars on March 2nd.  I originally intended to watch it on Hulu but Hulu struggled, just as Netflix did during its first time out, with streaming such a large event and I ended up just watching the ceremony on boring old ABC.  I liked the Oscars this time around.  Conan O’Brien was a good host.  The politics were kept to a minimum.  The ceremony moved along efficiently and it was hard not to get caught up in Sean Baker’s enthusiasm.  I cheered when Flow won.  I groaned when the Best Documentary winners started their long ramble.  The ceremony felt like a throwback to the old Oscars.  The ratings were not good, regardless of how they’ve been spun.  Eventually, the Oscars will be something that will be exclusively streamed on Hulu and that’s it.  Hopefully, Hulu will get the bugs out of the system before next year.

Before I watched the Oscars, I watched Devil In The Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke, the latest creepy true crime docuseries on Hulu.  I watched as Ruby went from a successful mommy vlogger to a convicted felon.  Interestingly, most of the people hurt by Ruby went on to become influencers themselves.  The docuseries was an intense look at just how crazy people can get in a world where everyone is famous.

Also on Sunday, I watched Gordon Ramsay rescue a gastropub on Kitchen Nightmares.  Come Thursday, I watched another episode of Dark with Case.

Throughout the week, I watched my usual shows for my Retro Television Reviews.  I didn’t watch a lot and I need to get caught up on Abbott Elementary, Survivor, and a few others.  But this week was still an improvement over last week!
