5 shows I'm watching in June

It's the season to catch up on TV I missed over the last few months (Ripley and Pretty Little Liars, finally).

On the 15th of each month, I compile all the shows I've recently watched along with my more critical opinions that I refrain from sharing on Instagram (for…reasons). I spent the better part of the last month moving apartments which sucked up way more TV-watching time than I expected, but I have some thoughts on late spring shows like Elsbeth and The Sympathizer, and I’m finally at the end of my slow-watch of The Big C.

Until July 1st, I’ll be donating 100% of any new paid subscriptions to families in Gaza seeking mutual aid via Operation Olive Branch. You get the bonus of subscribing to my newsletter, too! If you want to participate but you’re already a paid subscriber, you can also gift a subscription.


5. Elsbeth (CBS)
My score: 72/100
