Official press release and trailer http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2023/05/09/hbo-original-documentary-being-mary-tyler-moore-debuts-may-26-426415/20230509hbo01/ Debuts May 26 at 8pm on HBO and streaming on HBO Max

Executive Producer Howard Gordon talks about the show https://tvline.com/2023/05/09/accused-finale-preview-howard-gordon-season-2-changes/ Interesting that he’s considering doing one or more 2 parters in the second season

It really bugged me how much the various characters at the hospital in the know about Victor would stand around in public and discuss Victor and the virus for everyone to overhear

I thought she was planning to attend at some point soon, not that she was doing it now. I think part of that conversation with the older student indicated some future time she would attend but that maybe Dele’s college would serve her as well

The fight between Victor and Spencer where Spencer bonked Victor’s head onto the bar counter was not staged very well and it was clearly obvious Victor’s head didn’t make contact with the counter That old computer in the bunker sure was noisy. I thought a dot matrix printer was running. It’s been too long to recall if those old computers were really that noisy but I’m skeptical I agree that the ending with Trina jumping on Spencer as he appeared was a great soapy moment and a lot of fun

But it’s good that they are continuing with the storyline because it need to be told and bring greater awareness

That’s sad. It was a good and interesting show

A weird turnaround but welcome for a final season

I really enjoyed Sharon telling off her father-in-law. I enjoyed the episode overall. I’m glad Sleeper got arrested as he annoyed me, but I guess he was supposed to. I’m glad Bode came clean about him instead of continuing to try to take care of the problem himself

The thing I didn’t get was why the thieves didn’t cover their faces. I also looked side-eyed at the victims buying gold coins worth many thousands of dollars because they didn’t trust banks and stashing them in their house, but at least they were using safes. Oh, I believe that happens but it’s still dumb

I did see the first story (maybe just the last part where they were trying to stop the weather machine) way back in the early 80s and I was watching to keep my mom informed since she was working and I was home from school (Summer I think) so I didn't really get everything that was going on and it seemed a little loopy to me, but I enjoyed it. As short as this current story has been (the last few weeks that is), I have enjoyed it. As someone else said though, Victor started mumbling about his plan eons ago (couple of years?) and it took this long to heat up and then finished pretty quickly. I wonder if the writers wrapped it up more quickly then intended due to the pending strike? For me, the last mini-arc that excited me was the gang stopping Ryan Chamberlain and rescuing Esme, so not bad on keeping me entertained Separately, I wish Willow had also demanded to Carly that she stop fighting with Nina; it wasn't just Nina that's the problem

I enjoyed this episode, especially the Taye Diggs plot

Best sketches: Black podcast - The juxtaposition between the quiet PBS-style narration and the loud and street commercial announcer was hilarious (along with the content of the show being nonsense) Black Lady Courtroom - Was that Issa Rae? Queen’s Knights share gossip Brunch trashing FashionNova and Non-commital Chris So pretty much the whole show lol

6 seasons is a good run. CBS does not fully own the show so it sounds like it was just getting too expensive for them

Sad. I thought there at least would be a chance they would move it over to streaming like they did with SEAL Team

New teaser released on BBC1 https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/drwho-teaser-050523

So will Valentine die or will the antidote save him in time? I really enjoyed Holly telling Victor exactly what she did to him and the exaggerated looks between her and Obrecht to refer to Victor’s sexual problem

It felt like this episode was written to serve as a nice finale in case they don't get renewed
