Alex Murdaugh is currently on trial for the murders of his wife and son by the way

Correction, this should be "Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World"

Russell Davies interview with GQ includes comments about Doctor Who and things he’s doing now that he’s returned with a bigger budget, including more spin-offs https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/russell-t-davies-nolly-doctor-who-interview-2023?utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

Did it seem like there was a scene missing before Nina told Willow she wasn’t a match? We saw the gang waiting outside the room, but didn’t see people like Sonny arriving

I remain surprised that Selena continues to lasso Gladys in with her gambling problem given she’s Sonny’s cousin, as Selena has been careful in the past not to step on his toes as the boss of Port Charles

It is a bit of a surprise that Nina isn’t a match, but it did force the reveal that she’s Willow’s mother, so at least there was some soapy fallout. Plus, as others have said, Nina and Willow can maybe eventually forge some sort of bond without either feeling some forced obligation to do so because Nina saved Willow’s life. I hope this doesn’t send Nina into some mental crisis. It will be interesting to see who does provide the bone marrow. Anyone else though wonder if Carly found a way to tamper with the results?

Hulu 3-part docuseries that streams February 9 Trailer The question I keep asking is "How?". How does something like this go on for 10 years at a college?

An MSNBC 4-part docuseries with an unflinching look at the complicated and controversial Rudy Giuliani. It premieres on Sunday, February 19 at 10pm and continues on subsequent Sundays

A CNN documentary that profiles pill mill kingpins twin brothers Chris and Jeff George. They trafficked over $500 million in opioid pills while running sham pain clinics and fueled the worst drug epidemic in American history. The documentary premieres on CNN on Sunday, February 5 9-11pm ET

The HBO documentary premieres on HBO Tuesday February 7 9-10:40pm ET and streams on HBO Max

The preliminary ratings for the 3rd episode held up pretty well from the 2-episode premiere, earning 0.7 in the 18-49 demo and 5 million viewers. It won its timeslot and the night on the demo, though CBS programs overtook it on viewers

Well, the preliminary ratings did drop a lot from the premiere, earning 0.4 in the demo and 2.4 million viewers. So not quite as bad as Alert but not that far off

I had forgotten about the frequent cast turnover, but to be fair, the first actress playing the 2nd bailiff died of cancer after 2 seasons, and her replacement also died of cancer after one season, and her replacement Marsha Warfield manages to remain through the rest of the series. No excuses for the turnovers of the public defender, but I recall liking Markie Post in the role the best

Nice interview with John https://deadline.com/2023/01/john-larroquette-melissa-rauch-night-court-interview-markie-post-1235239962/

What is with the whispering when Sonny is making a dramatic point?

I think it was Christina taking a high level job with a competitor and poaching Goodwin that put her in the doghouse (and then she got fired from the other company), but putting her in a menial job and treating her like crap is going too far, especially given that Goodwin, who also went to work for the competition, was made president of the company By the way, Wikipedia reminds me that Goodwin was a professor of economics in Nigeria or on the path to doing so

And controversial since Saudi Arabia is backing that golf league
