I watched:

The Franchise (HBO) "Scene 113: The Bridge" and "Scene 117: The Death of 
Eye" - The penultimate episode and season (series?) finale.  The show 
wraps up with the movie being finished but there is a bit of a 
controversy when an alternate cut of the movie is secretly made.  I can 
see what the show is doing or tried to do, but the humor on this show 
just never worked for me.  I doubt I'll be back if the show returns for 
a second season.


What We do in the Shadows - "The Promotion" - Penultimate episode. 
Guillermo wants a promotion at the office.  Meh.

"The Finale" - In the series finale (I had no idea this was the last 
season!) the documentary crew announces they are done filming. Guillermo 
doesn't take it very well, but the vampires don't care one way or the 
other.  I don't know, I guess it was OK.  But for a show that was 
capable of so much more it feels like they went out on a whimper.
