Interesting. Does this finally mean there will be no more shenanigans 
with Netflix releasing stuff unannounced?!

(Even if that's true, Tubi will still be throwing lots and lots of 
random stuff up every week without ever announcing any of it!...)

I already said I am passing on this one - it's a pro-Suleman fluff 
piece, and Kristen Lee Gutoskie no longer looks as good as she once did 
(esp. playing Suleman!).

I might have watched this, but I have a backlog of unwatched 
Lifetime/LMN flicks that I've DVR'ed that I'd rather get to instead.

Gah.

I may or may not watch this "live" (I don't have to work on Monday, 
which increases the odds that I'll watch it live) but I will certainly 
record it if I don't.

Another series I've never managed to get to, and Spectrum dragging its 
feet on giving its subscribers AMC+ isn't helping.

Nobody around here ever watched this, did they?...
(It seems like an "Obveeus" kind of show.)

Are they going to tell the truth?! - That Alec Baldwin vicious murdered

My brother might be interested in this, but I don't think he gets Pee+.

No!

But typical that this ended up on Netflix, which really seems to be 
going for the LCD audience lately...  :/

The only thing on Netflix I might be tempted to watch...
