    Did anyone watch this? Is it going to wrap up all story lines?

    I did. It got better. And no, the season finale added some information
    to the main mystery but left one main character bleeding out and a
    second possibly infected with a neurotoxin (and a third recovering in a
    hospital bed).

    The viewers got screwed.

    That wouldn't have happened if Red Reddington were still around!!

    This show grew on me (Melissa Roxburgh is much better in this than she

    Now, that's damning with faint praise! Manifest wasn't hurt by bad

    I didn't help!!

    That show never addressed unresolved plot threads. Every episode was
    another retcon.

    I finished this one up. Has it been renewed?

    The Handmaid's Tale (final season 6 premiere) (12:01 am, Hulu)

    Ten episodes. Three stream today, with the rest following once weekly
    through May 27.

    I'm still in the middle of Season 5. So much TV to watch...

    G20 (movie) (12:01 am, Prime Video)

    Terrorists attack a G20 summit filled with world leaders, and it's up to
    the American president (Viola Davis) to save the day in this straight-to-streaming thriller that also stars Anthony Anderson, Antony Starr, Elizabeth Marvel, Clark Gregg, Marsai Martin, and Ramon
    Rodriguez. 1h 48m.

    I was going to pass on this but the girlfriend pointed out that with a black ninja president kicking ass and saving the world, not watching it and
    absorbing the propaganda is likely a hate crime, so I guess we'll have to
    watch it. I'm sure it will drive me absolutely nuts with all the "that's not how any of this works" moments.

    Black Mirror (complete season 7) (3:01 am, Netflix)

    The 7th season of Netflix's hit sci-fi anthology series streams today
    with six new episodes, including a sequel to one of the show's
    best-known episodes, the Star Trek riff "USS Callister." The latter will
    be a nearly feature-length episode (one of two this season) and will
    return director Toby Haynes and some of the cast from "Callister,"
    including Cristin Milioti

    Love Cristin Milioti. She has a spacious suite in my pocket.

    TMZ Presents: The Menendez Brothers: The Prison Interview

    Why are these two assholes getting so much tv attention? Wasn't there
    just a made-for-tv movie?

    Because they're doing a full-court press to let them out of prison. They hit a roadblock, though, after hug-a-thug D.A. George Gascon got thrown out of
    office last fall and his replacement, Nathan Hochman, has petitioned the court to withdraw Gascon's re-sentencing motion.

    The Hunting Party (season 1 finale) (10 pm, NBC)

    Did anyone watch this? Is it going to wrap up all story lines?

    I watched it, and no, not only did it not wrap up everything, it added a new twist/cliffhanger in the final episode, one which will probably never be resolved.

    G20 (movie) (12:01 am, Prime Video)

    The Wrong Summit!

    LOL!

    No. A recent Deadline article said that NBC has a lot of decisions to
    make because they have to make room on the schedule for a lot of NBA
    basketball next season. The article said that prospects seemed promising
    for the show, but (my research) the ratings have been dropping all
    season. I have enjoyed it and thought it got better as it went along.
