They mentioned "Winter Storm Eboni".  This is the first time I'm aware of a winter storm
having a name.  A search revealed that The Weather Channel has been naming such storms since 2012.  It's controversial because The Weather Channel isn't the government so the names aren't official, and others argue the criteria they use in arbitrary.

>>> 11:38p  "Doubt" (02/15/2017)  (Metacritic: 58, 30-80, #25)
One critic said, "The show is competent for what it is."  Everyone seems to like the cast.
But we know it was pulled from the schedule after 2 episodes and the remaining half-season played out in the summer.
~~  It's a fairly typical legal drama.  The lead is a defense lawyer.
I will probably finish watching it.

>>>   6:13p  "Slap, The"  (02/12/2015)
8-part miniseries based on Australian series which was based on a novel of the same name.
  • Each episode tells the story of the aftermath of a birthday party from the perspective of a different character.
  • An unmanageable kid was swinging a bat around in backyard and the host's cousin slapped the kid.  The kid's parents are horrified.
  • I'm not sure if I should care.  The man shouldn't have hit the kid, but it seems like the incident wasn't really that serious, so I'm not sure if I should care what everyone's perspective is.

and now it's telling it picked 8:22p.  So, that's ridiculous to pick a time that early.
So, I started closing things since there I didn't seem to have a choice.

>>> "Nightflyers"  (Metacritic: 47, 20-(40-60), #14)
  • Eight scientists and a telepath traveling on The Nightflyer space ship to make contact with alien life begin experiences strange and violent occurrences in this adaptation of George R.R. Martin's novella (which also was made into a 1987 film).
  • A harsh critic said it's, "A tediously generic haunted-house-in-space odyssey."
    A more favorable critic said it's "Decently cast, interestingly claustrophobic",  I don't think I  like claustrophobic.  And he also said, "What starts intriguingly turns sillier the deeper you go." Another said, "There’s a sense all of this has been done before," but added that it  "remains enjoyable to watch despite these weaknesses."
  • After the 1st min, I decided to put this on hold.
