Originally shown on streaming platform in May.

CDC investigator is sent to investigate a mysterious illness and encounters the creature. 

One viewer wrote that it's, "clumsy, cliched, with bland protagonists, some lousy writing and wooden acting."

extremely fast -- but it's unclear why they always seems to stop at a convenient time.

I was wondering if an exterior scene was filmed in Chicago.  At least some websites

say it was (specifically Rogers Park), although another said, maybe Milwaukee.  

I suppose it could be both.

--   4:30p  Leaving for dinner @Culver's: Fried cod;  Dining room was open

I was the only one in the north dining area but then a couple of older men sat at

the very next table -- probably because that was the first table.  If I wasn't

almost finished, I would have moved.

~~  I had first went to Covo because website said they had a special, but when I

asked about it they said it was last week.  So, I left.  It's so stupid for a

restaurant to have you there and let you leave.

A financial thriller based on a book.  Originally broadcast in Italy this past spring.

Weaves actual economic events of 2011 into the plotline.  

One critic said, "There’s nothing that’s awful about Devils; it’s not eye-rollingly dumb and the performances are decent. It’s just that the first episode 

grinds along so slowly, you just wonder when the real story is going to kick in. It does, at the end, but by then you might be too bored to care."

So, I'm not sure if I should bother watching.

I think he got a bit too verbose with some answers.

He is such an idiot, claiming that Obamacare is gone simply because they got rid of

the individual mandate.  He claims he's going to replace it with something much better

(even perfect), but he can't explain why he hasn't done that.  I saw a woman in the

audience (right behind him) nodding in agreement with Trump.  Is she a plant?

I don't believe that either town hall has changed a single mind.

>>>   9:19p  "One Day at a Time"

This is the 4th season of a new version of the 1975 show with a Latinx cast.

The first 3 season were on POP, which I don't get, but I know the general idea

from the old show -- but I don't know what I don't know.  The basic idea was

a show with a single mom.

~~  Ray Romano guests as a census taker -- which is conveniently topical --

but also allows some exposition of who the characters are.

~~  Mackenzie Phillips, who was on the 1975 show, plays the leader of a support group.

~~  I guess I'll keep watching it.

A group of friends stay in touch through video chats during the COVID-19 lockdown.

~~  Roper says it has a likeable cast and it's "a fresh, funny, fast-paced

and emotionally impactful show with relevant and relatable humor, some

wise commentary on our times—and a love story in the making.?

~~  It says it took place on Mar 29.

~~  It seems that the main thing is that this is a show that was able to be 

produced during the lockdown, but they also managed to do a good job.

~~  It's kind of like "Friends", in that you have to wonder why these people

don't seem to know anyone else.  But, I suppose I'll keep watching.

Former tech CEO works with a Homeland Cybersecurity Agent to stop a AI that is killing people.

~~  Favorable revies say, "w whole lot of fun", but a critic said, "plot points that only hold together if you don’t think about them too much."

One said it's like "Little Shop of Horrors" but with an AI instead of a plant.  Another said it loses steam by the 3rd or 4th episode.

~~  There is a character named <b>Jennie</b>,  

~~  Main character is Mr LeBlanc.  On "Transplant", a main character is Dr Leblanc.

~~  It's good, so I'll keep watching, but I'm afraid it will go downhill.

Takes place a few years in the future when they've discovered the "soul particle"

which allows a matchmaking company to connect people with their soulmates.

~~  The characters are American but the cast is largely British.  Reviewers all say

the acting in excellent, but the stories are underdeveloped.

~~  Dolly Wells plays Jennifer.

~~  The first episode asks what you should do if you are already married.

~~  It's an anthology -- there is a new cast on the next episode.  I don't know if

there is any overlap, except the staff at the testing company, which are small parts.

~~  It's a 6-part series, so, I suppose I'll watch it.

Another Canadian show. One critic said it follows, "the familiar tracks of most crime and 

medical procedurals, and the solved cases never progress beyond the melodramatic.

~~  Recently widowed,  Jenny Cooper, a former e.r. doctor turned coroner, teams with 

Toronto detectives to solve murder mysteries.

~~  At her first case, the suicides were teens at a juvie facility and the social worker

there was a college classmate of Jenny.

newer shows start.

>>>   6:07p  "Tell Me a Story" (07/28/20)

An anthology series featuring beloved fairy tales told in a new way.  It was originally

available 2 years ago on CBS All Access website.

~~  The 1st episode has subtle hints of "Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs",

but all of the characters are human.  The pigs are bank robbers who wear pig masks.

~~  There are characters named Dan and JorDAN, and actors named Dan, DANielle, DANia, and

one whose last name is GulDAN.

~~  Rita was played by Jennifer Ikeda -- but I didn't notice the character.

~~  I would probably have missed most of the fairy tale references if the description

of the series didn't mention it.  

~~  Harsh critic said, "The characters are lifeless composites with little or no reason to care about what they’re doing."

~~  I thought the same actors would be playing different characters is subsequent episodes but

a quick look at the cast list online shows they're playing the same characters, but they seem

to get involved in different fairy tale story lines each week.  The various stories are slightly 

intertwined.  Red Riding Hood meets the "wolf" at a bar where one of the bank robbers is working

as a bartender.

~~  If they were different characters each week, I probably wouldn't watch, but I'll probably

watch the next episode.
