>>>   8:41a  "Republic of Sarah, The"  (06/14/21)  (Metacritic: 48, 40-55, #4)
She is a high school history teacher who gets home at 6am on a school night after attending a 
punk show.  One of her students seems to be the daughter of the small town's mayor.  Sarah's estranged brother returns to town to tell the residents that the company he works for has discovered a valuable metal
used to make capacitors.  Some people will be displaced, but will be moved to new dream homes.
Sarah's best friend is already living in his dream home -- he built it himself.  Sarah's mom, an author, has been sober for 10 mo, but the return of her son was enough to end that.
~~  I expect to continue watching.

>>>   8:59p  "Housebroken" (05/31/21)  (Metacritic: 66, 30-(58-80), #7)
Animated series about a poodle (Lisa Kudrow) who leads group therapy session
among a bunch of animals.
~~ One review said it's "Disarmingly clever".
~~ One of the creators is Jennifer Crittenden.
~~ It's stupid.  I don't plan to watch it again.  Those who like it are probably
just impressed with the actors who do the voices.
