There are no major spoilers in these reviews.

NUT by KT Tunstall:
Following KIN and WAX, NUT is another album of pleasant, but not immediately memorable songs. I can't always tell if my listening habits have changed or if the 2007 era songs really were that much better.

Final Grade: B

Welcome to Chippendale's:
This show about the first Chippendales male strip club started out interesting but then went to treading water pretty quickly. Other than the 70s vibe, it doesn't bring much that's new to stick out of the crowd of other shows worth watching. We gave up after 4 episodes.

Final Grade: Not Rated

Abbott Elementary, Season Two:
The second season improves upon the first, with more long-term callbacks and interesting guest stars. None of the characters feel overused yet, and there's guaranteed to be a few laughs in every episode.

Final Grade: B

Beef:
This dramedy about a road rage incident that spins out of control is excellent and artsy. It doesn't hit the typical story beats you would expect which makes it feel very fresh. The final episode is a daring choice but works very well to close out well-earned character arcs.

Final Grade: A
