There are no major spoilers in these reviews.
Lincoln Lawyer Season One:
This is a shallow, entertaining lawyer show that doesn't really add up to much by the end. It sometimes feels like a really weak channeling of Bosch with fewer cops. I had it on in the background while I did 5 hours of organizing around the house, and it was perfect for that purpose. On Netflix.
Final Grade: B-
Black Mirror, Season Six:
This five-episode season is very good but also very different from previous seasons. The focus on near-future dystopia and technology has lessened (maybe because the present has already become so grim) in favor of a more Twilight Zone tone with different anthology themes. On Netflix.
Final Grade: B
Trench by Twenty-One Pilots:
This album sounds simultaneously muddy and minimalist, without many hooks to keep interest. It's not as good as Blurryface.
Final Grade: C
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (PC):
This reskinning of Borderlands as a D&D adventure tries to channel the success of the Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep expansion from Borderlands 2. The tone and voice acting (involving Ashly Burch, Andy Samberg, and Wanda Sykes) is great, but the basic gameplay never really grabbed me. I gave it a couple shots but dropped it after about an hour of playtime.
Final Grade: Not Rated
