They Cloned Tyrone (R):
This blaxploitation thriller is a fun ride although the overall theme doesn't convey as well. The three primary characters (John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, and Teyonah Parris) turn in great performances although Kiefer Sutherland's supporting role feels a bit miscast. Best watched without knowing too much in advance. On Netflix.

Final Grade: B

Cobra Kai, Season Five:
The penultimate season of Cobra Kai is very strong, constantly pushing forward towards an explosive conclusion. I'm glad that an early plotline involving a road trip through Mexico wrapped up quickly, and I'm also glad that the list of villians streamlined as the season went on. On Netflix.

Final Grade: B+

Dave, Season Three:
The last season of Dave sometimes feels like a spin-off of Atlanta. We petered out on this season halfway through after Rebecca got tired of watching Dave feel sorry for himself, but I ultimately finished it on the treadmill. It recovers nicely, uses a ton of guest stars to great effect, and provides a nice ending for all of the characters. On Hulu.

Final Grade: B

Intraspectral by Lenka:
My review of Attune can be used word-for-word with Lenka's newest CD.
