We’re rounding out our second week sheltering in place here at the Televerse, and while the world is full of stressors right now, thankfully there’s been a lot of interesting TV to help us take our minds off of them. We kick things off this this episode with our week in comedy and reality, starting with an update on how Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and Late Night with Seth Meyers are handling their at-home shoots. Then we look at the return of One Day at a Time, the antepenultimate Schitt’s Creek, J.K. Simmons’ guest spot on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Ball Ball. Next we head over to the genre and drama offerings, glancing by two emotional, draining Steven Universe Future episodes (because great as they are, we just don’t have the bandwith right now) and diving in with Batwoman, Supergirl, and the finale of Stumptown. Then Noel stans for Guy’s Grocery Games and we head over to the season spotlight section. Both Noel and Kate were excited by the promise shown in the Star Trek: Picard premiere. Did the rest of the season hold up, and should you seek out the show, now that CBS All Access has dropped its paywall, at least for Picard? Tune in, then reach out with your thoughts on Picard, One Day at a Time, Stumptown, and more.
And don’t forget to stop by next week as Noel, Kate, and friend of the show Allison Shoemaker continue their journey through Lucifer with week two of Streaming In Place.
