What Did You Watch? 2025-01-18 (Saturday)

Yesterday was 1) football, and 2) streaming TV series. I barely got to soaps:
soaps: Y&R - I guess Wed's(?) ep. Claire makes a bunch of admissions about the Newmans (e.g. how they *are* horrible people!) to Aunty Jordan but I couldn't tell if Claire was just feeding Jordan a line, or whether Claire actually believes what she says and secretly despises Victor and the Newmans. The rest of this was Sally-Adam & Billy-Chelsea redux... meh.
football - In the afternoon game, while Houston tried to make a go of it in the first half, as expected they were ultimately overwhelmed by Kansas City (who is cruising to another Super Bowl appearance at this rate).
    The evening game was a pathetic disappointment as the Lions utterly choked against Washington.
    Now I am down to the Rams as the only NFC team I care about...
On Call (Prime) - I finally finished this show out. I'm not sure the second 4 episodes were as strong as the first 4 episodes, as the show seemed to go quickly over-the-top towards the end (e.g. PLL bitch! uses a live weapon on the streets for the first time, rookie gets shot (but was vested)). And I'm not sure I cared for the "Reset Button" they hit at the end, esp. because I don't think this show has been renewed yet, so if it ends here it will be an unsatisfying ending... I did like how Eriq La Salle ended up not being PLL's (bitches!) enemy.
    But if they did do a second season of this show, I would watch it.
Silo (Apple TV+) - Got through the first 4 episodes of season #2 of this.
    This is definitely a show in which it would drive me crazy to not "binge" it - for example, Rebecca Ferguson wasn't in ep. #2.2 at all, and this kind of thing drives me nuts when watching a show week-to-week.
    Anyway, Ferguson's Juliette makes her way over to one of the other silos (Silo 15, I think they said) at this season's start. We are shown in the premiere's opening sequence that in this silo there was a revolution (because the silo had already failed?), and they all went to the surface, where they all died. Luckily for Juliette, they hadn't managed to close all of the silo doors, so she gets herself in, closing the vault door behind her. The silo seems utterly abandoned... but is it?!
    Back in Silo (17?), Tim Robbins continues to lie, and plot, and scheme. Meh - I generally don't care for this storyline, because what Robbins does continues to be counterproductive - he is even told as much by the judge lady (Tanya Moodie). And he keeps screwing over Common, which also seems to be plying with fire.
    Meanwhile, Shirley and "Mechanical" (i.e. Engineering) move closer to outright rebellion over Juliette's fate, so Tim Robbins frames them for a heinous crime.
    Back in the abandoned silo, Juliette discovers a single survivor, an apparently somewhat crazy dude, self-named as "Solo" (Steve Zahn).
    We'll see where they go from here, but the show continues to be stingy with backstory which I think is starting to work against it rather than "heightening the mystery"...
