What did you watch?

 Hey, thanks for asking!
 I’ve been listening to the malfunctioning, Amazon fire stick, and this is
truly a habit I must break. It recommended:
  Five blind dates.
 OMG this was horrible! Shame on you, Amazon for recommending it.
 Basically a Hallmark format movie with the plucky protagonist who has to
return to her hometown for a wedding and falls in love with a guy she left
behind. Yawn.
 The problem is she’s massively unlikable (she won’t carry any popular types
of tea and screams at and throws out and physically assaults customers that
ask for them) and you don’t want her to find love, or make her tea shop a
success.
 Her BFF is this extraordinarily gay guy with pink hair, who minces and
prances through the thing and pretends he’s ducky from pretty in pink.
 Even though they’re dirt broke, they continuously fly back-and-forth from
Sydney to some mysterious tropical island. They grew up on where she lives
in Townsville (I guess that’s supposed to be really clever, Powerpuff Girls
level humor).
 It’s full of big burning stupid like the bride signing her up to give gifts
to some subset of the guests and she said she can’t afford it and ducky
suggests she give them tea sets and she says she can’t possibly afford to
give them tea sets when she runs a tea shop with no customers and tea
stockpiled just everywhere. Tea sets have to be the least expensive thing
she could give!
 Here’s an example of the writing (by the protagonist) and probably the
funniest exchange in the entire film:
 Dad: I’m betting on you!
Protagonist: I am not a slot machine!
Mom: don’t say slut!
 One of her bridesmaids was really hawt and the Amazon suggested I check her
out in BLACKLIGHT. I should’ve known better as she got killed two minutes
into it.

Interesting... It looks like "Blacklight" is one of the recent Liam Neeson movies I haven't gotten to yet...
Promoted!!  :)
(Except, I might not be able to get it - it looks like it might be locked up by MGM+... WHICH NOBODY GETS!!)

Mark Trent.

Will Trent!!  :|

Season two episode three. The cute bomb expert did show up again in
flashback. Beyond that I’m just bored with it and done.
  The Fugitive
 The 1963 series. I think I was trying to watch it on Pluto (I really just
need to throw away that app) but they didn’t have the first three episodes
or the last two seasons...

OK, important question – Are these episodes on Pluto in low/standard-def? Or are they in HDTV?
After seeing the remastered Lois & Clark on the Max (and after seeing SbtB still in low-def on MeTV!!), I can't go back to SDTV!!  ;)
