Absolutely nothing. And where I am staying, there are no TVs and the
streamers don’t work right, so I’m probably not watching anything through
Memorial Day.

 Have a nice vacation!

I watched:
Star Trek: Discovery - "Lagrange Point" - Penultimate episode.  Meh.  I am really disappointed in this season.  I just don't care about the two villains.  And I don't understand the danger they are trying to prevent.   And how exactly is there this huge ethical puzzle that needs to be solved yet the two villains are always able to keep up with Discovery? The whole ethical puzzle seems pointless if the villains can easily keep up with the heroes.
Night Court - "The Best Dan" - Season 2 finale.  Already covered by Ian who I suspect liked it a lot more than I did.
9-1-1 - "Ashes, Ashes" - Bobby mopes around through the episode depressed for some reason or another.  This new plot point involving Malcolm-Jamal Warner's character feels like a retcon out of nowhere.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (theatrical) Latest entry in the Mad Max franchise.  This is the 5th movie but it is a prequel to the 4th movie and details the back story of Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy).  The movie has been getting rave reviews and absolutely lives up to the hype.  I need to watch part 4 again, but at this point this is either the best movie in the franchise or the second best after 4.  I suspect I'm going to like 4 a bit more, but they definitely still knocked it out of the park with this one.  Visually it's pure eye candy and pretty much nonstop action as the movie details how Furiosa came to live in the wasteland and a war between Immortan Joe (the villain the last movie) and Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) a new villain for this movie.  Furiosa is caught in the middle but makes the best of it.  Plus she's got her own vengeance quest going on too.
