Dead Talents Society (movie) (Netflix, March 27)

 

A sheepish rookie ghost must scare the living or risk vanishing forever.
With help from a once-lauded mentor, she works to master the art of
haunting. 2024 Taiwanese film; 1hr 50m.

 If I didn't despise streaming, I'd watch this.
 

Note: Not noted in last week's listings, NBC's "Deal or No Deal Island"
completed its second season on Tuesday, March 25.

 A tidal wave took out the rest of the cast and smarmy host.
 

Rescue: Hi-Surf (season 1 finale) (9 pm, Fox)

 Damn. I've still got the whole season sitting here unwatched. I finally
cleared off Doctor Odessey after watching two episodes too many.
 

America's Test Kitchen: The Next Generation (complete season 2)
(12:01 am, Prime Video)

 

"America's Test Kitchen: The Next Generation" is a competition series in
which 11 home cooks from across the country come to the ATK headquarters
for the job interview of a lifetime. Through a series of difficult
cooking and media challenges they compete for a chance to become the
newest face on America's Test Kitchen, author a cookbook, and win
$100,000 to put towards their culinary dreams! Ten episodes. Season one
streamed on Freevee from Dec. 2022 through February 2023.

 This is so sad. This was the one remaining cooking show in which they
taught the viewer technique but like everything else, it's turned to
crap. Back to reruns of The French Chef.

Have you tried YouTube for cooking instruction? I've found it quite helpful when I set myself a goal for making something but had no idea how to make it.

 

The Bondsman [new; complete season 1] (12:01 am, Prime Video)

 

Kevin Bacon stars as undead bounty hunter Hub Halloran in Amazon's new
series from Blumhouse Television. After being murdered, Halloran gets a
new lease on life from the Devil, who employs him to seek out and
capture demons who have escaped from Hell. Along the way, he'll get a
second chance at life, love, and ... a country music career. All eight
half-hour episodes stream today.

 Oh for fuck's sake, just bring back Brimstone.
 

Grosse Pointe Garden Society (new time slot) (8 pm, NBC)

 

Moves from Sunday 10 pm.

 Ian, tell me I'm a sap for watching this, knowing that none of the
ongoing plot threads will be resolved, plus it will end on a cliffhanger
setting up the next season that will never be ordered.
