Happy! S01E01, Wednesdays in the US.

HAPPY! is based on New York Times best-selling author Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel of the same name. The series follows Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni, Law & Order: SVU) – an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man – who is adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (Patton Oswalt).

The Fake News With Ted Helms, Wednesday in the US.

Led by Helms as Nelms, the special skewers the way news is delivered by emptying out the format and refilling it with insanity, silliness, and absolutely no factual content, throwing all its resources into the ongoing national crisis of President Trump getting stuck in an abandoned well. Because this is The Fake News.

No surprise there. I'm not generally a fan of the character but I thought it was easily one of the strongest Marvel Netflix shows so far.

Jean Claude Van Johnson: S1 is now up on Amazon Prime, haven't seen any other than the Pilot from a while back.

Hope there’s actually some kind of resolution in the second season of Dirk Gently, then... The first season just kept asking more questions than it answered.

BBC America

Finished S2 last night - a bit too twee/pat (but then it is fairy tale fantasy) but still worked very well. Think S1 was stronger overall (but then 1800s Steampunk > FairyTales) but it worked well. And it's just fun to watch the characters.
