The advertising is atrocious, however.

I grew up in the 70s, when peak parental neglect coincided with TV stations buying cheap movie rights by the boatload — I watched that by myself when I was four and had some vivid nightmares about it for quite a while afterward.

If I wanted radio, I’d be listening to it. Lack of transcript neglectful of the hearing impaired.

You know the (totally mythical) story about how NASA spent $20 million to develop a pen that would work in space? Well Hulu took it too literally and spent $20 million on a Penn that doesn’t even make it to space.

I refuse to believe it. Burt Reynolds cannot die. He just... drove away.

A star against your trouble.
