I have told friends (and I mean this as a huge compliment) that Abbott Elementary is the GOAT folding laundry/checking morning emails show. Witty, right amount/pace of dialogue, visually interesting enough that watching intently is a plus but also if you have to look away it’s no big deal, easy to follow
Another one I put on in the background is Celebrity Jeopardy - the format is a three-round tournament with 27 players (9 QF episodes, 3 SF episodes, 1 final). The questions (statements?) in the QF round are literally on the level of:
“This is the color typical of a firetruck.”
You barely have to pay attention to get most of them and you it’s a nice little confidence boost to crush a round while only half trying
The SF round is roughly the same level of questions as a regular episode of Jeopardy, and the Final episode actually has a few toughies thrown in
Also I’ve been on the project of binging all of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown which I like to throw on while cooking (but not while eating because I don’t want to feel envy over his food looking better than mine)

I was hoping that the last of us season 2 was going to try to avoid a lot of the pitfalls the game jumped into, but it looks like it might be doing a full swan dive into them.
What I’m saying is, I think this season is gonna suck ass.

will the show address morally gray subject matter such as it may be wrong to stealth-kill a dog with a compound bow
