On line, since I don't have a TV, but I'm watching it.

I'd learned about it on NPR, I think, and then a friend recommended it. It's quite nice to be current on some show, since as someone without TV I'm usually years behind.

wrapped up in a quirky/campy personality. Well written, surprising plot twists, Broadway actors (Aaron Tveit, glorius Jan Maxwell, Nikki M. James, Megan Hilty, Beth Malone, Zach Grenier, Michael Esper, and many others in one-off appearances) and others with theater training, BrainDead is one of those shows I fall for knowing it is too good to last with the usual viewing audience. Unfortunately.

I was watching 'The Night Of' and 'Roadies.' Turned out 'Braindead' just hadn't aired here on the West Coast yet, so I did get to see it--good episode!

There are too many good shows running now, especially on Sunday, though some are in season hiatus. It will be tough to drop some as time goes on with so many choices. There's a limit to how many of these good shows we can afford the time to watch.
