The Irrational - Cheating Life

The hit-and-run death of a former scientist turned fitness guru he once knew leads Alec Mercer (Jesse L. Martin) to look into discovering the man’s death was no accident (although it will take longer than the audience to come to the logical conclusion of what really happened). The show continues to play down the roles of Phoebe (Molly Kunz) and Owen (Arash DeMaxi), with Kylie (Travina Springer) playing shotgun for her brother rather than one of his assistants, while also limiting Alec’s interactions with the FBI to a single scene (sadly they still get their own subplots which continues to spin their wheels).

Delicious in Dungeon - Stewed Cabbage/Orcs

“Stewed Cabbage/Orcs” offers an explanation to where Senshi (SungWon Cho) acquires the vegetables he uses for so many of his recipes in an episode that also offers a nice teaching moment about living harmoniously in the natural world (even if that world is in a dungeon full of monsters). After harvesting his latest supply, the party runs into some of Senshi’s clients: a group of orcs on hard times. In this episode as well, we get a lesson about working together (even with people you might not immeadiately like) in order to produce positive results such as the feast even Marcille (Emily Rudd) can’t complain about.

Hazbin Hotel - Overture

What started out as an independent webcomic has now become a full-blown Amazon series. I had a very mixed reaction to the opening episode of the series that centers around Lucifer’s daughter Charlie (Erika Henningsen) and her plan to create a hotel within Hell to redeem sinners allowing them to eventually reach Heaven. I enjoy Charlie, and the look of the episode. The musical numbers were a bit more hit-and-miss for me (although the idea of singing about how glorious Hell is from a certain point of view is humorous).
