toastykittenA Little Late With Lilly Singh - first late night talk show host with a bisexual Indian-Canadian woman of color. She comes from YouTube. First episode was all right. I'm kind of over white people jokes if there's nothing new there, and for the most part there wasn't. Fun interview with Mindy Kaling and a cameo with Rainn Wilson where they just ran the white noise joke into the ground.We'll see how she does as she gets used to things. All other boys got to get years to impress, so I can be patient, too.
Sunnyside - Failed Indian-American politician Garrett Modi helps a random assortment of immigrants in getting their US citizenships before ICE can get to them. It's a Mike Schur show, so it's big on the warm and fuzzy and quick wit. Kal Penn is basically Kumar but a politician trying to reform his ways (for the most part). I'm kind of eh on the part where Modi asks one of the immigrants, an Ethiopian, if he was a cardiothoracic surgeon in Ethiopia, why would he leave that life to come to the US and drive a cab, and he (sorry, forgot his name) answers, "Because it's the US. You can be anything, do anything here." That kind of schmaltz just really rankles me these days, especially since by the end of the episode of them gets taken by ICE.
The Good Place - yay it's back! The first episode seemed more like a two-parter, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
