Raised by Wolves continues, with past influencing the present, shifts to relationships and characters’ allegiances, and clear evidence that the human survivors are not alone.
Big Dumb Object and unsolved mysteries ahead.

So, did you enjoy The Boys first three episodes? Are the Lower Deck ensigns making you laugh? If not, there is bad news; that’s all this week. Anyone watching anything else?

HBOMax’s new SF series (available in Canada on Space the Sci-Fi Channel) takes us to Kepler 22-B, where Terran survivors and some androids try to keep humanity alive. The planet isn’t overly hospitable– but our own demons may doom us a good deal faster.

It’s the big season finale for Star Trek’s Lower Decks, as well as for The Muppets. If kid friendly (or at least, animated) isn’t your bag, The Boys are back in town for their second season. Otherwise, it’s a quiet week for the Breakroom television, to help us all focus on the new school year starting back up, since odds are good it is happening at home.

Review: Tales from the Loop (Season One)
August 28, 2020 by JD DeLuzio TV Series
Possibly the best successor to The Twilight Zone dropped its first season on Amazon Prime back in April. We’re finally getting around to reviewing that season. Taking its inspirations from paintings by Simon Stålenhag, the show gives us T-Zone plots with a modern sensibility, a recurring cast, and a world where one bizarre occurrence remains in continuity when the next one occurs.
It’s a brilliantly-made, thought-provoking depiction of an alternate reality where, one suspects, insurance premiums must be terrifically high.

So, this week, there is a new Trek and Mor– err.. Star Trek: Lower Decks and some more Muppets. Presumably nobody wanted to compete with last week’s Lucifer drop, so nothing was coming out this week.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 August 16
August 16, 2020 by `Lex Pendragon Lucifer, Star Trek
It’s a good thing all of those shows ended last week, it saves room for some animated offerings, as Spider-Man goes up against Rhino, the Lower Decks crew gets into some time travel hijinks, and the Muppets oversleep. If you are looking for something a bit more traditional on the Breakroom Television, be sure to catch part one of Lucifer’s fifth season, as his brother shows up to wreck everything Lucifer has enjoyed.

Was last week’s premier of Star Trek: Lower Decks just too much for you? Do you need some endings to balance out the new series? Well, there is some good news for you! Stargirl finishes her season battle the Injustice Society of America, Perry Mason closes the case on his season, and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. wrap up seven seasons of Marvel Cinematic action on television. What does that leave? Well, you can watch some more animated Trek comedy as Lower Decks fight some Klingons and the Muppets contend with one of the most powerful forces on earth: Disney Legal.

The slow summer schedule slides on, offering us Wolves, ensigns of the Lower Decks, and the Boys, but none of which offer us any descriptions. Got anything you recently binged on you want to share with the Bureau?
