Bad Thoughts

Memorial Day Eve! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, May 24!

Our Top Pick tonight is the second season of Bad Thoughts (Netflix, 3 a.m.). Just in time for Emmy consideration is the return of this short form comedy that has a vignette/anthology structure like I Think You Should Leave and A Black Lady Sketch Show but the subject matter can be considerably darker. It was created by and stars comedian Tom Segura, who was nominated for an Emmy for season 1.

Elsewhere, Marshals are marshaling, Tracker is tracking, Roku gets Enhanced, The Audacity concludes, A&E has Rivals, and Rick and Morty are back.

Mating Season

Today's Top Pick is the premiere of the new animated Netflix series, Mating Season, a show that appears to mostly be about animals fucking or trying to fuck.  This is from the same people who created Big Mouth (and features many of the same voice actors) so that should be a pretty good indicator as to whether this will be your cup of tea.  I loved Big Mouth (hilarious and often profound), but I know many were either turned off by the subject matter (gross) or the animation style (made the gross stuff grosser).  

Netflix also has Ladies First starring Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike.  The film centers around a womanizing rich corporate asshole who hits his head and wakes up in a world where the gender roles have been reversed.  COMEDY ENSUES!  My assumption is he will wake up at the end a better man and give Rosamund Pike the promotion she deserves.  I hope it comes up with something better.

⭐🦌 Mating Season (Netflix, 3:01 AM) SEASON ONE. ' From the twisted minds behind Big Mouth comes this wildly adult animated comedy series about love, sex and relationships set in the animal world.'
