Via Imgur

Admit it, you never heard of "Siren" before...it was that Freeform show about the killer mermaids??? I remember seeing ads for it when it launched a couple Januaries back...i distinctly remember seeing an ad on the subway for it and staring at it and being like "What IS This???" Well it was a Freeform show that had been quietly airing out its 3rd season on Thursday nights this spring. (shrugs) Its a perfectly valid Top Pick selection....This is What's On for May 28th 2020

Streaming

The Good Fight (CBS All Access): Apparently, this series is wrapping up its 4th season super early because of quarantine imposed shut down---as its 7th episode is being billed as its season finale. (That's crazy right? they're supposed to have like 10 per season I believe) (It'll be back tho)
