Self-Indulgent Post of the Week: What happened to Team Coco?

(image via New York Times)

What am I watching? I’m watching You on Netflix. A friend recommended the show to me, comparing it to Dexter, one of my all-time favorite shows (and a pretty good book series). You is about a book store manager named Joe who has some . . . questionable qualities but is in love with a girl named Becks in New York City. It’s based on a book by Caroline Kepnes called You.

What am I googling? I’ve been looking up what happened to Conan. I used to be a huge fan of whatever show Conan O’Brien was hosting at any given time, but then life caught up with me, I couldn’t stay up late, and I couldn’t always watch it on demand. I had a random urge to watch it this week, and I found out that it went off the air back in October for a few months. Now it’s back in a 30-minute format, which (surprise!) is shorter than its old 60-minute format.

What am I looking forward to? I heard this week about a Sopranos prequel movie called The Many Saints of Newark. There have been rumors about prequels and sequels for several years, but now some concrete plans are in the works. Michael Gandolfini, the son of James Gandolfini (who played Tony Soprano), will be playing the younger version of Tony.

What about you guys? What are you watching, googling, and looking forward to?
