So happy

Tonight is TV night. At last! We have the season 2 premiere of New Amsterdam. And we find out (they promise) who died in the ambulance crash.

Tonight, season 2 episode 1, "Your Turn":

Max works to find a new normal three months after the catastrophic accident and the birth of his daughter. Kapoor grapples with the stigmas of aging, and Iggy has a successful day that inspires a life-changing idea. Meanwhile, Reynolds deals with an unreliable new intern.

So happy. This is the one I've been waiting for all summer.

Prior to that is the season four premiere of This Is Us, "Strangers":

Jack meets Rebecca’s parents. New characters are introduced.

I just have to stay up until 10 tonight after a tiring day with our Service Manager out with a migraine.

Oh, last night's viewing of Prodigal Son was meh. I loved Michael Sheen; he was having a lot of fun playing a charming serial killer. Tom Payne was at times so over the top or so not acting very well it made it difficult to enjoy. Pilots are difficult because you have so much set up and catching the eye of the network that you throw everything plus the kitchen sink in it that it is sometimes not a true picture of the show. I hope that's the case. I'll give it another try but at this point it's something I don't really need to make time for. 

Currently reading THE GIRL HE USED TO KNOW by Tracey Garvis Graves. Stand alone.

Annika Rose is an English major at the University of Illinois. Anxious in social situations where she finds most people's behavior confusing, she'd rather be surrounded by the order and discipline of books or the quiet solitude of playing chess. Jonathan Hoffman joined the chess club and lost his first game - and his heart - to the shy and awkward yet brilliant and beautiful Annika. He admires her ability to be true to herself, quirks and all, and accepts the challenges involved in pursuing a relationship with her. Jonathan and Annika bring out the best in each other, finding the confidence and courage within themselves to plan a future together. What follows is a tumultuous yet tender love affair that withstands everything except the unforeseen tragedy that forces them apart, shattering their connection and leaving them to navigate their lives alone. Now, a decade later, fate reunites Annika and Jonathan in Chicago. She's living the life she wanted as a librarian. He's a Wall Street whiz, recovering from a divorce and seeking a fresh start. The attraction and strong feelings they once shared are instantly rekindled, but until they confront the fears and anxieties that drove them apart, their second chance will end before it truly begins.
