Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
Hrm. Ken Jeong is hilarious. This might be enough for me to give Afterparty a looksie.
Ah, well, enjoyed 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 while it lasted.
Gangs of london is so damn good! If you haven`t watched it yet and love action stuff then watch it!
Gangs of London…..whooo hooooo
“Only You” 😁
I was about to start this, now I can take it off my list. Irritating man.
Watch it anyway. You can stop after season 1 and you won’t feel like you are missing anything for season 2. It will be a different story all together. The Ben Schwartz-centric episode was my favorite.
Ok great to know, thanks. I will watch it. I do like ilana
Was intrigued by S1 of After Party, but then I saw Tiffany Haddish. I can not stand her. So irritating. Ken Jeong is even worse, both of them sharing a scene together? My goodness. Yay for fans, but not for me
