    40’s who continues to envision herself as the effortless star dancer and high school prom queen she once was. After returning to her hometown

    same vibrant life Elizabeth once cherished. She finds herself pouring
    all her unfulfilled ambitions into Grace as they prepare for the tryouts
    for the high school’s competitive dance team­the same team that once showcased Elizabeth’s brilliance. But, when Grace fails to make the
    team, Elizabeth’s world begins to unravel. Consumed by her frustration

    Daredevil: Born Again        [new]        (9 pm, Disney+)

    It may be another Disney+ MCU series, but it's also a continuation of Netflix's Daredevil set five years later, with Charlie Cox back as the
    blind lawyer turned vigilante Matt Murdock/Daredevil. Other familiar
    faces from that previous show as well as other MCU properties include
    Vincent D'Onofrio (again playing Wilson Fisk/Kingpin), Jon Bernthal
    (Frank Castle/Punisher), and Ayelet Zurer (Vanessa Marianna-Fisk), while newcomers include Michael Gandolfini, Margarita Levieva, and Clark
    Johnson (with the latter also directing several episodes). Nine
    episodes, the first two of which stream today; the series has already
    been renewed for a second season (also 9 episodes). Disney opted to
    overhaul the series under new writers and a new showrunner (Dario
    Scardapane, who wrote for the Netflix Daredevil series) after the first
    six episodes were filmed.

    I never watched the original Netflix show. I will wait for Arthur's reviews.

    I was Octomom: The Natalie Suleman Story      (movie)        (8 pm,
    Lifetime Channel)

    "I Was Octomom" stars Kristen Lee Gutoskie (The Handmaid’s Tale, Chicago Fire) as Natalie Suleman; Caitlin Stryker (A Million Little Things) as
    her best friend Beth; and Anita Wittenberg (Cruel Instruction) as her
    mother Angela. Told from her perspective, the movie follows Suleman’s journey starting from her decision to have one more IVF procedure to
    complete her then family of six, to becoming a mother of 14, having
    survived her life being torn apart by the tabloid media.

    Very likely to pass on this. I've seen this kind of thing from Lifetime
    before - it's appalling that they've let Suleman be involved in
    producing this: if they want to tell the true story, then do that! Don't
    serve as propaganda for Suleman!

    P.S. Gutoskie used to be so pretty, but she's not looking so hot in this.

    The Reluctant Royal       (movie)          (8 pm, Hallmark Channel)

    Philly mechanic Johnny is surprised to learn that his long-lost father
    is a duke. But the duke isn’t quite what he expected, nor are his
    growing feelings for the duke’s advisor Prudence. Starring Andrew Walker and Emilie de Ravin.

    OK, Emilie de Ravin is one of the few people that might be able to get
    me to watch a Hallmark romcom. But they should have had her playing a princess!! ;)

    P.S. I notice the GAFfe Channel hasn't put out a new movie in ages - I
    guess they're like UPtv (and Ion? - does Ion even do their own movies anymore?!) now, only putting out new movies during Christmas season.

    But I did find out I’m still getting STARZ. They gave it to me as a bonus
    for ordering from the right restaurant on Uber eats or something and so I accepted it and immediately canceled the subscription but they didn’t actually do it and the $2.99 a month it’s supposed to cost they actually
    bill every 14 days. I would love to see them explain to a judge exactly how they can bill you $5.98 a month and tell you it’s half that.

    So I’m taking a look to see if there’s anything to watch before I make it go away with prejudice. I will reiterate that it’s one of the most incompetently programmed streamers I’ve ever watched.

    I did notice they had CENTENNIAL. I’ve never seen that because any place
    that ever had it didn’t have all the episodes! But I’m just now finishing the last one and I should do a separate report.

    One of my best friends absolutely loves it. Shrug.

    For me, it had one completely insurmountable problem. Pretty much every
    night daredevil gets himself beat to a bloody pulp. And the next day he
    wakes up fine. Now he’s not wolverine or even Deadpool. He doesn’t have any kind of healing factor. Each of his adventures ought to take place a month apart!

    Also, I come from a time when the kingpin was a Spider-Man villain. Anybody that can hold his own with Spider-Man, ought to be able to kill daredevil
    with a flick of the wrist. My favorite kingpin moment is when Spider-Man
    broke into prison and broke every bone in kingpin‘s body, making the point that that was just the start of it if the kingpin ever threatened Spider-Man’s family again. And he did it in front of the entire prison population, putting the fear of the spider God into them as well. Of
    course, they instantly retconned that entire timeline out of existence.
