Be honest: It hasnt been easy out there in the wilds of streaming.
This era of competent, if onlyfinesmall-screen offerings was recently diagnosed as mid TV.
ASuccession, aBetter CallSaul, a…well…Game of Thrones.

Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen inHouse of the Dragon.Season 2 premieres on Sunday, June 16.

Weve been feeding on scraps out here in mid TV world.
Now comes a banquet.
