Ended up watching "The Flash", "The Real O'Neals" and the last chapter of "Taboo". I thought "Taboo" was tomorrow, which is why I thought I'd get to the other thing tonight. Best laid plans and all. LOL! I guess my hubby and I will binge watch it this weekend.

F'ing Reagan! Ignoring the tidal wave and refusing funding was beyond abhorrent.
