Netflix’s “A Nearly Normal Family” is a nearly normal crime story these days.
As a casual Sci-Fi fan, “Scavengers Reign” is the type of show I’ve longed for as it doesn’t heavily rely on any of the usual tropes or graphics to hook you in. Instead, it is all about getting you invested in the world and the characters, as all shows should venture to do.
