About Last Night…AMERICA’S GOT TALENT, LOVE ISLAND, and TRANSPLANT

Let’s talk about Tuesday night’s TV!

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT: I don’t know if it’s the most Vegas-friendly act, but Brandon Leake’s spoken word performance was powerful as hell. I’m also very curious if he’ll move on. He’s powerful, but will it be “flashy” enough to get people to actually vote for him when the cuts are this brutal?

LOVE ISLAND: No, seriously, what is the Lauren appeal? These women are all gorgeous, Lauren doesn’t seem overwhelmingly…more?

America choosing Connor does feel really chaotic. But Lauren being like, “It’s frightening.” No, lady, it’s not just about you, it’s also, as Mackenzie said, AMERICA choosing makes things extra messed up. They’re the day 1 couple, it does feel like an insult to her.

(But, uh, also, if Connor opts to leave her, it’s not going to go well.)

TRANSPLANT: It’s still a little weird to watch scripted shows from before the pandemic and be reminded, oh, yes, people could get together in rooms without masks. This has the double whammy of both feeling super timely, but also slightly jarring when you’re reminded it’s a Canadian show. (It very much feels like it could be an NBC original.)

I really enjoyed the pilot, but it’s hard to tell what the show will feel like going forward. So much of the pilot was Bashir delivering medical help when he wasn’t supposed to/juxtaposed with the currently working doctors and directly dealing with the racism he experienced along the way. How much will the show feel like a case of the week going forward?

Which shows did you watch last night?
