Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
I think those movies and shows are already on Tubi – or at least I am seeing them now. I was very excited to be able to watch Swamp Thing again!
But I am even more delighted that Tubi has just posted a bunch of shows that used to be streaming on the CW (and/or Netflix), but were removed. Frequency, Life Sentence, Privileged, Hellcats, The Lying Game. I hope Tubi also picks up Ringer, which was pulled from CW streaming end of October, and Secret Circle, which was pulled from CW end of November!
The series Batwoman is going to be available on Tubi right now?! Please tell me how its closed-captioning is. Has it been changed to lowercase, because I’m just too scared to take a look myself.
