Cast of Special courtesy Netflix
The second weekend in April was a big one for TV. Of course, Game of Thrones returned. And heartthrob Noah Centineo continued his rom-con reign with The Perfect Date.

Digital media manager, Alex Goldschmidt pointed out that eight episodes at 15 minutes per episode makes for a quick binge, indeed:
Actor and playwright Ryan J. Haddad joined others in thanking the show for showing a person with cerebral palsy having a sex life:
Director Robbie Rozelle tried to incite a little FOMO among those who hadn’t gotten on the binge-wagon:
Musicians were excited to have their work associated with the groundbreaking show:
Theater pro Rob Cook noticed at least one familiar face among the cast:
Writer and performer Kyle Peter was not alone in expressing admiration for the pert posterior of Brian Jordan Alvarez:
