Spy x Assassin x Psychic Child x Psychic Dog x Family. And in this week, Allen returns to Spy x Family, covering part 2 of season 1, because creating a full season in one go is just so last year. At least this show is good, so that's nice. And that's that. Next week, we'll look into some of the positive results of an escort mission. See you all then. -Stig Høgset.
