No I haven't, but I'm definitely going to check it out now.

It’s definitely a dated show, but Judge takes some pretty good swings at work culture before it was really a thing.

finished Station Eleven. it’s not going to be for everyone but it was for me. Probably the best but if tv i’ve seen in the pandemic

finished it up this weekend. I bawled like a baby through the last 3 episodes. Agreed that this is not going to be for everyone, but those who resonate with it are going to love it. Also imagine that it's the type of things where, depending on where you are in your life, you're going to notice/vibe with different things. In that way, it's like To Kill a Mockingbird or, as is topical for the show, Shakespeare. Cathartic af, I felt things I don't often allow myself to feel, and certainly not that strongly - I also came away feeling both more alive and hopeful. 

9.5 i remember damage's / 10 there is no before's 

Started The Gilded Age last night. It’s definitely the American downton abbey (especially the music) but seems less intent on delivering warm fuzzies. I’m geeking out particularly about the old New York history stuff. Definitely going to keep going for a while.

I should have too it just gets worse, super predictable ending and the whole thing could easily have been 2 episodes shorter without all the 15 minute monologues over 3 piano notes.

Worst series I have seen last 3 years easily.

I imagine you watching it at 0.5 speed drooling over the "what happens after you die?" scenes.

Utter trash.

I enjoyed Midnight Mass.  Yeah, there was some filler but generally I thought it covered some interesting ground.  The vampire bit was probably the lamest link but it was a good cast and I liked the "are we alive/dead" scenes they set.  Don't think I would watch it again, but the hymn they sang near the end actually stuck with me for a while after watching it.

funny how it's also the central plot point of the whole thing eh

edit: alright I watched the rlm thing on it and idk.. I guess the whole theme of the show and these trains of thought regarding death have been on my mind alot recently for varied reasons.. it made the monologues fall completely flat for me.. it felt like the most surface level commentary on death and it was infuriating how long time they took to parse it.

won't be watching again.

I told you it was good

Regarding Ozark:

this was basically a better version of this without the politics talk and some gotti jr (and the bull's kids) chiming in

not bad, but if you know the story, this is pointless

so far, this is a bland version of a P.T. Anderson film, not sure why all of these actors signed onto this. everyone in this version seems like a douche except maybe Pamela.

Getting into Succession. It's alright. Gets better with each episode, which is a good sign. Some homework tells me that Season 2 & 3 scores much higher than the first, so I'll stick with it. If my memory serves me correctly I had a similar vibe with Ozark, first season just okay and then by the end of Season 3 I had morphed into a mahoosive fan.

Speaking of which (Ozark) I'm looking forward to the final season of that. Kind of tempted to rewatch the first three seasons but I don't think enough time has elapsed for me not to be too familiar with proceedings.

was planning on giving this a try tonight. will tepid my expectations accordingly

By my calculations each season of Ozark is half as good as the preceding season.

and it’s all a shitty breaking bad ripoff to start with. i think i made it two episodes into s2 before wondering why i was wasting my time

This last season is definitely closer to Breaking Bad than the others. Laura Linney goes full Walter White. 

Last two episodes of Boba Fett have been unexpectedly great, Dave Filoni nailed including something for fans of each trilogy. Better than some of the recent SW movies.

tried watching this last night and couldn't get into it. i hate that comedy angle they're trying to play where not much is happening and what it seemingly takes forever (i.e. tommy wants a giant bed in the middle of his bedroom. then he wants it in the corner. then he wants a water bed. all while never even paying a deposit on any of this stuff?) also- there's wayyyyy to much music every few seconds. 

if there weren't so many interruptions just to get through the first 30 minutes, maybe they'd have something i can latch onto and follow, but as it stands, might as well watch those VH1 behind the music docs and get the story in under 40 minutes without all the goofy comedy acts

Just wrapped up Succession 1. Looking forward to the second.

Watching Kendall on his desperate mission for coke bought back some real visceral memories for me. It made me recoil back in my chair just thinking about it. I also once was of such state of mind I put myself in a similar precarious situation, the only difference was it was only me that was gonna end up dead. I thought he played that incredibly well. Intensely calm on the outside and totally focused even though the truth is you’re actually desperate on the inside and utterly falling apart at the same time.

Enjoying Reacher. It's true to the books. Large man solves mysteries and fucks people up.

I loved this. Funny and smart.

tried watching this coz the wife and her friends are religious viewers. it was (however long an episode is) of zendaya running around asking for people to give her drugs and running away from them when they eventually did not. 

did not see the appeal

This seems like if Judd Apatow tried to make a horror / Gone Girl type story, but it’s not funny, or scary, or really interesting in any way.
