I lost a couple of entire weekends to pounding through this series on Netflix. So glad to see it here!

I was there at the time and I don't recall much in the way of cat burglar chic but maybe I ran in a different, non cat-burglary crowd.

You know what bothered me? The very obvious HAI, I AM A CAT BURGLAR outfit.

I love these moments too, but I'm a little skeptical about just how much of a physically invulnerable killing machine they're suggesting she is. Even with all her training, there are situations in which she can be battered and overpowered, and I feel like we don't really get to see her fight to get the upper hand or…

FYI, Melissa James Gibson is a very fine, Yale-educated playwright. We were in grad school together, and she was clearly unbelievably talented even as a student. I was delighted to see her credit going into this episode.

Yeah, good point.

God, I think the Froghammer stuff is so hilarious. It's just one tick beyond reality, like East Hastings is, really, and just skewers that whole edgy PR/marketing world. The big reveal makes it even more trenchant.

That scene where Geoffrey tries to explain to Chloe what Ophelia is all about is so wonderful, and then you see Rachel McAdams bring it to life.

After you watch a few of the recommended Hamlets, don't forget to watch Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead!

I would have loved more Nahum in the series.

A theater geek friend and I were talking last week about how if this show has lost us — and it has — it really has nowhere else to go. My husband and I had a nice dinner out talking about the many ways it went wrong and how it could have been fixed, but I notice we're also no longer watching it.

I find Shoshanna utterly, utterly irritating. She's so vapid, and the upspeak makes me want to reach through my tv to throttle her.

Yes, @jerodast! You put that much better than I could articulate.

I agree. I'm watching for the 4th or 5th time (this time including my kid, who is desolate we're about to watch the last episode) and Oliver gets increasingly interesting to me, where I found him kind of irritating initially (as does Geoffrey, I guess), while Ellen becomes less compelling. In many ways she has the…

Hm, I somehow never found those deleted scenes, will look for them. That "al fresco" thing always did hang out there for me, and I wondered why. That's pretty cool!

And the kinky honeypot sex. Don't forget the kinky honeypot sex.

I felt the same. Showing us what's going on in a more intimate way in Stan's house hasn't really been established yet, so it felt a little dropped in or too convenient. I'm willing to go with it, though, because perhaps this will take root as another important facet of the story.

I was in middle school at the time, and remember it with the flavor of Haig embarrassingly and publicly screwing up, essentially, a trivia question about the correct order of succession. It was fascinating to see it through outside eyes, who brought this layer of seriousness to what really ended up as a late-night…

I think I agree with this. Moreover, there is something that strikes me as off in the way Philip is being handled. His ambivalence about their mission, coupled with his more casual and relaxed affect, combines to make him so laid-back as a character that when he does things like go to the woods in the middle of the…

Reg Rogers plays the socialist-conservative-deep cover pundit. He's a terrific actor (I went to drama school with him) and I also hope we see more of him.
