I know that this show has always been about as subtle as a sledgehammer as far as satire goes. But the fiction is getting so close to reality that I’m genuinely not sure whether I’m enjoying it anymore.

He should be hawking steaks and “university” educations by now?

I’m not sure you understand what “universally panned” means, my guy.  Disappointment that the final two seasons didn’t live up to the first six - which were viewed as among the best television of all time - isn’t the same thing as being panned.

I know you’ve been consistently giving this show grades in the B range, but if this wasn’t an A episode, I don’t know what is.

TOTK is a great game, no doubt. But it also feels like a super DLC pack to the already great BOTW. Baldur’s Gate 3 truly feels like something we have never seen before.

Asher’s outbursts of rage fascinate me, because they are genuinely scary. I haven’t seen Nathan Fielder do anything that comes even close to that in any of his other projects, but those moments have felt real. It also adds a layer to his moments of stiltedness elsewhere. You get the sense that he’s repressing feelings…

Aidan has proven time and again he’s too good for Carrie, and at this point I don’t want this man to suffer any more than he already has.

This isn’t an indictment of your identity as a queer person, Che. It’s an indictment of your talent as a comedian. Is that better?

What a fun time to have a show about a heroic producer, just trying to get the job done, what with an ineffectual director and a writer who’s work needs to be re-done and is absent. It’s the producers, the brave AMPTP that gets the job done. Silly striking writers and their “we want livable wages and not to be…

I’m just going to enjoy this show for as long as we have it, and not wonder about the whys.

I mean this in the most positive possible way, but I am truly baffled as to how this show got a second season. It feels like a show for like 15 people that exit in the world and I’m one of them.  I am excited to have this back in my rotation. 

With all the shows that have stopped receiving weekly review coverage on here, this one certainly seems like an extremely random choice. Who’s the target demographic for the site at this point, middle-aged wine moms?

Yeah, I’m assuming we’ll learn when the characters do, the extent of the transmissions and infections. Or even peripherally, through a poster or background dialogue. I like how they establish in the beginning, with Joel and Tommy, not knowing where Jakarta is, that they don’t seem to be too concerned with things not…

Fred’s been rocking an ascot since the 70s.   He has always been at least bi

F-find young women, invite them over.

hey, actual sex worker here, and for the millionth time: we don’t “sell our bodies” (in fact, i’m sitting here, in mine, right now!) we sell our time and our companionship. there’s really no need to parrot one of the most ignorant and cliched descriptions about our profession in service of your review. thanks!

Aubrey Plaza IS great in this - but A LOT more happened in this episode.

so, we’re just doing boring plot recaps now? zero analysis? nothing beyond a surface-level retelling of every single scene? [yawn] these are supposed to be reviews, not recaps. 

It’s not realistic. It doesn’t completely accurately portray what it’s like to be 17 right now. Who cares? It’s stylish and audacious and funny and ridiculous and awesome. Why is “it’s not realistic” always the complaint? Reality sucks, I’m enjoying more and more shows that create their own alternate universes.

Cal isn’t “the only gay man” in this show. He doesn’t identify himself as gay, he isn’t in a gay relationship. He could probably be described as a closeted bisexual, based on what we know about him, but you can’t really say that he’s gay.
