documenting it here now for posterity: i think the way Kim is going to get excised from Jimmy/Saul’s universe is by getting busted for one of their joint shenanigans. she’s going to plead guilty (because she can’t even toss a bottle off a balcony without eventually taking responsibility), likely save Saul’s ass in the…
The Bismuth/Pearl pairing is a headscratcher for me, but I can’t deny that they look cute together.
love that we split the gals up into 2 weeks of intros. it’s impossible to keep track of the full roster in a standard premiere.
i am such a huge fan of Please Like Me and i’m so frickin’ happy that Josh Thomas is back on my TV screen! (...even if his trademark lip-mole isn’t. heh. i guess he finally succumbed to the pressures of Hollywood.) i really really hope AVC decides to check in on this show occasionally.
“...is the juice worth the squeeze?”
not to get TOO pedantic here, but last time Chance did his “fish out of water” sports reporter guy, it was as a correspondent at a Ranger game, where he attempted to pronounce the name “Brady Skjei.” Skjei is an American player from Lakeville, MN and his last name is Norwegian, not Eastern European.
“I would say that you don’t want to assign any accountability to them for becoming prostitutes, and my guess is that it’s because you don’t want to accept any yourself.”
thanks for engaging with my comments on a real level and being open to other interpretations than the ones you initially came to.
the sex workers depicted in the show never “raped, beat, or abused” anybody, so clearly i was not talking about the pimps.
her John didn’t call her “incredibly cheap” though, which would be insulting. he said that a woman like Lori was, “a steal at that price” which is a compliment.
lol did we watch the same show? Harvey is not a “work friend.” Eileen did not simply stumble into the same office as Harvey one day and work alongside him as a colleague. in S1 Eileen had to BEG Harvey to teach her, instruct her, guide her, and mentor her, which he eventually did EXTREMELY unwillingly. the ONLY reason…
yes, and in that class i learned how to support my perspective with evidence derived from the text as well as framing that argument within socio-political frameworks. sorry that i stomped all over your weak comment but it’s not my fault you can’t be bothered to put together a cogent argument.
lol sorry that my literal THOUSANDS of words critically examining this show from the perspective of an ACTUAL SEX WORKER with a degree in MEDIA THEORY was too much for your little feelings to handle.
so Harvey isn’t a friend, then? Harvey, the guy she’s known for over a decade, isn’t closer to her than her boyfriend who she’s known for like, 10 seconds? lol mkay.
i didn’t say Harvey was her pimp, i said he was her pimp IN A SENSE, because without his privilege and access (along with all of the other things that pimps would promise their women) she wouldn’t have been able to break into the male-dominated space of directing. and he’s never for ONE SECOND let her forget it. so i’m…
ooooo BIG agree.
oh, and by the way, irrespective of the disgusting and unempathetic way you phrased this review, $50 in 1984 was roughly the equivalent of $120 in today’s dollars, which could go a long way to helping a person get off the street for a few nights, feed themselves or their children, or satisfy a drug habit that could…
