According to Rachel Bloom on Twitter, this episode hit a ratings high for the season. And for what it's worth I'm in the UK watching weekly on Netflix. Hopefully if the numbers are good enough it'll be renewed or at least picked up by Netflix.

It's fun, but I have no way of knowing how much fun I would be having if I hadn't dived into all the online discussion and theorising. Maybe wait for the direction or reception of season 2 to hit if you're on the fence?

I prefer All the Queen's Men - the film where Eddie Izzard teaches Matt LeBlanc how to cross-dress so he can infiltrate Nazi Germany and steal the Enigma machine. I haven't looked into it but I assume it's highly historically accurate.

"An insecurity? Me likey."

I liked it a lot but I can see why some didn't. The characters are terrible people but it's not until late in the season that you truly realise that the show knows that they're terrible people,

You've probably read Stephen King's book On Writing, but I love the part when he describes putting all his rejection letters on a nail on the wall until it was too heavy to support them.

The head of programming changed between the "renewal" and cancellation. I think the new guy is being cautious, understandable given how production of several HBO shows have been derailed recently

They didn't change it, Cicero was the name of a different project with the same subject

I don't know if there is a "fun respectful way" to dress up as another culture or race for Halloween though. Aren't Halloween costumes typically meant to be exaggerated, reductive, stereotypical etc. so they can be easily recognised? And it kind of equates other cultures with the sort of fictional characters many…

Going to join a lot of people here and recommend the Pusher trilogy, Open Hearts and A Royal Affair.

It's being released by Netflix :)

One of the President's biggest powers can actually be the "bully pulpit". What he says can be as important as what he does. Look at the violence and recent planned terrorist attack from some of his supporters, imagine that even more normalised & legitimised than it already is, and imagine foreign policy carried out in…

Scream 3!

glad someone is asking the important questions

Riley Keough, LaBeouf's co-star in American Honey, is Elvis Presley's grand-daughter.

I haven't seen Apocalypse, but I think it's the half-hearted approach to continuity that's frustrating, like they want all the benefits (recognisable actors playing recognisable characters, branding, etc.) without any of the drawbacks, i.e. the hard work of maintaining characterisation and a timeline over multiple…

Not really a contradiction. Maybe the nudity on True Detective is unnecessary and the nudity on Luke Cage isn't.

They did get rebuked for bringing up paedophilia in an ad, I think they talked about it when they were on CBB. If they survived that then they should be OK :P

I was thinking him too… but I doubt anyone would refer to him a "master stylist." Whatever you think of PWSA, he'd never make something as bland as Live Free or Die Hard.
