He doesn't look bad in all those linen pants, either.

I just interpreted that as twins being a common dramatic device in telenovelas. As a professional narrator, he would have seen many of them.

It presumes that most people would be married once, for the rest of their lives. The focus on virginity as precious commodity is an unfortunate offshoot of sex-is-for-marriage theology, not an integral part. And because women's bodies can have evidence of prior sexual activity (pregnancy, broken hymen, etc), it's…

Souza's feed was great during the Obama administration, so I love that he's delving into the back catalog at all. The sick burns are a nice bonus. It's nostalgia but also a handy reality check of what a normal presidential admin looks like.

Oh right. They filmed it from the other side of the patio then, so it looked very different.

I agree too. When I saw the synopses I assumed the play would feature a gay couple or at least a gender-bending cast of Abigal Adams. And I don't think San Diego homophobes would really get that up in arms about a gay theater company. That feels like a protest from 30 years ago.

The protest plot was pretty bland and dull, and the stakes didn't seem very high. But I do like how it highlights the men's different attitudes.
There's been an interesting theme of how Robert can be surprisingly conflict-averse when it comes to his personal history. He was self-conscious about his new friends knowing…

Can we also talk about Grace's incredible necklace layering with that crisply popped collar? Jane Fonda's amazing posture is the epitome of her wearing the hell out of the clothes, not them wearing her.

The beach erosion line was one of the best of the season.

"It wasn't a Coke, it was Mr. Bubbly!"

I loved how Sol and Grace bonded over labels while Robert and Frankie just wanted to lounge around the pool that has mysteriously appeared this season. It's a combo of the two couples we don't see very often.

The first episode has some great jokes about him scoffing at the term "boom box" and not knowing which end of the cassette to insert.

Why is there a rash of 1950s fashion industry projects all of a sudden? Amazon already has Kate Winslet in The Dressmaker and The Collection miniseries. This sounds like a mashup of both.

"I found two peppermints and a penny!"

I didn't buy that idea either, especially as a historian. There are plenty of people who live good lives in obscurity who are barely remembered, and folks with dark unknown secrets that come out later. Our cultural reflex is "Don't speak ill of the dead," until their legacy gets complicated.

Oh wow, the caretaker thing is so true. They worked together for decades, so even if they couldn't be a couple, they'd still have a long history of disagreements, compromise, and fun memories. That's not apparent in their conversations.

I like Robert and Sol individually, or when they are interacting with the kids or ex-wives. But together they are kind of boring. I don't care much about their domestic squabbles. Seeing Martin Sheen trying to act sexy in silk pajamas just felt gross, like watching my grandpa make out with someone.

I gasped out loud at the Cosby reveal. Seriously dark and nuanced, with a masterful buildup. The OJ Simpson bit was great too. It felt a little dated to focus on two 80s and 90s celebrities, but their legacy still looms large today.

This movie really does hold up well, even as kids age. I remember watching it on a "free day" in high school and both the girls and guys were super into it. (Top comments were how hot Belle looks fighting the wolves and coming down the stairs in her yellow gown.)

Amen, brother.
