Probably depends on how well this one does?

I vividly remember watching this episode, lol. I was visiting my grandparents (in like,,,5th grade) in Massachusetts and watching this in their den, and my grandma came and watched some with me. When Ellie showed her cutting scars so Sean my grandma was like "please never do that to yourself!" xD

Totally agree. He is so hammy/"funny" that he never feels threatening to me at all.

A personal thing, but it is a total pet peeve of mine when a show references the fact that it is a show? Like I thought it was annoying, not funny, how the series was like get it, we are on Netflix!

This! Count Olaf is actually pretty terrifying in the books. He never seems like a real "threat" in this show.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Katie Findlay in this. I have only seen her on The Carrie Diaries (blech) and a super small role on The Magicians.

Probably has to start airing S3 first? D:

I am really slow on the uptake lol, I thought everyone being named Karen Grisham was just some joke I didn't really get.

Also (while I don't think they have released any numbers?) Fuller House is apparantly a huge hit on Netflix. GMW may have a vocal fanbase but the ratings were never Hannah Montana levels or anything.

True. But even during S2, Lucas made me really uncomfortable. He was basically saying "I will date either one of you if we work through this together as friends" which to me was really skeevy. Which girl does he like? He should have agency in the decision. If he never really liked Maya, it was messed upto almost

I thought maybe it was supposed to show the anonymity of the bully….which wouldn't really make sense either I guess because everyone in school would have known who the girl was?

I thought it was a bit…ridiculous? That the solution to the love triangle was Maya being like "omg I never liked Lucas…I just made myself into Riley and subconsciously developed "feelings" for him in order to see if he was good enough for her.

It's run was kind of short I guess. It had 3 seasons, but it aired over more like 2.5 years.

Different networks…

It was annoying how we never saw the bully though, and how Riley never brought up any of the bullying to a teacher? It should have been a very solvable problem.

I do find Quentin really annoying most of the time, but Penny is too mean to sympathize with (imo). He didn't even apologize for stealing Quentin's book. He was just like yeah and then I threw it away screw you. How is that endearing?

I don't dislike it per se, but I think that Marling and Batmanglij did pretty much the same thing, much much better, in their film Sound of My Voice.

I think most of the characters spoke like "TV characters" or book characters but not real people? I can't really describe it, but almost every interaction felt like a script I had heard a dozen times on other shows (not the weird NDE stuff but like, day to day dialogue).

But they did find a video of her playing the violin in the subway. So she did go to NY with it, and she hadn't been back to the house since…

I don't like the comparisons to ST either. Other than potentially having supernatural elements, The OA has nothing in common with it.
