I can agree with that. Moody and trashy pseudo-premium shows like Mayor of Kingston are a guilty pleasure and if S2 wasn’t “True Detective” I would have appreciated it for what it was. 

I remember I was disappointed by S1 because it didn’t go full Cthulu and I really wanted to see an HBO show go full Cthulu. Then I got my wish and while Lovecraft Country was admirable it felt really underwhelming. I really need to rewatch S1 of True Detective on its own terms.

It’s too good of a name not to continue using.

Obviously someone at Square is a huge fan of Jim Jarmusch’s early work.

What if the new Friends was like, four hot teenagers and one lived in a boarding house or something and Kudrow was her Aunt Sassy?

I get the sense they’ve checked out on making it a destination website and just want social media clicks with the content.

So the Lads from Liverpool are getting a biopic of their own? Larry Mullen Sr. must be proud!

Sounds Edgy!

The big cities aren’t very blue. Austin is an anomaly and even it is oversold as a liberal city.

Feels a little empty and past its prime like everything else around here but there’s still great material every week and the political cartoon is as funny as ever. Whatever you do stay away from the Onion TikToks.

I want to see a Star Wars except instead of taking place in a galaxy far far away a long time ago it’s set in present day San Fernando Valley.

It was well crafted but just felt empty. I wasn’t “challenged” by anything. The Eternals themselves just aren’t that interesting. They had little life or personality. They felt like they were supposed to be background characters, emotionless sages our real and much more human heroes have to deal with or something.

They went to the future in Discovery and... it’s just more of the same.

I mean, Godfather 2 had the guy from “Dirty Grandpa” in it and he was actually pretty good.

You’re obviously forgetting castaway Sergeant “Fatso” Judson.

Yeah, and when he was new on the scene it seemed the name was tongue in cheek and that Manson had a sense of humor about being a theater geek who worshipped Alice Cooper. Judging him based on that is like clueless parents banning hip hop and metal records because they don’t like the looks of the cover or lyrics…

Dolly also attached a 30-page manifesto listing all of the bands she doesn’t consider “true metal.”

Amazon warehouse employees who have industrial accidents are placed in cyborg bodies to become robocashiers and robostockers. 

My sister’s kid watched part of an episode of Daredevil on Netflix when he was 8. Now he’s 15 and he just sassed back at her using the “D” word. Don’t tell me those two things aren’t related.

I wish I didn’t cancel Netflix when the rates went up so I could cancel them again over this. Their business model has gotten to where you can’t have a nice little show like this, it has to be a major international hit or it gets dropped.
