Elsie Fisher and Sarah Goldberg are incredible this season. Sally really stepped back from the edge in this episode, rather than continuing down the dysfunctional path she’s already experienced in other relationships. But it’s Katie’s clear-eyed bravery that’s been so interesting to watch. A generation raised amid…

Just give me a Steve prequel series, already! 

I cannot tell from this comment whether you’ve seen either show but they both benefit from being near-perfect hangout shows. The Office, especially in the early years, had a gritty reality and small, but very real-feeling stakes for its middle class characters. At the same time, and even as it declined, the characters…

I must have watched a different show. Skyler pushed Walter to get treatment, was a cheerleader in the face of his brush offs and legit tried to keep their lives stable in the face of a crisis. She felt wholly lived-in. There was nothing single-dimensional about her. And her journey through the dissolution of her…

The manufacturer’s label on the gift, which says something like “With love from the boys,” is never seen. I presume it was manufactured by Madrigal Elektromotoren GmbH.

That is correct. By keeping everything in “one” season, the show doesn’t have to bump up actor pay twice. 

She’s been incredible. She’s the only person on the show who seems to be calibrated to a healthy personality. She’s the only character who knew exactly who Barry was from the outset.

The annoyed performance artist was fantastic. If nothing else, the theme this season is “victimization.” 

Kim is going to jail. Don’t know how, don’t know why, but I’m convinced she’s going to the slammer. Maybe she and Gene get to reunite in the end?

“I’m like super excited for this stakeout.”

I really like these stranded characters, but Gretchen’s segments on the show prove that Lost was right to keep the mysteries going as long as possible. Seeing the sausage made isn’t suspenseful. I also think this show is going to be unfairly negatively compared to Yellowjackets, which was smart to keep the mysteries…

Chris Pine: hot L. Ron Hubbard

Prisoner x Stepford Wives

Ulta did the right thing by apologizing, but making what everyone clearly agrees is an honest mistake shouldn’t be grounds for getting this type of hateful reaction (especially for what is likely a lower level employee who wasn’t familiar with Kate Spade’s passing). If the whole purpose of the disgust is a call for…

Sally’s slip back into her people-pleaser mode with Barry is so creepy. The spaghetti, the gaming controller -- it’s all deeply disturbing. This season is definitely lighter on the laughs and pitching toward the real-world horror of this world. It’s a really interesting reinvention. 

Get Wes Fucking Anderson on the phone!

For people who don’t know, Seimetz also directed Helen, one of the best Atlanta episodes ever.

Yeah, that was the hook.

This show stinks. Adam McKay, excepting Succession, has really lost his instinct.

I just want to know WTF is up with those stickie notes? And what are they doing with Howard’s car?
