I come from the distant September future to say:  THANK YOU.

Agreed it’s confusing... I’m on the tear it apart side, though.  C- for nice looking effects and a reasonably interesting final sequence that has almost nothing to do with the rest.

I get Script Supervisor Erica’s character; I think she’s excited by stardom and she’s probably a hopeful writer; Noah’s multiply published and hunky and interesting and she probably has been fooled into thinking he’s virtuous and she wishes to be like him, and/or marry someone like him, smoking rare herbs in Paris, tak…

Was the art of Whitney herself?

I thought the choice spoke of her challenging and rebellious side. It’s so Noah of her, to act out in a sort of passive-aggressive, self-satisfying but ultimately self-destructive way because she’s tired of being pushed too far. Actually, I see that in Helen, too. But it’s very Noah of her to know she’s going to make h…

I don’t remember her saying that, but they were all brand new, and fairly modern I think, and ... I don’t think it’s worth thinking this hard about, but, did Margaret’s husband with dementia stay in the house there? I thought she bought them whilst buying hygiene products. It was nuts. It almost seemed like the actors…

I’m loving it. I feel like it’s deeper and more layered while also being significantly funnier than it’s ever been. The first season or two feels like General Hospital by comparison, from here.

By the rules of this show, I think they absolutely did, especially because he was there the next morning. I LOVED that Helen was watching her mother squirm when she took in that Helen had just bagged a movie star and was doing just fine in LA - and it would seem, was leading a more successful life than her mother ever…

yes, in fact I think the point has been made here more than a few times that he is so self-loathing, his own perspective on himself is dark and unflattering, and often Helen’s on him has been more charitable. Unfortunately/interestingly, we’ve spent the most time with him through his own self-hatred and delusion, so…

As a bleeding heart type scientist trying to save the world, I totally find it believable that she has a beta release of a toilet that is intended as a means of responsibly disposing of waste... and it probably isn’t really very popular beyond the most dedicated climate justice warriors. Me, I would probably have one…

She’s like that, though. It’s been her style.  I mean, look at her mom.  She’s doing okay.

FWIW, it’s hard to believe the drastically different world 30 years from now because we’re not as worried about climate change as we should be. It’s going to be pretty ding dang different. 30 years ago was 1989; I was there and for sure 2019 looks very different. B&W GameBoy to iPhone XR, plain text college email and…

I come here from the future to say:  THANK you.  How convenient that the kid who called is the child of someone being deported anyway.  I guess it’s realistic to have them not think of this, but they should have/could have.

Yes the one I grew up with absolutely did. But, because emergency exits are necessary, it wasn’t that hard to get into those back passages from the side corridors. Though I guess security might catch you. The public bathrooms and a water fountain were down one of those corridors so nobody would have blinked at us…

Creepy yes. Very much like a writhing pile of 80s summer comedy tropes exploding like rats? Also yes.

Just to say, Joyce works at a general store, like a Woolworth’s; part hardware store, part CVS, a little old-school Target. I don’t think they sell groceries any more than CVS does (meaning, only kind of a little).

Lots of agree. Though just because the Netflix shows are over (and who else learned this fact from this review?) doesn’t mean the humans who made them will be disintegrated by Thanos. There will be lots more where this came from. And I hope to see JJ again somehow, because this ending actually sets up an episodic…

Those socks, tho.

“A” episode for me. Tightly paced, well acted, suspenseful, touching, funny, twisted, and no Sallinger. I appreciated Jessica’s conflicted reaction to her arrest. I just wish she would learn to switch her phone to silent so the camera wouldn’t be making sound effects when she’s being a spy.  Thus no A+.

P.S. since when can someone turn a valve in a lab and get disgusting sewage to pour from the ceiling? That’s not how ... anything works.
