I really don't enjoy these three-stories episodes much. I'm not saying they are bad, only that I as a viewer like when the show stays about the characters and stays as slice-of-life as possible.

I love Outlast 2, but the cutesy horror and brilliant designs of Little Nightmares has my heart at the moment. Also, I have played What Remains of Edith Finch three times since it came out; I haven't loved a game so much since Firewatch last year.
I'd give Perfume Genius an A. Hands down the best thing I've heard in ages.
They really did some logic-stretching to shoe-horn Charlie in, didn't they?
"I think we should fire the sluts."
"I hope not all of the sluts. ;)"
"You're not a slut, Justine, stop trying to seem interesting."
For the entire series Manny has been awful and creepy toward women, what the fuck is he doing at a women's march, thinking he's a feminist?
Piper Laurie (Catherine Martell) wore yellow-face, pretending to be a Japanese businessman.
It's complicated. As a gay man I'd say yes—sort of—because being gay isn't necessarily outwardly expressed and able to be seen at first glance or "clocked", while playing a character of different gender identity requires an actor to put on a "costume"—which is often stereotypical and offensive—that they can take off…
I agree that it is complicated, and I think transgender actors should be the ones to tell us how to go about these situations. The only way to go about this would be to have trans actors play pre-transition parts, dressing as the gender they were assigned at birth, but even this is complicated as I think that may be…
We don't hate them, we continue to like them while being open about their mistakes. Twin Peaks gets a double dose of criticism, though, what with the yellowface and all.
Eventually we will look at cisgender actors playing transgender roles the same way we look at blackface, and more people need to realize this before a great movie or tv show does it but is then shunned forever because of it.
Fuck me I just started using Spotify after fifteen years of pirating all of my music and it is honestly so much easier. It took a while to save all 2000-something albums that I had on iTunes but man was it worth it. No more iTunes fuckery. No more meticulously cataloging everything by hand.
The Bilquis scene was hilarious for me.
I've been watching this with two people who don't really get what the show is talking about (which—how is that possible?). They think it is science fiction and pure entertainment and no amount of explaining is changing their mind. Also, both are talking through every episode. All of this is really taking the drama out…
"I hate kids, but I love dads." What an accurate representation of me and almost every other gay guy I know.
I am always impressed by Nicole Bloom (who plays Cheyenne). She could have been type-cast as the bitchy ex after being in Shameless and Until Dawn, but Superstore really lets her show off her range playing a character that can go wrong very easily, but she and the writers have found a perfect balance between outright…
I loved Atwood's cameo. I like to imagine she was attempting to slap the Scientologist out of Moss.
I want Bo's "Girls Invented Punk Rock Not England" shirt.
But is having read the book improving your experience of the series?
Would you recommend reading the book first?
