Every time I watch this show, there are several moments when I just laugh out loud. There's so much good - I wish a lot of other shows can take their cue from it. It also shines brighter from repeated viewings - there are little nuances there that you have to catch that almost foreshadow certain twists and turns.

It's interesting - I enjoy watching Silicon Valley every week, but I don't need the narrative to move that much. Ultimately, they're each in their personal comfort zones. They may claim to want "success" (however they may define it), but they seem to relish the struggle more than anything else. What would Sisyphus do

Most guys have been on dates that simply didn't end well. Is he that petty that he would sue over 17 bucks? It would actually make more sense if he sued for the cost of the ride home (since she left him stranded when she bolted with her car).

This show literally gets better when you re-watch it. There was a ton of stuff I missed in the "Georgia" episode. In this episode, I ended up rewatching the first 10 minutes (anyone out there with kids know exactly how it is at times), and noticed how unaware and self-centered Selina can be.

I can think of several reasons - and none of them educational. It would be hard to achieve verisimilitude if your perception of that reality has already been shaped by the media.

Or to

The central dilemma of the show is presented to both guests and viewers - how human are we supposed to treat the hosts?

You can argue that most forms of entertainment are a "waste of time" - but that's why it's entertainment, and not "work".

Full disclosure - I've watched the first several seasons of the show, but have stopped watching since last season. But I've followed with interest the "Who Did Negan Kill?" storylne, and was curious to see how it was going to be resolved.

I love the show - but the mystery box format can be wearying.

Some car wrecks just draw our attention a bit too much.

Hollywood is stuck.

Interestingly enough, most reviews note that the "ax man" is the eponymous "Stray", but I disagree. It could actually refer to Dolores - or even Bernard. Both characters are "straying" from their proscribed paths.
