yeah, and seeing how critics are frustrated with this finale...like you said, not enough buzz. Also, while the sample is small, audience’s ratings on Metacritic, imdb, RT are underwhelming to say the least. Nothing suggests that this will get another chance, but who knows.

Yeah, I think Ruby was shaded fairly well–I’d like to know more about her, but I get s sense that I know the broad strokes of her story. But Billy...there’s potentially something interesting in that though he’s (I think) supposed to be charming he actually seems kind of meek? It seems like Ruby was the strong one in…

I would have loved to have seen just a breakup episode, where we see how and why they went their separate ways. That alone could have told the audience so much about who they were as individuals and as a couple. 

And Ruby kinda sucks, too (despite my undying love for Merritt Wever). But Ruby and Billy could have both sucked in ways that were interesting, and it could have explored how people’s best intentions can lead to really unsatisfying lives. In the end, the show never really explained what it was about these two that…

They could’ve at least had a flashback episode to show us how they met and fell in love and set their agreement up, but not even that.

Considering the ratings (last ep live ratings were 0.06 demo and 190k viewers), I suspect it’s a game over, unless HBO will want to keep at all cost Phoebe’s and Vicky’s production company DryWrite in their orbit. 

Seconding What We Do in the Shadows. You don’t need to have seen the original movie (premise: house full of vampires and their put upon familiar in New Zealand have petty fights and weird side stories) to enjoy the show (premise: house full of vampires and their put upon familiar in Staten Island have petty fights and…

Yes, this was perhaps its most egregious sin. It was neither exciting nor funny. It was boring, and confusing, and lacking a clear perspective. But mostly it was just boring.

Filling in the baskstory and letting the audience see more of their relationship (why it worked and why it didn’t work) would have been a huge help to the series. We got so little of that, and it made it difficult to know if Ruby and Billy were each other’s “one that got away” or if they were just romanticizing the…

Wasted potential is exactly what I felt about the show. Yikes, what a bore.

Hell, the show didn’t know how it felt about Billy. Or about Ruby for that matter.

What we do in the Shadows is the funniest show on right now.

We heard “Phoebe Waller-Bridge is behind it” and tuned in thinking this was going to be a Fleabag and/or Killing Eve when it turned out to be neither. It didn’t help either that the trailers sort of advertised this as a romantic thriller. After the first episode, I was expecting this to be like the Before Sunset…

I don’t know how the show felt about Billy. He abruptly turned from lovesick and regretful at letting his girl get away all those years ago, to lying creep, to, here, a fugitive we were supposed to feel what, glad that he didn’t get away with it, when it was Ruby who persuaded him not to go to the police. If he gets…

At least at ended at Union Station in Los Angeles. A beautiful train station, frequently a player in many movies and television.  When in Los Angeles,  do visit.

Amazing, Jedidiah would be proud! “A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man!”

This! Right here, This!! It pisses me off all these people who go on about things need to reopen and then complain about using masks, etc....they only realize what a mistake it was when they get sick. BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE THEY COME INTO CONTACT WITH??!!

Man, I want some Chicken Guy. For real.

I mean, it’s true, if you decide to go out in public you are taking the risks associated with it. Disney could disinfect every surface every 15 minutes but if someone starts hacking on you in the middle of a path there’s nothing they can do. And even though they are screening…
