Stop talking

Yeah that’s a good description. Watched four episodes: I don’t hate it - I find Carrell and Malkovich very compelling - but it does feel kind of like a hybrid, tripping over its own (very impressive but tonally odd) cinematography.

This may sound strange, but I feel like the show should either be funnier or less funny.…

To thesaltmustflow who told me to go kill myself then dismissed my comment. Let me repost my comment -

Officer Dibble was always a lie.  There has never been a time in U.S. history when black people en masse have felt good about seeing cops coming.  The difference is that now everyone has a camera in their pocket.  

The people complaining about the fucking Target stores are amazingly stupid. It just goes to show that racism, ethnocentrism and capitalism go hand in hand. It’s the same story with the handling of Covid. There should have been a competent response, instead over 100,000 people are dead and probably many times that…

When I was a child, I lived in an area of the country where the minority groups I encountered tended to be of Hispanic or East Asian extraction (I am very, very white). LeVar Burton was, in many ways, my introduction to African Americans both from Reading Rainbow and from TNG. I have respected this man since I was a…

Take a look, it’s in a book. Fuck racists.

I will hunt a mother fucker down if they even think of messing with this guy! As a child of color I grew up in shit neighborhood with a shit school system that was just passing me on through the grades. I was in the 3rd grade and I could not read. His show, was the one thing that made me want to learn to read.

In this particular case, I will take his word for it.

Area Fifty Yum tipped me off.

Meal Armstrong in particular sounds like her brand of so-dumb-it’s-genius pun.

I’ve finished this now and had a very different response to it, I loved the romance between Nathan and Nora, didn’t really care for the scenes with Ingrid past about the fifth episode, and found the murder mystery to be intriguing but if anything felt they didn’t spend enough time on it, not at least until the final…

It’s not hour long episodes though. The reviewer must have only watched the first episode (which is 45 - 50 mins) as the second is about 30 mins and the third even shorter. I haven’t watched further but I would think they are all half hour or less.

the eps are roughly 1/2 hour

I think the first episode was an hour long, but all the others were 30-ish minutes.

Amusingly enough, it’s only the first episode that’s 45 minutes long. The rest are under 30 minutes. And people here made a big deal out of it.

Technological indentured servitude.  Rich people can get uploaded and live forever because they can afford it, poor people get to live forever if they promise to work the whole time for it.

My prediction it will be good, but not as good as The Good Place and the constant Good Place comparisons will make it seem bad, although it is actually good. Sort of like Season 1 of Miracle Workers.

Poetic licence. It happens in all TV shows and films. It would have made more sense if Mycroft's snipers had fired almost simultaneously with the boss villain saying "Kill them!". But, somehow, that would have seemed too easy (Liu and the writers probably wanted to drag the scene out for dramatic reasons), but would…

After the clues that Mycroft wasn't just the charming restauranteur that he presented to Sherlock and Joan - I'm glad it paid off in this ep.
