What are you currently watching on TV?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Why do people like The Good Place. Kristen Bell is charming and Ted Danson is fantastic, but I am one and a half episodes in and finding it very bland and unfunny. I've heard it gets more interesting as it goes along but so far the brand of humor just feels like Tina Fey Lite.

i felt the same, bailed after a few eps

Quitter.

You should probably bail. This might not be for you.

My other half is watching queen of the south and really enjoying it.
Some Mexican drug cartel series

It's pretty good. I've yet to watch the third season, but I like it. The lead actress is really great

Keep watching...

Yeah, we just finished episode 3 and the end was exciting. My son even remarked how that was an interesting event to happen.

Loved the humor of the plant vis-à-vis the relationship and when it burst into flames...too funny. Also Ted Danson trying to get that one guy to do anything other than work on his book and then finally just saying it was so boring that it drove him to tears was great too.

Actual spoiler here:

Spoiler: show

I listen to enough podcasts that I already know the secret of season one. Luckily no one has gone past that so I'm good on the other seasons when we inevitably get there.

Netflix’s Magic School Bus episode on how the internet works. It surprisingly accurate.

Kristen Bell's A$$ is why I watch

[E.H. Ruddock]

I know some people here love that show, but I found it awful, predictable network comedy.

The Good Place?

That's... that's really weird to me.

The last thing I would call the Good Place is predictable. Especially, if you watch more than 3 or 4 episodes.

[Jorge]

The premise is cool, the cast is good, but the comedy is just fucking awful.

[epilogue]

I understand the humor not working for someone. I disagree, I think it's hilarious, but that's an argument I can understand and entertain. But calling it predictable or comparing it to every other network comedy is bizarre to me. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it on TV.

Certainly not on network TV.

Yes, exactly. That's what I meant. It certainly isn't standard network TV, at all.

We’re caught up and ready for the next episode. If there’s anything this show is NOT, it’s predictable.

Kinda surprised Ruddo doesn’t like it. As big a fan of Brooklyn Nine-Nine as he is.

[Bi_3]

I enjoyed season one but was bored after a few episodes of season two and stopped watching. Not sure I’ll go back.

You need to. It goes so many ways you’d never guess. And Maya Rudolph.
