I could be wrong, but I feel like all these people openly talking back to and shitting on the CCCP people is not realistic.

But otherwise this is still good through episode 3.

I think it speaks far more to how Hollywood operates than it does to dude's talent.

Also to how other people can elevate what you do. Look at Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman as an example.

Also I love how they're putting "Joker" in all of the stuff...they must feel like the movie's a winner if they're doing that.

It was so horrifying that afterwards the sound of popping popcorn from the kitchen nearly made me ill. Looking forward to seeing the aftermath play out.

Not looking forward to an upcoming scene I accidentally read about in the reviews that has to do with

pets.
This was so, so much worse than I could have ever imagined. And then the kicker at the end with the Lyudmilla arc was salt in the wound. I don't think my wife is going to be watching the finale with me, and I don't blame her.

I'm waiting for all of the episodes to watch with my son. Yay/nay on that one? The scenes in John Wick 3 and the Brightburn trailer having to do with eye injuries was a little much for him.

Think of this show's graphic content like radiation poisoning. Once you realize what's happened, you're near the end and it's already too late.

I dunno the faces start melting off pretty quickly. The hospital scenes are worse but not by an insane amount. How old is this kid?

I wonder if I'm in the minority here or if this was the intention of the writing, but I barely flinched at the hospital scenes yet almost couldn't watch the pet scenes.

He's 14 in 11 days. As for the fucked up...well, ok, that's a good point.

Complete opposite for me--the pet scene was intellectually sad, but really more for the boy's development than anything.
