I’m looking at you Ruddo and Durds and r2d.
Never heard of it. But I'll check it out.
It’s like Memento crossed with XMen with Sherlock direction.

Fascinating. I didn't see if it was streaming anywhere (Netflix, Amazon, etc). Did you watch it on Starz?

Looking forward to the new Wu-tang series on Hulu that starts tomorrow night.

I thought Showtime's docu-series was fantastic.

Every time I see a promo for Cobie Smulder's new shows reminds me of a HIMYM set piece joke.

It was a 4-episode Showtime doc.

And now it's a Hulu drama series.

I used to think fast forwarding through boring parts/bad scenes was blasphemous even if a show really sucked, but now I do it all the time and its so freeing.

I really hate lazy writing. "I get it." is such a lazy way to get into exposition, and it's always such obvious exposition that it takes me out of the show. It's not ever a natural conversation.

Another bit I hate is when there's a conceit in the show that's very obvious to everyone but the viewer. Like, wtf is the point of the show if you're not going to show what's going on? Mysterious conversations where the actors know what's going on and use coded language but then you the viewer are left even more confused.

And a more general random thought is whenever a scene is played for the show and doesn't feel natural I always feel like it's there just for the audience instead of the in-universe world.

Burns must've been working on this for a while. Haggard's been dead for 3 1/2 years.

Ugh. So NBC will have their streaming service "peacock" within the next year or so. They already have a Saved by the Bell "Sequel" and now they say the goal is to reboot the office.

Stop it already.
