sounds overly dramatic
That's exactly how it played out. I think it was the constant canned laughter that did it

Netflix keeps recommending it, but it also recommended The i-Land, so I haven't been too keen to dive in

I enjoy The End of the Fucking World, despite it being a depressing comedy about unlikable people.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Just finished season 2 of The Rain. I like some of these European shows that are on Netflix.

i watched the two popes last night. it was pretty gripping, although there are some slow spots smack in the middle. jonathan pryce was really, really good. overall, it was definitely worth the 2-hour investment.

apologies if this has been posted:
