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.

Hulu "free'd" up the HBO stuff - so I finally got to watch Barry. Really liked it - watched both seasons in about three days here at work, lol. Looking forward to season 3....

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
I know Breaking Bad gets most of the credit for being the best, or one of the best, TV shows of all time, but I remember enjoying Mad Men more at the time. It's kind of gotten lost. Is that due to it being more of a period drama? Behind the scenes nonsense with Weiner?
