Oh wait, is it a limited series?

I thought it was a movie...

Either way, I read the book and really enjoyed it. I also got to talk to William Landay at length about the book which only made me like it more.

Glad to hear the series is good too. I'm looking forward to watching it.

I dunno man. Alex was a monster prior to her encounter with Walter. But yeah, fantastic season. I did want more Bobby Cannavale, as always.

she was yes, but at the same time there was a feeling of " we do this because otherwise we get fucked" that i loved about them.
Spoiler: show
Colin was a motherfucker i really hope Walter gets him in S3

First two seasons were some of the best TV I’ve ever watched. Then it slowly goes off the rails and right into a ditch.
yeah, i thought so. The ending with Tambor being left off from the show was shocking. I guess ill stick around for season one at least.

Yeah we didn't make it through season three of Transparent. It starts to nosedive with the Weimar epigenetics stuff and gets incredibly precious with characters who don't really have a purpose.

Last night I got tired of news because it was depressing so I watched a nature documentary. While trying to take down a gazelle a cheetah takes a horn to the gut. The fatal injury not only dooms the cheetah but also her two cubs.
Honestly one of the saddest nonhuman sequences I have seen on a nature show.

How did you not feel great for the gazelle, though.
