Enjoying it so far (through ep 3). Kathryn Hahn is so great.
She really is. Just tops!

Did you read the book its based on?
Oh absolutely not
I figured
I haven't read a book unrelated to my dissertation or teaching since last July, so I can't even pretend to say like "Oh yeah I'll check it out." Maybe in 2023.

I took a rare chance on a new network drama, "Debris". It was actually ok and I will continue watching.

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.

ok but clearly we are talking about the same show ruddo
I already assumed we were, and you were asking if it was like X-files. Otherwise, you would have said "is this the one that looks like x-files?"

How dare you. I suppose Friends and Seinfeld are "pretty friggin' similar"?

Finished zerozerozero this week. I really enjoyed it, as did my sister. I've heard it compared to gomorrah, so I'll have to check that out soon.

I'm rewatching The Sopranos again. It's still the best TV show of all time.

Looks like Party Down is getting a six-episode mini-series revival.
