Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Finished Mare. Incredibly satisfying. What a roller coaster the last episode was. The show contained two of my favorite girl names, Moira and Siobhan, and I enjoyed both characters. If it had had a Maeve in it, that would’ve been the trifecta. Really don’t get all the Siobhan hate. While I’d like to see a second season, I don’t know what they’d to to bring it all together. Everything pretty much got wrapped up.
Let me tell you, Homer Simpson is cock of nothing!

I had zero knowledge about him or even the world of competitive surfing before watching this. It's been such a wild ride. And the way the doc is put together is fantastic.E.H. Ruddock wrote:Yeah it's really good. I've followed McNamara throughout his career. Some good and scary stuff in this

It's a really great show. I think the latest episode, the penultimate of the season, was the weakest, yet. But even at that, it was still really strong. It was a B+ where the rest of be A or A+.
Easily one of the best shows of the year, I think. Probably my personal favorite, so far.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Part of that is because it was finally featured. Structurally, their relationship has been a whisper in the background and then it just became the main driving thing. I can forgive it, but ultimately, I agree. Certainly not a deal-breaker, but noticeable, and one of the things that made the last episode less than the previous episodes.tragabigzanda wrote:It’s kind of the perfect show for our times.
I do think the plot development between the BIPOC college girl and the Hawaiian dude jumped from 1st gear to 5th last episode, and that felt a little wonky.
