Season 2 of The Americans. Keri Russell is the kind of girl I always hoped to end up with. Because she’s so hot.

Great show. Nice bum.

It’s hitting the spot right now for me. We can discuss the series in a few years when I complete it.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

The Woman In The Window Across the Street… is a horrifically awful show.

The name alone told me never to watch

I was hoping for a Flight Attendant-like mishmash of suburban housewife genre tropes, and that’s what it is, but it’s just done so poorly

Isn't it pure satire? I thought the show was a send up of all the "girl on a train" tropes.

Like, I expected more Mel Brooks than Flight Attendant.

Gotcha.

I'll probably still give it a whirl at some point because you know Kristen Bell but I'll bump it down the list a bit.

We had the same response to Woman... as Trag. It's a mess of a show, the tone is all over the place--formally it's a satire but it's like, to what end? I don't think the show even knows, and so you have these over-the-top scenes played totally straight. Kristen Bell tends to take interesting projects but this one's a bore.

[Mickey]

Like if you want to point at the screen and say "women do be spilling their wine!" for eight half-hour episodes, then this is the show for you, but otherwise it's more pastiche than satire.

That sounds a lot like satire.

[epilogue]

And also something I would very much enjoy.

[epilogue]

satire is probably the wrong word. parody.
