Is Dahmer the best thing Ryan Murphy has ever done? Of the things I've seen, I think so. Really enjoying its approach to non linear storytelling

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.

Re: her deciding to give away all her money like Makenzie Scott tees up a much more interesting 2nd season!
Spoiler: show
But that was what was so surprising. She eschews the money and extravagance and the next thing we see is her in bed with the source of both. Was the first season a dream? Did she have second thoughts? What’s the real deal here?

Yeah, the whole season felt like a set-up for the "real" idea. Like they wanted to start the show where this season ends. Hopefully that means S2 will jump right in and start strong.

I really enjoyed both The Dropout and WeCrashed. If you made me pick I'd probably give the edge to WeCrashed for Leto and Hathaway, but the writing is a bit tighter on The Dropout and Amanda Seyfried is fantastic as Holmes.

Did you do WeCrashed, and if so, how does it compare? We want to do this one too but needed a break from the Silicon Valley setting (and had already seen the Holmes documentary)
Have not watched WeCrashed.

i saw the dropout, we crashed and Super Pumped at the same time. I loved them all three really, but overall i feel We Crashed was the best one followed very closely by The Dropout.
