Yeah, I can't call it actively bad. But it's certainly inconsistent and (like I said before) underwhelming. I would go so far as to agree that it's the first thing written by Mike White that I've struggled with.

Saw the first one yesterday. It was a little rough like trying a lot and not really succeeding at anything.

I might watch the second one to give it a chance.

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.

Lizzie Caplan is crushing this thing.

The Aimee Mann needle drop pissed me off because nobody can disassociate that song from Magnolia.
Started this recently. Didn't realize how much of a crush I've had on Lizzie Caplan for years.
