This was the ep of Fleishman I've been waiting for. :heartbeat:

Unless they botch the end, this is easily the best show of the fall/winter. And maybe the best show of the year (though Severance is also right there).
Spoiler: show
There is something so visceral and heartbreaking and real about watching Claire Danes cry. It's like watching your sister breakdown and not being able to do a goddamn thing about it. I should probably see a therapist actually about my feelings/relationship to Claire Danes.

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.

Caught up on Fleishman. Great last episode, but Claire Danes always seems to "act" about 20 percent more than what the roll calls for.

I really enjoyed:

The Bear
The Boys
Better Call Saul
Painting with John

I was overall let down by Atlanta, tbh, and S2 of How to with John Wilson didn't quite reach the greatness of S1. And I think maybe Nathan Fielders's The Rehearsal was a bit too mean-spirited for me to fully endorse. And I enjoyed Stranger Things, I really did, I'll say that. I didn't watch a ton of TV this year.

Why do people watch anything but YouTube? Shows are such garbage. I'm watching 3 hour video of some dudes building a house. Much better.
