I can't believe how many people like S2 more than S1. Just bizarre to me

Like grandma used to say, I guess that's why they make chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.
I'm glad you dug it, Trag. I know you were excited going in. Always great when showing actually lives up to expectations.

This might be the first time we've ever been in wholehearted agreement and it's a beautiful feeling to wake up to!

i read that they are taking down Westworld, Love Life and other titles.
Are they still going to be a streaming platform?
