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.

I choose to believe none of the possible couples are together at the end, except Beard and Jane.

She's doing just fine. And I'd love for that to work out for her. But it's just the beginning. Can't really say they're "together."

Blame Apple for making them add episodes. There's a 6-8 episode version of S3 that's perfection.

Felt like they could’ve explored Ted’s struggles a bit more deeply, though perhaps that’s not this show.

Finally watched season 3.

This show is Saved by the Bell. None of it works in real life, but it’s satisfying fantasy. I thought the Amsterdam episode was the best example of this and best episode of the season.

My suspension of disbelief has limits. With Saved by the Bell, it was when Mr. Belding’s wife kicked him out and he went to Zach’s sleepover. With this show, I had two moments: 1) Richmond were on a historical win streak with one game left to play and Van Damme changed his mask. I don’t care how cool it looks. No chance. I don’t know enough about soccer to know when it’s bullshit, but that moment made me think the writers never watched any sports. 2) An almost 30 year old Jamie Tartt resting his face on his mother’s titts while they were bursting out of a tank top. Get the fuck out of here.

The season was too long, but I won’t blame Apple for ordering extra since the Christmas episode in season 2 was one of the extras, and it was the best episode of the series.
