I'm trying to watch Ken Burns's The Vietnam War but, man, it is annoyingly made. I've tried watching The National Parks before and had similar problems. Burns is an irritatingly imprecise and cumbersome documentarian.

You're probably right. It looks like it'd be fun to wear, but then I remember I mostly wear plain t shirts lately.

Community has gotten so bananas and fun. I now officially love it.
Watched the first two episodes of Atlanta. Goddamn. BIG fan.

Mondays are my favorite day....first a new episode of Rick And Morty and then Vice Principals.
Both shows are fucking crazy dark and funny.

I always thought Will & Grace was overrated but I'm sure I will watch the first few episodes at least anyway.

Alright, I finished The Handmaid's Tale audiobook, is the Hulu show good? I heard the movie was kind of terrible.

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.

Haven't seen it, but my sister loves it and she typically has good taste. Also it just cleaned up at the Emmys.
I'm thinking of subscribing to Hulu for a free trial or month just to watch it. I like Elizabeth Moss.

Hulu is an atrocious service. The streaming quality is junk, even when it's running at full 1080p. I hate it, but I can't get rid of it because it's the only way my wife can watch Peep Show.

I would cancel afterwards of course. I already have Vue for streaming live TV and DVR.

The quality on Netflix, Amazon Video, and Vudu is sooooooooo much better. Hulu has terrible compression.

It depends on the platform for us. Using the Firestick or the iPad/iPhone, we have no pro with Hulu at all. Watching it the the app on our smart tv, we have the problems LV describes.

The Hulu series is outstanding. One of the absolute single greatest seasons of tv to date. I'm a massive Atwood fan, huge fan of the book, and I was blown away by the series. It's great. Literally great.
