I was honestly kind of surprised to read the negative reviews of season one.durdencommatyler wrote:Monkey_Driven wrote:I actually kind of liked it.durdencommatyler wrote:How much do you hate it?Monkey_Driven wrote:Watched Friends From College on Netflix.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
My wife and I adore this show. The first season made me feel really nostalgic. The second season does a great job of expanding on the first and tackling the next logical set of themes/problems/relationships. Far from a perfect show, but it does what it does really well. And the cast is outstanding. Fred Savage is the clear MVP, though.Monkey_Driven wrote:I was honestly kind of surprised to read the negative reviews of season one.durdencommatyler wrote:Monkey_Driven wrote:I actually kind of liked it.durdencommatyler wrote:How much do you hate it?Monkey_Driven wrote:Watched Friends From College on Netflix.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
I agree. The characters are bit older than me, but I can relate to a lot of things in the show. I thought the second season was better, but enjoyed both.durdencommatyler wrote:My wife and I adore this show. The first season made me feel really nostalgic.

Fred Savage is an American treasure.

Started this last night - watched the first two episodes, and I'm not really sold on it. Might give one more a go before deciding to pull the plug or keep goingABNorman wrote:A.

First episode at least I just couldn't relate to or even like any of the characters, so I didn't care - but it certainly got a lot better

Three episodes into the first season of Handmaid’s Tale. Slow, but promising.

That Dolly Parton tribute at the Grammys was amazing; I didn't realize she had covered After the Gold Rush.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Finished up S2 of Mrs. Maisel last night and wow. I know I said it before but S2 has someone on the camera who really like to set up a scene, whether it's the framing or the colors or the composition. Hell, sometimes it's the way they just set the camera and let it roll for those long extended scenes that have so much going on and seem like a real bitch to get exactly right and yet they look practically perfect every time. It's amazing.
It's so hard to pick a favorite here. The first half of the season was gorgeous in Paris and New York and then the second half of the season was just hilarious from Abe being front and center for the show or Midge doing the telethon. Hell, the scene where Susie gets out of the closet is played straight and then she has to say something about the plunger being sad and lonely and weak suction and I nearly lost it. So left field, but perfectly in line with my sense of humor.
The only thing that marred what was almost a perfect season was the cliffhanger at the end. The show is very well done from a writing standpoint so if they come back from the break
Is it weird that the characters are better looking than the actors playing them?
