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.

Good to hear. The wife and I started but other than Catherine O'Hara the thing really hasn't done much for us. We're 3 or 4 in.

That's been one of my biggest issues with it so far.

Don’t tell me what happens.

I really liked Big Little Lies 2. It was sort of uneven toward the end. But ultimately I thought it was really good. For a show that didn't need a second season at all, they found strong ways to make me care and justify 7 more hours.

Totally. It can be difficult to find the time.

With only a few changes (more style than content) the first season follows the book. I hope you like the show. It can be a rough watch because it's so bleak and terrifying. But it's such a great piece of art, I think.

I'm curious to see if my wife wants to stick with it. If she doesn't it may be awhile before if I finish it.

I want to start watching this so badly!

As soon as I'm done with Veronica Mars, I think this'll be the next big binge.
