I need to dive into these two eps as soon as i can.

Based on the hourlong pilot, I’d say it leaning just slightly more ito the drama than the comedy, compared to his last two series

Oof. Yeah. Tough binge. I think the most I did was four in two days once. And it was not easy.

My wife can really only watch about 30 minutes of a day. We both like it, but I want to respect her pace.

It's just difficult to get into TV during the summer. The days are long, the weather is nice, and the couch just isn't as appealing.

Yeah, the only one that I really liked was the very first episode

They all felt like "good setup, no payoff". Each episode consistently took the dumbest, most disappointing direction possible.

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.

yeah, I can see how it could get better. It also gave me a great idea for a story, one that hasn't left my head for three days which is weird, so I may have to actually write it down and work on it.
