Based on Reid and Strat’s recommendations, I’ll be giving The Outsider a look.

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.

The Wife & I really love Sex Education on Netflix, and Season 2 has been great thus far. Looking forward to another episode tonight.

Holy cow, this show is awesome. Mahlek is amazing. The writing is way better than anything on non-premium cable TV, which is surprising because I think it's a USA show?

Ep 6, in which
Spoiler: show
Shayla gets killed
was a doozy. I thought, "How are they gonna top that?"

Then the next episode blew it out of the water with much quieter moments of character development:
Spoiler: show
Angela' conversation with the E-Corp executive, in which she asks about the meeting that lead to her mom's death. Tyrrell's breakdown after killing the CTO's wife. Then Darlene's conversation with Trenton, where Trenton talks about her immigrant parents who will likely die in debt. And then finally when Elliot tells his therapist all the personal shit about her.
This show is awesome. I'm all in.
Just stick with it past 2. Season 2 is kind of a slow burn and a little different, but 3 and 4 make up for it.

Oh yeah. I was a bit disappointed for parts of it, especially since it was so reenactment-heavy, and i thought it was moving so fast, but then they got to the video of that moron who was trying to convince them he won. His story was so, so bad, I almost felt bad for him. And then that guy on the beach steals the check. Just great.

I have a vague memory of one of the million-dollar prizes being given anonymously to a children's hospital, and I hope they address that at some point. I assume that was one of the perpetrators who felt bad about the enterprise, or trying to throw the fuzz off the scent.
