Womp womp....
The real MacGuyver would figure out how to watch it without paying for it. Probably using some copper wire and a stick of gum.
:lol:

Cool, but they suck at social distancing.

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.

Watched the first ep of DEVS last night on Hulu.

Yeah buddy! This shit is right up my alley. Excellent premiere. Can't wait to see where this goes.

I don't remember seeing any trailers for the show. What specifically turned you off about it?

For what it's worth -- I'm guessing it's still not gonna be your jam -- but this is completely different than Offerman has ever been. At least that I've seen. I almost don't believe it's him.

Excellent show. I'm all caught up through the most recent episode (6?). Every episode has been no worse than B+.

I'm over Offerman's shtick in general, but he's great in it!

We see Nick Offerman extremely differently. :lol:

Started Community since it's on Netflix. We've watched four or five episodes so far.

this morning I get a text from my wife: "redacted wants to know if you have to be here to watch episodes of community"

watching it with subtitles you get a couple extra jokes that would be lost because of the sound mix.
