Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
We stopped somewhere in season three. I enjoyed the first season but the second season was tiresome (especially the epigenetics/flashback plot) and by the third it was clear that the show was never going to really address the class based narcissism which animated so many of the characters. It wasn't a bad show but it stopped being interesting pretty quicklyVinylGuy wrote:Have you seen it?Mickey wrote:Bingo.tragabigzanda wrote:Yes they’re all horrible people.

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.

Technically Joey Soloway now, just fyi. But yeah, I think that's right--there's something incredibly precious about these characters and their generally bland misfortunes.VinylGuy wrote:really? her character or her?
