Enjoying it so far (through ep 3). Kathryn Hahn is so great.
She really is. Just tops!

Did you read the book its based on?
Oh absolutely not
I figured
I haven't read a book unrelated to my dissertation or teaching since last July, so I can't even pretend to say like "Oh yeah I'll check it out." Maybe in 2023.

I took a rare chance on a new network drama, "Debris". It was actually ok and I will continue watching.

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.

ok but clearly we are talking about the same show ruddo
I already assumed we were, and you were asking if it was like X-files. Otherwise, you would have said "is this the one that looks like x-files?"

How dare you. I suppose Friends and Seinfeld are "pretty friggin' similar"?

I'm rewatching The Sopranos again. It's still the best TV show of all time.
