Season 2 of The Americans. Keri Russell is the kind of girl I always hoped to end up with. Because she’s so hot.

It’s hitting the spot right now for me. We can discuss the series in a few years when I complete it.

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.

Isn't it pure satire? I thought the show was a send up of all the "girl on a train" tropes.
Like, I expected more Mel Brooks than Flight Attendant.

Gotcha.
I'll probably still give it a whirl at some point because you know Kristen Bell but I'll bump it down the list a bit.

We had the same response to Woman... as Trag. It's a mess of a show, the tone is all over the place--formally it's a satire but it's like, to what end? I don't think the show even knows, and so you have these over-the-top scenes played totally straight. Kristen Bell tends to take interesting projects but this one's a bore.

Like if you want to point at the screen and say "women do be spilling their wine!" for eight half-hour episodes, then this is the show for you, but otherwise it's more pastiche than satire.

That sounds a lot like satire.

satire is probably the wrong word. parody.
